It seems likely that Microsoft had one eye on Sony when it came to opting for a pre-Xmas release; the PlayStation 3 launches worldwide this November, and will be immediately capable of playing movies on a rival HD format, Blu-Ray. And, although we may yet be waiting a few more months for HD movies to arrive en masse, Microsoft is offering the first ever HD movie downloads via Xbox Live Marketplace from now. The first HD production is to be the first half of a "docu-drama" entitled Gears of War: Road to E3. Haven't a clue what that's about.
More as soon as we get it, including the first images of the player shortly.
