Download Lost Right Now On Xbox Live
The Xbox Live Video Marketplace has added Lost, the hit ABC TV series about a group of plane crash survivors stranded on an island. Starting now, you can download any episode from season 1, 2, and 3, either in standard definition for 160 Microsoft Points ($2) or high definition for 240 MSPoints ($3). Saladhats did the math, and a season of the high def episodes is actually cheaper on Xbox Live than on Bluray, by about $24.
Not only can you download the old episodes, but you can pick up the new episodes, including last night’s season four premiere, as soon as they air on TV, and for the same price. If you missed last night’s episode (like I did), three bucks to see it in HD isn’t bad. In fact, I’m going to watch it right now. No spoilers in the comments for at least two hours!
Also being added to Xbox Live are other ABC shows, Disney Channel shows, and movies from a number of studios.
Other TV shows coming to Marketplace this week are Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy. Essentially the big guns from ABC, and new episodes will be available within 24 hours of airing on TV. The Disney deal also extends to shows like Hannah Montana and High School Musical. Tell yourself it’s for your kid, but I can just tell you want to rock out to some teenage singing and dancing.
Lastly we’ll be seeing new content from the just signed on movie studios Lionsgate, Warner Bros, Paramount, New Line and MGM. The documentary King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters is set to hit Marketplace later this month. Other titles you can look forward to are The Usual Suspects, 3:10 To Yuma, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and others.
