Good thing the screen is nowhere near HD, otherwise that tiny 32GB would be filled with less than two small movies.

This still does not have any WOW factor for me to sit up and take notice.
Microsoft still has a long way to go before they can get me on board.

I think a new codec will be released that will be based on mkv that will be able to store hd at much lower sizes.
Edit:
After looking at the compression ratios http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
You could get a 720p movie in at 9gb now with mkv compression level 4

Ok, 3 movies with compression...still not exactly remarkable for the "high end" version.

Is it possible to see the screen yet? Not with my eyes.. I think the best device for watching movies on trains and planes has to be the psp.
