I guess this is where I'm supposed to complain that it's not available in Canada, right?

Just FYI everyone, "Undead" is a terrible terrible movie. And not even in that funny way, it's just awefull. the only movie in 5 years I ever just turned off half way through it. The wreird thing that I LOVE zombie films.

Avoid it at all costs.

Pan's Labyrinth was supposed to be released this month. The month is almost up. Everyone else I know has already seen it. Now I'm probably just going to go rent it.

Major, it would help if you could link each title to IMDB so we can click to find out what it's about. I know it's extra work, but we would sure appreciate it. I'm copying and pasting now.'

That is a great idea Major! We definitely need more trailers. It doesn't make any sense. Don't movie companies want to advertise their films to Xbox owners?

My suggestions:

Seasons Passes - Allow me to buy seasons or channels and get unlimited content. I'd watch the daily show everyday if i could pay a few bucks a month to get them all.

Keep Pushing HD - End the Blu-Ray & HD DVD War by making them meaningless. HD Content on Marketplace is great for the file size - keep on working with carriers and networks to enhance the service and provide faster downloads. Save those plastic trees!

Cartoons - Get some YOUNG kids content. What happened to all the Viva Pinata stuff? Why not work with Fox kids or other networks and bring back kids shows. A great way to get the younger generation interested in the 360 is to offer them content as well. THis goes to season passes - allow me to purchase blocks of cartoons, kids shows. Hell even Sesame streets and crap like that. Having all that content on demand would be a life & money saver - you realize how many elmo dvd's we buy just to have them adored for a few days and then forgotten?

TO finallize my statement above - work out a distribution deal with PBS - for christs sake it should be easy distributing content for a PUBLIC broadcasting network!

[quote]You know what I think is really funny, everyone not in the US that complains they don't have Video Marketplace. They act as if we don't have to pay for the content in video marketplace, like we get it for free. [/quote]

You obviously didn't read properly.

One other thing over here in the UK - any chance Microsoft could rename 'Artist of the Month' to 'only Artist of 2007'. I can't remember how long we've had the current one.

Hey Major,

I saw you twitter comment on what should be your first Poll.

How about this?

Has your 360 ever had to be replaced/repaired?

Yes

I'll bet that never makes the poll list.

@StarMerc698

The real issue for us is that in the UK we pay £40 a year for xbox live (~$80) and don't have the option to buy tv shows or films.

Also, $2-$4 for a film here would be an awesome deal, but if we ever did get the video market place (which seems unlikely), we'd almost certainly have to pay twice that, just like everything else.

Well, when is Microsoft going to deal with the licensing agreement with Canadian broadcasters so we can get the "real" video marketplace up here. Heck if you look at the Canadian side, the "Entertainment Video Marketplace" has not change in almost 5 months maybe more. Very "disappointing". Common, is someone at there listening? We've been complaining all over the place, get with it.

At the very least update the current video marketplace.

Sigh, as the tree falls in the forest with nobody around.

Still no word on when the video marketplace will becoming to the rest of the world. Oh Sorry. Forgot. The USA is the whole world. Silly me!

Guess I will rant again next week!
