Apparently the UK will finally get Video on Demand through their Xbox 360’s. On December 11th 2007 Microsoft has confirmed it will be launching the UK version of the Video Marketplace.
Intial reports state that a Video once purchased will stay on your HD for 14 days, however if you start to watch the Video then you basically have 24hours before it self deletes.

Estimates on cost currently are being quoted that a SD movie would set you back 250 MSP and a HD version of the movie will cost 380 MSP. I don’t have a Microsoft Point Convertor to hand, but I make that about a couple of quid for the SD and three quidish for HD? Which is not bad considering the cost of DVD rentals.
