I decided to take advantage of $5 in credit at Amazon.com's Video On Demand store. I settled on the first season of Friday Night Lights in HD since it was only $15 for the whole season. I figured $10 would be a cheap way to try the service out. I decided to download the videos instead of simply streaming them. At 2 gigs a pop, it would take a while to download 22 episodes, so I let them download overnight. I was happy to find out they are WMV files, so streaming to the Xbox 360 would be an exercise in simplicity. I just now confirmed that it works without a hitch. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I'll always opt for physical media when I can, but I could see using this for HD downloads of shows that aren't on Blu-ray.

Has anyone else tried it?
