Xbox 360 app LOVEFiLM is going HD.

Available from today in the UK and Germany, the functionality will allow users to stream films an TV series on their Xbox in HD resolutions up to 720p. 

There’s no extra charge for the bump in clarity. 

As you would expect, the catalogue of HD films available on the service will expand over the coming weeks and months. Apparently, in the UK available titles will include The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Gnomeo and Juliet and British comedy Four Lions.

On the TV side of things you can expect  LOST and (urgh) Ghost Whisperer, alongside BBC docs like Human Planet and Planet Earth.

FOR FUCK SAKE just after I finish watching every single episode of Lost from the start. Annoying. Oh well I'll just have to watch it again.

Using Nexflix at the moment, I enjoy watching Top Gear, Hetalia etc. hope its collection keeps growing

and at least its much more cheaper than Zune their films were wayyyy to costly

Lovefilm streaming and xbox rental package is the perfect combination.
I fully rate lovefilm. You send game back within 2 days you get a new one through your door.
Perfect

so it's not hd, just half way hd, lol. just hoping the next xbox will have new tech to actually read disc that are bigger than 9-10 gigs and are actually capable of full 1080p hd. otherwise it's just all upscaling fake information being created on the screen. oh well my eyes can't tell the difference...well excpet when we watch blu ray films and then go to netflix and see the 720i(p, depends on the source material) on the xbox. big difference. great to hear others get better quality though.

To be honest 720p and 1080p don't have a big difference between them, not on Xbox anyway.
