No. It's basically the Microsoft version of Amazon Unbox.

It's intresting but I probably will never use it as i either buy stuff or netflix it. I don't see why I should pay money for a digital file that I can't copy to my PC, burn to a dvd etc. I'd rather buy the dvd on sale and get special features

Yes and no. While I hate DRM as much as the next guy, It's about convenience. Think of it not like buying a crippled DVD, but like a show on TV that you can watch at any point over 3 days. It's quick and easy to download from their servers, and they may well have season pass deals like iTunes does. Personally, I'm all for more options for viewing the content that I like.

I'd only be interested if they were offered in HD. Otherwise, I'll stick to DVDs.

This is pretty useless to me as I don't and never will own an Xbox. Nintendo FTW!

I like the idea, as I always want to watch the first episode of a series before taking the dive into buying it. Most series I tend to like, but something like Samurai Gun I could of done without.
