Xbox Live gets content from Disney

Microsoft's video download service for the Xbox 360 console got a significant boost on Wednesday with the addition of hit titles from Disney. The titles added include the animated hit "Aladdin" and the action title "Armageddon," and they can now be downloaded from the Xbox Live Video Marketplace. The video download service already offers content from more than two dozen providers.

The new Disney additions, which are available in high-definition, can be downloaded by U.S. subscribers of the Xbox Live service. This new agreement with Disney-ABC Domestic Television will also allow Xbox 360 owners to rent films on demand as they become available from Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Miramax Films and Hollywood Pictures.



Right now, Xbox Live has about 7 million members. The Xbox 360 console has sold about 5.6 million and 11.6 million worldwide by the end of June, missing the worldwide target of 12 million.

  What about us in the uk, we get nothing. Always the last to receive anything and we always have to pay the most.

  Lets take a trip back to the late 1700s to the early 1800s. The Americans became their own country when they seperated from Great Britain because they were being left out. They had no say in what they wanted to do or to happen, and now neither do you and the rest of the UK.
  
  Yay for Canadian education :P

  If the Elite is coming to the UK then I'm sure that August onwards,that IPTV will be announced for the UK too.It's just
  timing the launch with the movie deals probably takes a while.

  Well I just got the latest 360 LIVE reports from the show and
  they said Canada and the rest of the World will be following
  the IPTV gravy train with the launch of the Elite.
  So August it is then...
