A great feature of Xbox consoles is that you can download movies and TV shows to your hard drive. It’s easy, pretty painless, and a great way to watch movies and TV shows. And they’re all available in high definition. Even better, you can stream them instead of downloading the entire video, meaning you can start watching them right away.

The obvious question is why you should buy or rent videos from the Microsoft Store instead of just using a streaming service like Netflix. Selection is the biggest reason.

Virtually any movie or TV show you could possibly want is on the video marketplace, but not necessarily on standalone streaming platforms. Movies & TV also gives you the ability to buy a movie and watch it if you want.

Both options have their advantages, but Movies & TV is a better option due to new releases and flexibility.
