Just out of interest what are the file sizes on average for say a 2 hour film? Surely if you are watching in HD its going to be 25GB. Can't see how this is practical in all honesty.



LOL right bak at ya. i only slate stuff thats wrong so how would i slate the PS3 if they launched a download service.

and you slate everything to do with the 360 so how am i the fanboy?

oh and the difference is barely noticeable unless your an AV head between 720 and 1080.

lauren is jus trying to be picky. :thumleft:

On the 28th of the month their doing a special download price on 300 in HD for 100 points, I think that works out about a quid, so pretty good really.

Its probably about the only time I can see me using it.

worth it? :-k


Well i'm not convinced as 720p isn't really true HD. Needs to be in 1080p. :+:


the difference between 720 and 1080 is minimal, very hard to differentiate unless your screen size is 40" and over, impossible to tell the difference on 32", plus not very many people have 1080 capable sets

I thought you needed at least 40" to get 1080p? So 1080p isn't available on a 32".

We have a 1080p capable set (40" Sony Bravia). Reckon more and more people will have as prices go down.

as sam has said there are 32" 1080 sets, impossible to tell the difference tho, my tv is a 32" and had a label saying '1080p input' whatever that means :-k but there are so many variables to take into account as regards 720/1080 that the number alone is more a general guide than anything written in stone, if you showed people 10 mixed samples of 720p and 1080p i'd guarantee they'd just guess which is which
