Let's not argue download speeds for any service on day one.

Why? Because they will suck and chances are they may crash the service.

This is the exact same issue MS had with Live's VOD service for atleast 2 weeks.

I'm on the East Coast and it's not up for me, either. I'm going to bed.

Didn't mean it as an arguement thing. I'm excited to check it out but I'm stuck at work (crunch time in the game industry!). I don't expect it to come out perfect, I was just wondering how it was looking

looks nice, and i just might rent hellboy1 this weekend. It appears that theyre around the same size as xbl movies 2GB's for SD and 6 for HD. Also it looks like only SD movies can be purchased and that makes perfect sense seing as how that would go against what made the PS3a contender in this console war in the first place

I just decided to check it out. You can rent a good selection of movies in HD or SD. You can buy the movies in SD, but you definitely can't buy any movies in HD.

There's a good selection of movies. I also took a quick glance at the television section. I love how they even arranged it by networks. I'm sure they will be adding much more stuff.

Thats how the 360 TV section is set up as well. They do it by Network (ABC, CBS, ect) Studio (Paramount, WB, ect) and then some random types (DC Comics)

It's awesome, I love the layout, prices, and amount of content.

I just need to hear from someone how the HD quality is!!!
