More proof of incoming Video Marketplace for Europe, Canada
The crafty and terminally bored denizens of the Xbox.com message boards have uncovered yet more proof that the Canadian and European arrival of the Xbox Live Video Marketplace isn't too far away. According to a forum goer by the name of Hybrid Alien, the Xbox Live Marketplace terms of service were updated this month to include a new section labeled "Special Video Content" and another labeled "VOD Content," VOD likely referring to "video on demand" in this case. According to Hybrid Alien, the section details the same regulations that American Marketplace users have, such as the 24 hour time limit placed on movies once they've been played for the first time. We certainly don't want to jump the gun, but we'd bet there are plenty of Europeans and Canadians out there waiting for the Fall Update with fingers crossed.

could it this time mean that other EU countries are in too?

Hopefully it's U.S. content.
Not sure if too many people would pay for the Rick Mercer report.

@Terd
Rick Mercer is current... We'd probably get old versions of Codco and Red Green... maybe older... like Smith & Smith or Seeing Things.

Um, they actually already announced (alongside Xbox Originals) that this is happening with next week's update.

No announcements regarding Video Marketplace in Europe have been made since E3.

Just as long as I get my HD quality Littlest Hobo, Hinterland's Who's Who, and Beachcombers fix, I'll be fine.

Jeff Gerstmann fired from Gamespot for giving Kayne and Lynch a bad review. Sign the petition. This kind of behavior on Cnet's part cannot be ignored!!!
