thats all well and good but downloading a full HD movie will take a chunk out of your bandwith, i cant see this being a big thing here unless they work out some sort of free bandwith for xbox deal with ISP's.

iiNet already has unmetered 360 content.. hopefully will encourage some of the others to follow suite.

I get currently 20gb with Internode for one of their cheaper plans.. assuming movies are 1.5gb .. I could download 4 or 5 movies a month without any trouble, which is one a week. I probably wouldn't download more than that anyhow. If people are downloading 20gb of stuff each month, and already hitting quota, a large number of that probably isn't legal anyhow. So it would just be replacing some of your naughty stuff with the legal (and probably better quality) stuff.

I'm hoping the cost comes in at $5-6 per movie. Any more than that is questionable compared to hire.

for a full 1080p HD movie that runs for around 2 hours you will be looking at more than 1.5gb i would think, closer to between 3-4gb? some of the naughty stuff that has been ripped from a HD source sit around this size so it would be interesting to see what size they do get it around to.  iiNet is good in that regards but what it really needs is the backing of Telstra and Optus, Telstra i dont see as being a problem as they already offer free bandwidth on other services related to games/music/movies, but optus are a bunch of tight asses and dont give any free bandwidth.

Yep - not really big news for anyone like me on ADSL1
