XboxLIVE! Film Club Announced

Microsoft yesterday announced a unique initiative that will enable entertainment fans to see some of the most anticipated new movies before their theatrical release.

The "XboxLIVE! Film Club" will be delivering a number of sneak preview screenings to a select group of Xbox fans in an exclusive setting, giving them the chance to see brand new movie titles before anyone else.

Commenting on the new programme and the films lined up, James Houlton XboxLIVE! Marketing Manager, Microsoft UK said: "We've got some truly compelling blockbuster titles and HD content on our XboxLIVE! Video Store service, with recent smashes Cloverfield, Stardust, Beowulf, The Kite Runner and I Am Legend all resonating extremely well with our audience. Now with the launch of the "Xbox Film Club", Xbox fans will be able to get the jump on their friends and see some of the biggest films of the year before...

I prefer by 52" LCD, 5.1 Master Audio, and Bluray first time. If I can hold out long enough. I'm actually managed to hold out on Dark Knight and Iron Man and will get both before Christmas. Though Dec. 16 is a long wait for Dark Knight. But, my home theatre has better video and audio than the theatre. My PS3 has made the theatre a chick-flick/makeout excursion.

I gotta give MS credit... They are trying some things I never expected they would do! I don't agree with all of them, but I respect them for trying!

This is a pretty neat idea. They have to do something... PS3 has all the blockbusters movies coming out on Bluray.

It it just previews? Thats alright I guess. Success will really depend on what movies get sneak peaks and if they are more than 1min long.

Never thought of that.

As a side note, I want to know how you get into this "exclusive" showing.

Haha yes thats true but how in the world are you going to record off your DVD player before the movie even hits the theaters?? this (how i am understanding it) shows that you watch it before the premier of the movie...

I'll think about getting excited when it's available to more than 'a select group of Xbox fans'. We all bought the console, we all pay for XBL, so why isn't it available to all?
