Zune Marketplace = Xbox Live Video Marketplace. MS renamed it a little while back. |

This is a rather curious development considering that it was only a few months ago that CR disabled the downloading of their anime licenses on their own website. Maybe outsourcing to a bigger company will make DTO more viable to them?
In that case, perhaps they'll start looking to Amazon or iTunes if this venture does good enough. |

If they put Natsu no Arashi, you can bet your ass I'd buy it in an instant.
(...I get the feeling it'll never be licensed for DVD distribution in the U.S.  )

Interesting, but I'd rather just stream it since I'm already a member. I'd be tempted to buy on-demmand disc authoring for certain shows though. I don't think anyone will bring Erin over anytime soon but I'd happily buy a DVD, AVCHD or WMV/MP4 on a disc if it came with a nice little case and all of t hat jazz.

DRM sucks, but rights owners often insist on it ... using an existing marketplace taps a market of people who've already crossed the threshold on the suckiness of the particular DRM in use. |

This is good. I'll have to check whether this is happening in U.K/EU. If so, I'll have to sign up for some crunchyroll.
Not rocket science and its a similar target demographic, so why not? |

*raises hand* Happy Zune HD owner right over here. Switched from an iPod and wouldn't go back if you paid me to.
