Last week's massive list of new
Xbox Video Marketplace releases was best described as massive, though the amount of actual good movies wasn't there. But this week it's a total flip flop. This week's U.S. XBVM only received seven new releases, but one of them is
Sweeney Todd. A Johnny Depp movie, which means we whole heartily approve. Heck, this week there's even
National Treasure for cheap, which too is a good movie (though there isn't an HD rental option). Check the list of new releases after the break, because even though the list is slim, you may find something you enjoy.

so does anyone buy things off the video marketplace regularly? i remember when i first heard about it coming out i was so excited. but i mean 4 dollars for sd and 6 dollars for an hd movie is kinda expensive. there are too many other options for me (living on a college campus) to get movies. right now i'm using blockbuster online b/c there is a blockbuster within a 1/2 mile of my apartment. i guess some people don't have any other options where they live. it just seems like paying 6 bucks per hd movie is pretty expensive and would add up quick.....

Are you renting high def from BB? If so, whats the price for a Blu Ray?

well i am not renting the blu ray movies in the store. i just add them to my queue for blockbuster online which i am currently doing a free trial for. so i'm paying nothing right now for them. heck the ps3 i have in my room isn't even mine i am just using this online plan to watch hd movies on my friend's ps3.

So until the 120gb goes down or they release a 240gb or something, not worth the movies. See ya, its called to baby, t o
