With Xbox Live they have about 80 movies or so you can buy with gamer points and download. They also have an ass load of TV shows ranging from nickelodeon cartoons, to CSI shows, to even old beavis and butthead episodes. Alot of the stuff is 480p but quite a few of the newer movies are in HD. (not HD-DVD quality I imagine) They even have it setup for music videos and viral videos and other misc freebies. Flat out - they have a lot of shit on Xbox Live that is not even related to gaming - but entertainment in general. Not to mention that the HD-DVD drive is USB and has been setup to work on a PC and ‘hacked’ to be able to rip an HD disk to a hard drive. That alone boosted sales pretty big around christmas time to people who don’t even own a 360. It was a very inexpensive HD drive for a PC. > > But I have yet to see PS3 or Wii’s online stuff. I only have played my 360. PS3 has that too in the PSnetwork free demos, games you can pay to download, PSP stuff, PS1 games, etc… ive heard its decent especailly for only being live for a short time…i’m sure it will get better over time --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/playstation-3/184533)._
