The ability to purchase TV shows to watch on your TV through your Xbox 360 has always struck me as superfluous at best. When I heard you couldn't play the shows on a portable player, like say Microsoft's own Zune, I was incredulous, to put it mildly.
But it gets worse. According to the official Usage Restrictions for TV downloads you can't do anything with them but keep em on your 360.

Backwards compatibility is a tricky thing. Seems so simple: Make the new machine so it can play old games. But, alas, difficult. According to one reader, the Nintendo Wii joins the ranks of the Xbox 360 and the PS3 as yet another console that can't quite get its BC on.
Kotakuite Chris writes:
I popped Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour into my Wii. It started loading my saved data off the memory card, but stopped in the middle of it, and displayed this message: "An error has occured. Please turn the power off and refer to the Nintendo GameCube instruction booklet for more information."
I tried switching memory cards, and got the same message. I tried having no memory card inserted, and after selecting to continue without saving, got the same message. I plugged my GameCube back in, and tried the same thing with the same disc, and it all worked perfectly fine.
Chris says GC titles Smash Bros. and Viewtiful Joe come up kosher on the Wii. Anyone else having BC issues or just this dude? ...by Published on November 22nd, 2006 19:45

At first I was sure the Wiimote ran purely on fairy dust and children's dreams, but apparently I was wrong. Someone has posted a YouTube video showing how to replace your sensor bar with TV remotes.

The Xbox 360's video download service is here. Before you start laying down your cash, er, Micro$oft points, here's what you need to know about it, with some help from our friends at Kotaku.
Delivery: It doesn't stream movies and shows. It downloads them in their entirety first, before you can watch them.
There's No Porn: Not even in Standard Def. Not even amateur clips. No, no jubblies.
TV Pricing: High definition shows are $3 (or 240 points). Standard definition shows cost $2 (or 160 points.)
Movie Rental Pricing: For a 14 day rental, high-def movies are $6 bucks (480 points.) Regular def flicks are $4 (320 points.)
Jump for the rest.
Old Movies, like Mad Max 2, Pricing: $4.50 in high-def and $3 bucks in standard-def ($3).
Goonies?: No.
Background DL: When you game, things continue to download. When you game on Xbox Live, things stop downloading. So you're not going to be able to hang with your friends playing a game while your flick comes down the wire.
Why?:" "After purchasing a high-definition TV show or movie, gamers can download the standard-definition version at no additional charge."
Live Account: You can buy movies with a free Silver account. But the people with Gold accounts won't come to your dinner parties anymore. Class divisions are the new race.
What else? Email us more questions at [email protected].

Heres what Gamespot posted:
The latestPlayStation Portable firmware, originally meant to be released on November 11 to coincide with the Japanese launch of the PlayStation 3, was released earlier today. But just hours after version 3.00 was made available by Sony, the firmware was upgraded again, to 3.01. The 'update to the update' patches a security hole which is rumoured to have left open a way of bypassing the homebrew block on the handheld. The update isn't available for download on www.yourpsp.com yet, but users with a Wi-Fi connection can go to the 'network update' section on their PSPs and access the update from there.
So a way to get homebrew working on v3.0 was reason for the update eh. Very interesting ...by Published on November 22nd, 2006 19:31

Ghostlight plans to bring Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 to European PlayStation 2 owners in early 2007.
Following on from what it describes as the "resounding success" of the first RPG (highly rated around here), DDS2 will be released on 16th February.
Described as a new and final chapter in the game's story, DDS2 sounds as though it concentrates on refinement and modification rather than outright revolution - there's one new character (Roland), a "Berserker" mode in battles (where characters exist in a state halfway between human and demon), and a system of "Karma Rings" for modifying stats.
It will also be possible to import saved data from the first DDS to unlock hidden bonuses and stat boosts, says Ghostlight - with certain decisions made in the first game having an impact on the gameplay in the second.
Sounds intriguing - expect us to dispatch one of our pointy-hatters in its direction next February. ...by Published on November 22nd, 2006 19:21

Rainbow Six Vegas is one of the more eagerly anticipated next-gen shooters of the next few weeks, but ironically Ubisoft's not enjoying much luck with it - as the PSP version continues to slip, and reports from the US suggest the PS3 edition's been held up too.
The Xbox 360 and PC versions of Vegas are now due out in Europe on 1st December (the 360 having been originally down for this Friday), but the PSP version is listed as 15th December in Ubisoft's latest schedule - confirmed by retailers.
Meanwhile, the UK branch of the French publisher doesn't actually list the PS3 version yet, expecting it to ship at launch next March, but reports from the US suggest it's no longer due out in the PS3's current "launch window". Which puts it in good company at least, alongside the likes of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Eek. ...by Published on November 22nd, 2006 19:21
