South Park: Free and HD on Xbox 360

cartman_ass.jpgI love my Xbox 360 (with video download service) more and more each day. Tomorrow, South Park will be available in HD and for free (two weeks only). While 16:9 HD cartoons won’t change my life, it’s pretty cool to see high def content finding alternate avenues onto our televisions. (Note to Comedy Central: Not only do I not need to see the Sarah Silverman Program in HD, I don’t need to see it at all.)

I still have a few gripes with the Video Marketplace, and would like to see better navigation as the catalog grows and generally less advertising within the Xbox GUI. As long as I’m requesting features, instead of buying a Wii… how about Microsoft hook me up with a motion-sensing controller and associated games (in HD – take that Nintendo!). If they can’t deliver in the next few weeks, I’ll just have to pick up Guitar Hero II.

  1. It’s too late for a motion-sensitive controller on the Xbox 360. There’s 10 million of them out there already, so developers can’t assume players have it. And players have to have games that will make them want to buy the controller.

    Given short development schedules and budgets, they’ll simply skip support for motion-sensitivity altogether.

  2. If the Sarah Silverman show were available in HD on XBLM for free, I’d order it.
    Incidentally, Guitar Hero 2 is worth a purchase. I couldn’t wait for the 360 version and had to get the PS2 one to hold me over.

  3. We don’t want a motion sensor controller. I’ve got a 360 and a Wii. I love ’em both. I love the Wii because it is fun (but my wrist gets tired after awhile). The novalty is wearing off for me. I love my 360 because it kicks ass.
