There's still no sign of a UK announcement on downloadable TV shows and movies for the UK over Xbox live, but in the US Xbox 360 just keeps getting more entertaining. Microsoft has announced that TV series and movies from A&E Network, ADV Films, National Geographic and TotalVid.com will add to the more than 1,500 hours of downloadable entertainment content already available on Xbox live.

Paramount Pictures, for the first time, will offer its feature films for download in high definition. Available titles will include “Braveheart,” “Team America: World Police,” “World Trade Center” and “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.” Also, for the first time, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will be releasing its direct-to-video movies exclusively in high definition on Xbox live simultaneous with their availability on DVD, starting with “Sublime” and later “Babylon 5: The Lost Tales.”

“With more than 300 games expected by year’s end, an Xbox LIVE community of more than 6 million people and a growing catalogue of premium content from some of the biggest names in entertainment today, Xbox 360 is an incredible value,” said Peter Moore, corporate vice president of the Interactive Entertainment Business in the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft. “Adding partners and content like this helps reinforce the console’s position as the center of connected entertainment in the living room.”

Now that's entertainment! Maybe we'll be able to enjoy it too, one day.
