Hey.. i don't know if anyone's addressed this yet, but Xbox Live now has Transformers available in regular and HD format in their marketplace. i watched the HD and loved it.. best part? i didn't have to own an HD DVD player.

Not to nit pick but its only a 720P video with no HD audio. If you wish to watch it again then it costs you an additional 5 bucks from microsoft and at that point your are halfway to the price of owning it.
I liked the Microsoft downloads better when they were permanent to your specific xbox and didnt have a period of time they ran out. The way I watch movies I would get killed with rental fees as I might rewatch a movie several times over exceeding the cost of just buying it outright | |

STILL.. for someone who doesn't have an HD dvd drive, and who hasn't gotten to see the movie since opening day, it was well worth the temporary download to see.... well everything. heheh
just wanted to get the good word out for you ladies and gents out there, in case you're like Myself and too cheap to buy 'spensive technology just for one movie.
still....
that's one GOOD movie.

You could also just use a converter for a regular DVD. I did and there was so much detail. And I get to keep the movie

I still want to watch it 720. I'm not going to buy an HDDVD player any time soon, so this will be the only way for me to check it out.

None of the movies I've rented for the 360 have had any bonus content. Quote:

I'm not sure an HD audio track exists for the movie yet.
I am pretty certain that not even the HD-DVD has HD-Audio.
And here is the thing:
I can absolutely tell a huge difference between HD and SD video.
But HD-audio and, say, 5.1 audio? Not so much.
I am certain that there are some people who can, but I am not one of them.
Hell, I bought a Sherwood 7.1 receiver so I could be ready for all the movies in 7.1.
DVDs that contain 7.1 audio in my collection to date: ZERO.  Xbox Live :Adam Smasher | |

-A.S. | keep in mind its only 720 p and you only get it for up to 24 hours.
