Note
If you can't purchase and download a particular title in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, it may be that title is restricted by region. Some content is unavailable in some regions.
Video content is divided into two types: video purchase and video rental. Make sure you read and understand the terms for the type of content you are downloading.
- Video Rental: When you download a video marked as video rental, you must watch the video within 14 days from the moment you select Confirm Download. The 14 days includes download time. Once you select Play to begin watching the video, you have 24 hours to view it. After the 24 hours or 14 days (whichever applies), the rental expires, and you will not be able to view the video unless you rent it again. If you delete the video before you watch it, you can download it again from Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web without paying a second time, as long as the rental hasn’t expired. Most movies are video rentals.
- Video Purchase: When you download a video marked as video purchase, you can download the video to your console and keep it as long as you like. You may download the video again (if available) for no charge, and you can also download and view the content on another console as long as you're signed in to Xbox LIVE with the profile you used to purchase the content. Most TV shows are video purchases.
