On this edition of Video Marketplace Weekly we're getting wiggly with joy, because there's a handful of new movie rental releases. New movie rentals that run the genre spectrum from kids television shows like The Wiggles all the way to some R rated Gone Baby Gone. Another way to put it, this week's U.S. Video Marketplace is like a Chinese buffet holding a variety of types and flavors of movie rentals. And yes, we did just compare the Video Marketplace to a Chinese buffet. So, go dig in already, fill your plate up with new movie rental knowledge and make your way towards the break where we've listed this week's new movie rentals. Just stay away from the kung pao chicken, because it will wreak havoc on your digestive track.

Not to entertain a barrage of replies telling me it was crap, why isn't Hitman the movie on there I wonder? They released the theme and pictures for Live, but no movie?

I'm not a detailed follower of the movie/Live part of our little Xbox niche, but do they usually leave a time gap between store released and online/Live releases?

Appleseed Ex Machina any good? I loved the original film years back.

@Rufus - Yes, there is usually a one month delay between the DVD release of a film and it appearing in digital form. Sorry ...

Possibly weird question - but do these movies come out with 5.1 sound? If they do, I'm much more likely to jump on them even though I'm getting messed over with the pricing being in Canada (stupid stupidyheads)

Dustin Burg said...

@Nick - Yes sir, most of the movie rentals do include 5.1 surround sound. Each rental lists its audio features, so just be sure to check for 5.1 before you commit to a rental.
