MS downloads are a rip off-especially when most tv channels offer free hd streams on their websites. MS charges 5 bucks for a 720p movie that takes a day to download. Not for me. The sound is limited as well, and the 360 is so bloody noisy anyway. Id take comcast on demand over them anyday-better quality and cheap to free.
i download 360 HD movies all the time. I love it honestly sometimes i just dont feel like goin out and renting a movie and marketplace is a perfect for me. im not sure what you mean by lengthy downloads i have cable internet and it takes about 5 minutes so i can "play now" and another 15 - 25 tops for the entire movie to download
I don't know how messed up your xbox is but for the majority of us the xbox only becomes noisy when a game is spinning in the drive, and even then as long as the sound is on I can't hear it anyway. Granted I do have an elite but I don't think that it is much quieter than my brother's premium, if at all. I think people just enjoy pointing out flaws in things to make themselves feel better about criticizing entirely unrelated subjects. Besides, I find the high pitched noise every ps3, including my own, makes much more intrusive. High pitched noises are naturally louder and can be heard even over things like the game.

Noisy? Only if you're playing a game. Jeez I wish people who don't have a particular system would just stop parroting each other.
