The digital video marketplace

Interesting news for us digital media addicts; Microsoft claims that their Xbox live video market place has grown to become the second biggest distributor of digital video just four months after launching it (you guess right, itunes still rule).

Microsoft has finally come to their senses and understood what a potent media center their xbox 360 is (You could say it has taken them a while considering just how good their old Xbox runs with the illicit Xbox media center). They are even adding IPTV support for the 360.

The question is; how long will we have to wait before they manage to negotiate digital video rights here in Norway... I suspect that we still unfortunately have to live in the grey area between piracy and crappy tv-industry solutions.
