Movies and TV Shows Coming to Xbox 360

Starting November 22, Microsoft will be expanding its Xbox Live service to include high-definition movie downloads as well as standard and high-definition television content. The Redmond-based company has announced deals with CBS, MTV Networks, Paramount Pictures, TBS, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment to blanket Xbox Live with over 1,000 hours of TV programming and movies.

Microsoft has been on a roll over the past year with the 360. I am not a fan of consoles becoming entertainment centers, but for those who enjoy this kind of things, it seems like they know what they are doing. One issue I see though, is the fact that these movies and shows must take up some good deal of space. But we only have a 20GB hard drive to deal with. That doesn’t seem to leave much breathing room.
