    ...you could just buy them on DVD.

    Apparently, the Ghost in the Shell episodes, for example, would cost $4 a piece.
    Hmm, let's see...I recently got the entire second season box set from rightstuf.com for like $70. $4x26 episodes = $104 to buy the series on XBL. Plus mine are on DVD, so I can play them, you know, just about anywhere (with or without breaking the encryption).

    Also, like other people said, "Same crap you can see on TV anyways."
