Speaking of big names creating compelling apps and services for Media Center, CinemaNow is now offering HD movies for download over the Web.  Let me say that again - High Definition Movies over the Web and in Media Center TODAY and in Windows Media Video, making MCE05 the first consumer OS for delivery of HD-quality programming via TV, DVD, and the Web.

Right now the movies are all IMAX titles- stunning and visually breathtaking, selected in part to show off the quality of HD no doubt due to their oversized film stock that captures more video.  Maybe if we all rent a movie, they'll do more big-name movies in the future.  My son loves these movies as does my wife.  I'm going to win points for downloading one for him this weekend.
