Tesco's Blinkbox movie player is a hit with Xbox 360 owners
Xbox 360 owners have downloaded 200,000 movies from Tesco’s online video service since it was extended to the console a month ago.
Blinkbox, launched on 2 December, gives Clubcard shoppers a digital version of selected new releases when they buy the DVD or Blu-ray edition. From launch, films could be accessed via a computer, PS3 or smart TV but the line-up has been extended to include iPad and Xbox.
Titles have been added to the Blinkbox service as they have been released.

It's crap, people used the service to get their five pounds free credit to see some free films, but I rated this the worst Xbox App ever because you can't just pick a movie and watch it - it relies on picking a film from a poorly designed selection area, saving the film for later, login to your nearby PC, go to Blinkbox on the web, login to that, top up your account, go to your account and find your saved movies, hit rent now and then go back to your Xbox console...
How rubbish is that! It benefits current Blinkbox suscribers by giving them an additional streaming option, but totally awful for anyone who had never used the service before - they'll stick to Zune, Netflix or Lovefilm
