What if you had an entire video store right in your home, where every video has Blu-ray quality and plays instantly? That's the promise of XStreamHD, an entertainment system that just gained a boatload of credibility by signing its first Hollywood studio, Lionsgate. In this exclusive preview, we examine how close XStreamHD is to reality.
For this preview, I traveled to the XStreamHD headquarters just outside Washington, D.C., at the company's expense. They showed me the system as it stands today, and it's still in beta form. That means I won't write a full review because it's not ready for market yet, but I'll give you my impressions of how it's working so far. When will the finished system be working? XStreamHD says end of summer.
At press time, the company revealed another key piece of info: It's signed a distribution deal with Hollywood studio Lionsgate. The first of numerous studios XStreamHD hopes to have on board for its late September launch, Lionsgate promises to offer up its latest HD releases and 12,000-movie back catalog on the XStreamHD service.
