I was excited about this at first. I don't even mind the pricing. But there is hardly anything there in HD. I didn't expect some of the tv shows that were never in HD to be in HD, but things like Conan O'Brien and Studio 60 don't have HD versions available.
I did expect every movie to be available in HD. Hardly any of them are and its really annoying. There are maybe 5-10 movies/tv shows that I would be downloading right now, but I couldn't find anything but a few free trailers because nothing else I wanted was in HD.
I've been a big Xbox 360 supporter, but this service is off to a very lame start.

I would imagine that more HD content will be available when they provide us with the means to have larger Hard Disks. Until then we could only fit about two movies. If the average ignorance is bliss user tries to download their third movie and finds that they dont have the space available then that same user would spread the word and the reputation of the Video Marketplace would fall. It was probably done intentionally in the order of content first, then peripheral so all of the users would have a reason to buy a larger HDD. If a larger HDD would have been released six months ago, would you have bought one?
