Why does the UK Xbox Live have no movies, no TV shows and very rare other video content.  Just seems when I go to the xbox live homepage on my pc all i see is new content, new shows and new movies added...but nothing for the UK version.

It's usually due to licencing issues with the relevant companies who produce the films/tv shows. I believe it will be released eventually, but the content will be different and tailored to the UK market.

That is because Bill Gates has a quote he lives by....

"Mr. Gates likes to keep it in the States" :lol:

But in all seriousness everyone with Xbox Live should have access to everything wherever they live.

Well at least we can all agree its worth not having the content, as long as we are not americans its a fair trade.

Right... and if microsoft thought this, do you think they would have bought the service to the 360? NO! the 360 is a multimedia machine, not just a games console.

Don't know. Maybe it the distance from the download servers has something to do with that.

dude xbox was made for gaming that what is was. xbox 360 originally was just gaming then the video marketplace came. i could see if it were game interview, reviews, etc. but its not. I bought a 360 for games only. The only thing I want is games. USA

Rather than giving the random percentages on the number of americans you like, how about just say you dislike the stereotipical american. I don't know, it just sound kinda dumb to say that you flatout dislike 40% of the population when I doubt you even know .001% of the population.

You know whats actually the funny thing? We're not. In the UK we pay more for Xbox Live than Americans. Work out the currency differences and we wind up paying more. We pay more for the games the console, everything.

 Yet we have no content on the market place at all. Seriously they started up an artist of the month, the thing hasn't been updated in months. It doesn't hugely interest me but in all honesty that's ALL we have on there. We're getting ripped off and MS doesn't appear to be doing a thing about it, that's what makes me angry.

Well thats because of taxes...we pay more because our PM wants a and yes i hate the sterio typical americans who offend everyone.

But if microsoft put the live content on...and keep it on...it means people enjoy it, use it and want more of it.  So why not give the rest of the world some of it.
