Xbox Video, Microsoft’s video rental and download service, has finally found a home on Windows Phone 8. Anything you’ve already purchased through the service can now be streamed or downloaded to your WP8 device, provided you have the app installed. You can also buy or rent content directly from the app itself. This feature was originally built into Windows Phone 7, but Microsoft pulled it for WP8, so it’s nice to see it back in the form of a standalone app.
