Wow. If Facebook can manage to get HD content up for that low of a price, this may be a huge coup for them. At three dollars for a two-day rental, this service would already be half the price of what Microsoft charges for similar rental content on the Xbox 360 (at only 720p, no less).<p>I do have a point of contention with the article though as the author seems to think that most college students aren't crafty enough to connect their laptops to their televisions to watch the streaming HD content there. Preposterous!
