Yep fed up with it myself. We pay MORE than the US and get less. People claim it's copywrite things but i fail to buy that as an excuse, id on't want to see american tv shows i do not see why MS can't get into talks with British tv channels and get BRITISH tv shows up on the british Market place.

 

There is no excuse really, other than they just don't care.

Us Brits pay our money for the console, quite a bit aswell, and we don't get much in the way of Marketplace movie downloads etc,  so why should it be a one sided thing.

It is pretty lame. I dont get the copyright laws. Everyone stands to make money if people outside the US could download the content. M$ is basically a monopoly so I am surprised when they dont jump on something that can make them money. But I dont own a multi billion dollar business, so what do I know.

First, use punctuation.  Good grammar goes a long way.

 Second, it's kinda expected that the US would get features other countries don't considering that M$ is an American company.  Maybe you'll get it someday.

Wow. I can see why so many people think we're pompous **** by the amount of people saying, US Rocks! Everyone else sucks!

 I apologize for all those comments made before and that will be made after this post. And I'm sure Microsoft will eventually fix this up. At least it's better than what Sony gave you with their PS2.5

In order to streamline development efforts on the European continent, Microsoft has announced that it will be setting up shop in the U.K. by establishing a Microsoft Games Studio office in Reading.

I'm a Brit living in the US. When the Video Marketplace came online, I abandoned my old UK gamertag (and all my bloody achievements) so that I could the full experience. It sucks that the Brits (actually all non-Americans) get screwed over. For the record, I think that it is due to licensing restrictions that movies etc are not available in the UK. I can understand this with TV shows, because they often hit the UK a few months after their first run in the US, but not with movies. Most films are released simultaneously worldwide now to prevent piracy, so I don't see why the licenses need to be restricted to the US only. If we can buy a movie on HD-DVD in the UK, why can't we also just download it from the Video Marketplace?

It can't be copywrite stuff. Since, we pay more for our live, so they could offer companies MORE for the shows. Most american shows are showed over here too. All other things are american only too. I.E competitions, tournements, freebies.

Unfortunatly it's not just MSoft. Some games are AMERICAN ONLY, such as anime ones ect. I've had to import a few games for my psp, and my old ps2, since they wern't available in europe.

I buy XBox Live to play games online.  I use the internet to watch/download films/vids for nothing so its not a problem to me.  I wouldnt buy media that had an expiration date anyway, that belongs in a grocery store

I use the video marketplace all the time, so I do feel for you guys. The link Bane v2 posted sums up MS's reason for it being US only. I am sure it will come out in other counties....... some day.

Is it really that hard to watch TV or rent movies for yourselves? Thats what I do....

But I do understand where your coming from (I live in U.S. btw) Microsoft really should allow all countries with Live support to download movies/TV.

It's not Microsoft's fault. Licensing is a more complicated issue than you seem to realize, particularly when you have to go multi-national with it.

Like someone mentioned, I would rather just rent the movie. I have downloaded only 1 show on marketplace, and I only did that because it was free. I download shows sometimes through itunes and watch them on my pc, and if i cant finish them, i can just watch them on my ipod. But even if I didnt have that option, I still dont think I would d/l movies or shows on my 360. I use it for games. Its good to have the tv and movie option but I could personally care less.

Thing is, no one is really asking for that. There asking for content on the market place. If they can get American tv shows only on American Live then why not get British tv shows only on the British live service?

The licensing isn't then such a hard thing as it is only one country. I know it's selfish only meantioning my own country but i was using it as an example. They could easily launch it in seperate countrys one at a time. Which i suppose they may be doing but i very much doubt it.
