How does zune hd marketplace renting work?

1 comment


I want to know how the renting process for the zune hd marketplace works. Is it free?Do I pay a fine for "returning it late?" I want to know how it works.

Once you buy the movie from the marketplace you download it. You get to keep it for seven days, and then after that it will kind of deactivate itself, and even if you select it, you will not be able to view it, and you half to delete it (you don’t necessarily have to, but why would you want to keep it there if you can’t watch it?). You also have 24 hours from the time that you first view the movie. For example, if i rented a movie today at 6:30, it would deactivate the following day, at 6:30. It is not free. You have to pay points to download it. It’s nothing like blockbuster.

    I have a Zune HD, and I’ve rented movies before. It’s just like on demand with your cable company.
