Re: Easy to navigate
On the 360 you can watch while it downloads.
All 360 HD movies are 720p... maybe the PS3 ones are compressed 1080i/p? |

I like the feature of being able to watch as you download them. |

Do I have to wait for my download to complete before watching it?
No. You can start watching some videos before they have finished downloading. After starting a video download, watch for a notification that says the video is ready to play, then press the Xbox Guide button on your controller. If you miss the notification, select your partially downloaded video from your active download list or from the video area on the Media blade. Fast forward, reverse, and skip can’t be used until the video has finished downloading. All playback commands are supported after the content has been completely downloaded.

Thanks for the clarification. Perhaps my buddy downloaded a movie that you couldn't watch as it downloaded. |

You can watch while it downloads, but depending on your connection you could watch the movie and then get the buffering come into play. That happened once with me.

I run my games in 1080 too if its an option over 720. |

San Diego, CA | Let's not get into that discussion kids. Some TVs are great on 1080i, some are great on 720p. My plasma leans towards 720p and I'm fine with that until (unless) I upgrade. |
