Microsoft is reportedly in talks with the BBC to license its content for the European Video Marketplace service on Xbox Live.

Looks like a good idea, it might prove more popular that the bbc iplayer.

price?

This will be an alternative to DVD.. not the iplayer or streaming. There is another IPTV streaming/PVR thing that is coming to the 360.. but that's separate. It will also require a subscription.
The BBC are meant to be coming to the itunes store also. So it's more a case of offering download content to buy from different stores... like real shops.
If the prices are reasonable and HD stuff is up for buy/rent as well then it'll be pretty cool.
I think the 360 marketplace is best for rental's. I can see HD rentals being really popular.

Will be expensive, have you seen the price of poor quality SD music videos on the market place? I would not buy any film donwloads from live because I can not use anywhere else. You are limited to MS propriety Hard drive which sucks like horse s**t
