360 Video Marketplace Woes

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Okay so I downloaded an HD movie from the new UK video marketplace.  It took two days to download.  I started watching it on Wednesday night late but was tired so decided to leave the last hour to watch last night - knowing that it would expire after 24 hours but that is okay as […]
