We all know that if you live outside of the US, XBL is NOT the same. It's all about the US & they should just rename the service too XBL US.

Thanks,I can understand if its not MS fault but instead the tv companies or the movies,but it would have been nice if osmeone let us know it before,instead of being quiet until the launch.

So weird that I'm the only one who rememberd MS promise moviemarketplace at E3 for Eu+Canada,apparently all those gamingsites are either ignorant of us or have bad memory.

And just so people know,im very happy with my 360 otherwise.

Honestly I don't understand why people outside the US are all upset about the video stores. With all respect I really don't think it it worth getting upset about. I used it once but mostly thought it was better to either make my own MP4 files or use my Xbox 360 for games and get my DVDs from Netflix.

On the Wii there are tons of Virtual console games that come out in Japan and Europe first. Many never come out in the US. It's an unfortunate but realistic issue with the problems of any worldwide service is not just restricted to Xbox Live

GSB, I need to ask you a question. Why is it that despite paying £40 a year for Xbox Live (while other services are free), we still have mandatory advertising all over the dashboard, even moreso with the Games blade's new ad?

Not trolling, I'm actually curious. Could we at least have the option to turn them off? They just make the Live and Games blades cluttered.

What?

I want to dl HD movies legal to my new HDTV whats wrong with that?

Ofc im upset when they promise stuff,and then be quiet about it for months,hoping nobody will notice it wont come etc.

Thanks for the update about the Video Marketplace John. Glad to hear that it's still planned for this year.

Xbox Live is still mainly about gaming. I want an European Video Marketplace as much as the next European guy, but to say they're just quiet about it is just a little bit ignorant.

Don't expect Microsoft to blow it up in your face. It's a mutual matter.

Awesome update. I'm really shocked at the amount of the features you guys put in.

I have you question thought, are you guys planning on adding subtitle support when streaming media files?

Who do i ask if the "Video Store"/Video Marketplace is coming to Finland any time?

Tapio,I dont know,probably these guys?
Anyway im Swedish just next to your country,I want it too.

many swedish people who want it.

I would believe they're launching the video marketplace in Europe all at the same time. And I also believe there are as much people, in Sweden and Finland that wants it as much as people from UK and Hungary.

Don't think there's a need to be so intrusive about it though, things like this takes time and I'm quite sure Microsoft is aware of everyones anticipation.

Pilo, of course preparing a service like Video Marketplace takes time, but the thing is that MS has had over a year to bring the Video Marketplace to Canada, Europe, and other parts of the world. Its just a little frustrating for me to have to wait over a year for the service to launch here in Canada, though I'd be willing to listen to any reasonable explanation as to why we had to wait so long.

Have any of the people in Europe/Canada stopped to think there might be a reason it hasn't launched? MS would want it launched as soon as possible, as as long as it isn't launched, they're missing out on profit. I'm sure the delay is due to copyright or other legal reasons.

But of course none of you thought THAT, that makes to mucvh sense doesn't it and thne you wouldn't be able to kick and scream.

Hi all,

im leader of a xbox360 clan. We dont need video marketplace. what we want and of what we're waiting for are things like a browser (a thing that all other consoles have) and mostley wantet: a group chat function.

we dont understand that u can have a lobby with perhaps 16 gamers to talk and play in every game but not in the dashboard!!! when u are in chat with on member and a other member came on and want chat u have to change the chat room!

a problem more: new games like halo 3 are not playable in multiplayer. lag lag lag. we are a halo-clan. but we dont play it (even campaign is too laggy). very pity.

theese are the things ms has to change! not such useless function like theese friendlist-update!

cu vaijon (sorry if this is not the right thread, but we are all upset about this situation in the moment.  and sorry for my poor english)

p.s. an other thing that would be great: people with premium xbox 360 should have the possibility to install their games on the hdd. my god: the box is terrible loud when u play mass effect!

again: sorry for my english

haha tea and crumpit eating fags dont get to download movies still LOL emo bicthes!

Hang in there Europe once you get the Marketplace it will feel like you've always had it.

"Improved Xbox guide performance ~2x" < why is this hidden in the last section of the feature list and not nailed to one of the top spots? I welcome this little update more than some XLVM or DivX support and Friends of Friends feature.

Please add more codec support (preferrably before the next full dash update -- I do think this is a separate optional download, right)?

Specifically, I'm looking for MJPG support in AVI containers to play Canon Powershot home videos, of which I have a ton.
