Do you use the movie renting services on Live or plan to use the one on the PS3?
I tried it out the other day just to see that animated batman and to try the service out, probably won't use it again unless they get some exlusives deals like allowing you to rent films a month or two in advance of the DVD release.

Save those snails!

Well for picture quality you can't beat good old fasioned optical storage, theres quite a lot of compression artifacts in the picture but i guess thats to be expected when they have squished most SD movies down to about 1GB and most HD movies to 4.5GB.

Gotta wonder if it's still really HD material your getting though I mean these movies required a new disk formate to fit in the material yet there squashing them down to 4-5GB for these services, you will be getting the higher res but you won't be getting the audio or picture quality present in the disk versions.

I've used the service a couple of times when they've had HD films for 100 points but I wouldn't normally bother.

---

I'd definitely use it if there was new stuff I want to watch. SD is fine because I only have a small screen and watch from quite far away.

Last I looked it was all really shit films from 8 years ago like wikiwkiwildwildwest though.

I much prefer having the actual DVD any day. If I pay moniez for something I expect to have something tangible.

And they're cheap as muck nowadays anyway.

---

I actually copied the film using a DVD recorder and managed to extend the 24 hour lease to 48 hours by changing the clock. Go me!

---

Heh, we can do that will online submissions at uni, can get an extra hour or so.
