Nov. 7 In a move that will continue to let Microsoft compare themselves to the iTunes music store, Microsoft announced that hi-def movies and television programs would be available on the (U.S.-based) Xbox Live Marketplace on November 22.
In addition to adding the Video Marketplace to the Xbox Live experience (yes, it will use the same point system that Xbox Live Arcade, Marketplace and the Zune all use), Microsoft announced partnerships with six media companies to provide content for the Video Marketplace.
CBS, Warner Bros., Viacom, Paramount, UFC and Turner will all provide content (in their own release windows) for the Video Marketplace. Microsoft's corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios, Shane Kim, said that users can expect 1,000 hours of unique content by the end of the year, with over 200 hours of it available in HD.
