Major movie studio to offer the likes of Transformers to rent on 360’s download service
Microsoft has announced that it has struck a deal with major US movie studio Paramount that will see a number of new films available to download via Xbox Live.
The Xbox Live Video Store, which finally launched in Europe just before Christmas, allows users to download movies that are accessible for a limited time before the license expires.
From tomorrow (February 19th) three new movies will become available – Disturbia, 1408 and recent cinema hit Transformers. The latter title will be available in both SD and HD formats for 250 Microsoft Points and 380 Microsoft Points respectively.
Also of interest, considering recent news, is that this is the first time Transformers will be available in HD for those who don't own an HD-DVD player.

Nice buy...
I would like television episodes like they get on the USA marketplace as well.
Re: Nice buy...
We need a lot more movies to choose from rather than the 33 old ones up there at the moment. Ok, so we have 36 now, great....
Re: Nice buy...
Err we actually have around 41 or 43 go have another look hehehe
Re: Nice buy...
This won't work. PCs outnumber all consoles put together and any console vendor offering downloads just for their format is a total waste of time.
What is the security on this offer? Is it DRM-based?
Only winner I see here is Paramount, as this means another way for it to make more money out of old films that have passed their DVD rental/purchase dates.
