From Microsoft's press release: "Beginning Nov. 22, on its first anniversary, Xbox 360 will be the first gaming console in history to provide high-definition TV shows and movies directly to gamers in their living rooms. Xbox 360 gamers will have access to the full-length TV shows as downloads to own and movies to rent via download from the Xbox Live® network, the worldwide leader in online distribution of high-definition gaming and entertainment content. This announcement also brings with it several additional “firsts”:

For the first time, consumers will get an integrated gaming and entertainment experience on a gaming console that includes downloadable high-definition TV shows and movies. This new full-length content adds to the ever-expanding number of choices gamers have on their Xbox 360, whether they want to play games or play a movie on a disc or as a download in high definition or standard definition."

Several of the movies announced were:
“M:i:III,” Nacho Libre” and “Jackass: The Movie” from Paramount Pictures and “The Matrix,” “Superman Returns” and “Batman Forever” from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

It'll be interesting to see if a new hard drive is introduced to handle the need for greater storage capacity of the digital downloads. Would this announcement affect your purchasing decision on the upcoming Xbox 360 HD DVD player?
