Video Marketplace Weekly: March along edition

by Dustin Burg { Feb 29th 2008 at 4:15PM }

Wrapping up the week is another edition of Video Marketplace Weekly and we have another stack of new movie rentals available on the U.S. Video Marketplace. There are actually quite a few goodies this week including Batman Begins (which will prepare you for this Summer's blockbuster The Dark Knight) as well as a few random comedy and horror flicks. You can view this week's entire U.S. Video Marketplace movie releases as well as their download stats after the break.

We also wanted to point you in the direction of the Gamerscore Blog's post about upcoming XBVM content that's set to release in March. Movie rentals including March of the Penguins, Training Day and Rain Man. Even more exciting is the fact that the highly anticipated Robot Chicken: Star Wars movie will be available March 4th, which is two months earlier than its DVD release. There's also going to be a free Lewis Black: Root of All Evil download in March and new episodes of South Park will be making their premiere. Jump on over to the Gamerscore Blog for complete XBVM release details.

I know this isn't the right place for this, but can You(moderator) give us news on WHY Call of Duty 4 isn't working Post-Patch, so we can all bitch and cry together here? Thanks, T$

1) the COD4 patch worked fine for me.
2) I wish I could download movies in Canada.

As for the map loading, this is also due to a reset. When you play CoD, the maps are often loaded into the 360's RAM, where they are loaded much faster then if they were being read from the disk. When the patch came out, the RAM was cleared, and maps have to read from the disk. Even if you have already played that map, chances are someone in the game hasn't yet played, and you are waiting for them. Again, after a few days this problem should probably diminish.
