On November 22 Microsoft will launch Xbox Live Video, a service that will allow users to download standard and high definition movies and TV shows to the Xbox 360. Content will be available from CBS, MTV, Comedy Central (Southpark!), VH1 and others, plus movies from Paramount and Warner Brothers. The initial lineup will total over 1000 hours of content. This will make the Xbox 360 the first gaming console to bring standard and high-def programming over the internet into your living room. This will definitely bring some additional value to the Xbox 360, unless Sony has something up its sleeve for the PS3 launch, which won't really be a launch since very few people will even be able to get their hands on one. Engadget has uncovered a few more details so head on over there for more info.

It'll be fun to see what thousands of Xbox users downloading Mission Impossible 3 in HD will do to the tubes.
