Watch Disney Movies on Your Xbox 360

Last night at a press conference kicking off the E3 gaming conference, Microsoft added Disney to the increasingly growing list of content providers for its movie, TV-show, and video download service on Xbox Live. This means that users can now download movies such as 'Tarzan,' 'The Emperor's New Groove,' 'The Queen,' 'Bridge to Terabithtia,' and others-- all in HD -- to their Xbox 360s.
Now, before you get too excited, know this: Some of the big classics like 'Dumbo,' 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,' and 'The Lion King' aren't available on the Xbox Live Marketplace just yet, but the announcement further solidifies the Xbox 360 as a jack-of-all-trades media device that can truly live in the center of your home entertainment set-up.
In fact, if you're looking for pay-per-view rental movies in HD, your best bet is probably the Xbox 360. Right now, it's got a better offering of on-demand movie titles in high-def than any of the cable providers (Microsoft is saying twice as many as the nearest competing cable provider). In fact, many of the releases -- second-tier though they may be -- are at least within the new DVD window, which means they're the same new titles you could rent at your local Blockbuster.
