According to Variety, Microsoft's Xbox Live is gaining on iTunes tail in terms of downloading, consequently beating other competitors to the punch. "Due to "Xbox 360's direct connection to a TV and the console's focus on HD content, Microsoft can deliver both. Though exact sales figures aren't available from any web site or studio, insiders agree that it's the most, and maybe only, positive story in digital movie downloads this year." Other downloading portals (such as Amazin Unbox and CinemaNow) face problems that make it difficult "for consumers to burn downloads onto DVD (save for a few titles on CinemaNow), and it's tricky for all but the most tech-savvy to watch downloads on a tv."
