Cool for Americans. I wonder if Canada will ever get something like this?... I doubt it though.

This actually isn't bad compared to how expensive BBC video usually is. You can snag the first season of Torchwood for $39 over Xbox Live in HD compared to $55.99 Amazon on blu-ray ($99.98 MSRP!).
If you are only interested in SD video (and most of the content is only available in SD anyways) it becomes even cheaper. 1st season of Torchwood is only $26 in SD whereas the DVDs are as expensive as the blu-rays, 54.99 on Amazon.
Also, so far, only Top Gear Season 10 is available for purchase in the US on DVD where you can get up to the most recent season on Xbox Live.
