Since my not-so-great initial experience with Video Marketplace, I’ve used it several times without any problems - my only frustration had been with the slow pace of updates to the catalogue, so this news is most welcome! Who needs to be stuck in the middle of a “phoney phormat war” between the HD-DVD Jets and the Blu-Ray Sharks, anyway? (Via: CrunchGear.)
