We’ve been enjoying the privilege of downloading movies and TV shows in both HD and SD formats for over a year now, but alas, our friends in the UK are finally getting a taste. They are starting out with just movies, with the newest one apparently being 300.
The SD ones will cost you 250 points to rent, while the HD ones will cost you 380 points to rent. The rentals last for 2 weeks, or 24 hours once you actually start the film. I don’t have a monetary equivalency for the 250 points, but 380 of them are roughly £3.20.
Once again, if you are going to make heavy use of this service, especially if you prefer HD films, I’d recommend upgrading that hard drive. However, since they expire 24 hours after you start watching them, you should be alright with the 20GB HDD as long as you don’t download too many films at once.
