First of all...480p does not even begin to hold a candle to 720p...period! Color Saturation and Contrast alone in 720p blow away 480p...not to mention the huge increase in resolution. I will say nothing more of this point as it is so utterly ridiculous.
I have the HD-DVD add on for Xbox 360 and have on several occasions rented 720p movies from the marketplace as well. While the downloads quality is not quite as good as HD-DVD...the quality certainly comes close.
You should try it for yourself before you talk trash about it. And as of this evening...the Xbox is the only way to download and watch HD movies and TV shows. There is currently no other avenue for downloadable HD content.
