Disney Movies on Xbox 360

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

xbox360-1.jpgThe Xbox 360 is one of those game consoles I have a weakness for. I love the graphics, the games and the whole box itself. One great feature is the networking capabilities that can give you access to online game demo downloads, videos and movies. The only problem; I (still) don’t own one…

Maybe the new feature will bring me to the shop; the possibility to rent Disney Movies via the Xbox. Xbox owners will be able to rent Disney movies in high definition (720p) format with a 5.1 surround soundtrack. That is an improvement from the Itunes videos shown in the 640×480 format. On the other hand, you will not be able to keep the movies, once the rental times expires they are gone…

Renting a movie can be done using points. 1600 points will set you back $20 but for that you’ll be able to rent a movie for 480 points each. (with some movies for a little less).

The rental possibilities are limited to the US for the time being, but should be open for Canada and Europe by the end of the year.
