the download speeds are HORRIBLE!
lets see... an hd movie is about 6GB... that is a quite bit...
so it isn't going to be slow
if you have downloaded a demo that is a GB big you know it will be a long download... but who cares...
480 pts is a grat price for a 14 day rental of an HD movie.. i mean 14days and 24 hours after you start watching it.. not bad...
great job Microsoft!!!!:D
Microsoft's servers suck arse and are so freakin slow even with my fiber optic connection ill be lucky if I get to watch the freakin vids by day 14!!!
Burn in hell Microsoft and your cheaparse servers!
soooo much money Bill Gates has the least he could do is get better servers!!!! Bill Gates runs like a girl.
no ***** it's 6gb, but it shouldn't take sooo long. i could pirate the movie in at least 2 hours...the movie i'm dling is going to take at least 6 hours and i'm using cable. microsoft sucked it up with this one.
Bill Gates has nothing to do with it you kidiot.
But yeah, these servers are complete crap. It takes me forever to even make the transaction to order a movie. It also took over 3 hours to download a 1.5gb movie. This is annoying, and unless they fix it, this video marketplace is going to fail big time.
Where's it coming from??? We got all these options for download and not even 20 FULL gb to store it on??
Are USB hard drives compatable?
Having decided to test this glorious service (cough) I ran into first a failure to download with a nice message that stated that my points were used, and tough *****, luckly it appears that it was intelligent enough to at least recall my transaction and allowed me to attempt to download it again. Doing so, failed yet once more only by simply not downloading at all. I gave up and decided to tinker with a demo I recently downloaded, after that i decided to try once more for the fun of it, while it downloaded something, it was a far cry from what I ordered. Seems to off to a good start (haha).
Hopefully everyone else is having better experiences with it than I am, but over all, I'd be wary of it right now until they get the bugs taken care of.

This service has just been released! everyone will be on their trying it out and downloading like mad! give it a few days and the speeds should go up and waiting time down.
I waited one hour for V for Vendeta in HD to get to 4% (!), only to have the thing cancel itself. Upon re-downloading it and waiting another hour for it to get to 10%, I get a "V for Vendeta could not be downloaded" message, and it cancels. I tried re-downloading it (AGAIN) at 2 AM, and by 3 AM it was at 25%. The lesson here is: DO NOT DOWNLOAD MOVIES AT BUSY TIMES. It will only lead to pain. Just leave it on over-night, save yourself the torment.
To the guy above me, I don't care how large server load is, the crap should download faster than 1% every 15 god-damned minutes, even at busy hours.
Here in the UK we can't even access the marketplace and may never be able to! So enjoy your slow download times because you're lucky to have any downloads at all!
either video market place is hosted somewhere different than the demos and such, or the bandwidth is being throttled seriously.
a 1gig demo still downloads pretty fast, but a 220meg tv episode takes way over an hour. i can usually download the same size file in about 5 mins.
if the video marketplace can't handle the relatively small number of users attempting to use it now, how is it going to handle christmas day?
excellent job otherwise m$, just give us more bandwidth damnit...
THIS IS the bEST ..fast downloads...plenty of movie and tv choices...plus free music videos!!
I think microsoft just fixed it, but if they did not just yet it will get better I remember last year when game demos took forever, now they are much quicker and yes the tv and movie downloads are not on the same servers as game demos.
actually that was earlier this year that the demos were taking forever
this is a sweet new service....i love it....you guys are retards for complaining since of course its goin to be a little slow...the world will be downloading everything.....just be happy they came up with this amazing idea.....besides my dl only took about 45 mins for a movie....pretty good if you ask me
