UK Xbox Live users gain access to NBC Universal films

Yeah, this is as international as international gets, but it's simply too high-impact to wait for a weekly roundup. Announced at a London event by UK Head of Xbox Neil Thompson, Xbox Live users in the United Kingdom will finally have access to NBC Universal films. The move comes nearly a year after this same announcement was made in the US, and while there's been no word yet, we're crossing our fingers that the pond jump is just one of many that'll take place.

Wow, this is interesting. U.S. users can't access Hulu on Boxee (easily) and tv.com has been given take-down orders, but U.K. viewers can watch NBC content.

Just use Play On if you want content your region does not use. Its only $29.99. Gives you nextflix without live( why would you not have live) gives you CBS, Hulu, Youtube and others.

Not very interesting that can't access Hulu on Boxee (easily) and tv.com, why couldn't while UK could!!! I convert the set in it using software download from http://www.copy-dvd.org but also doesn't works. Really Crazy!!!
