I, personally, am waiting for Heroes. I guess the fact that nobody else is downloading Jericoh might be contribuing to it. It seems like the perfect show for the service. I mean, it's kinda geeky. Geeks play video games. Stan Lee made a freaking cameo, for heaven's sake--GIVE ME DOWNLOADABLE HEROES.

I'm betting I wont get this because I am in Canada, right? Ugh. I don't see why this kind of stuff is only for Americans.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. The content is for the USA only because the studios make it that way. Microsoft has to sign contracts to distribute only in certain areas. They are not at fault. If you're upset about this, then call or write the studio involved and tell them they are idiots for not allowing the content for release in other regions.

Isn't HD Kind of a Waste on Cartoons?
Free is nice though.

@9
I have a Hd Channel that plays Cartoons. It depends on the show really. HD just makes the colors more vibrant and a little more smooth looking, yet agian it is on my DLP set. So I don't know what it looks like on other TVs. The Simpsons trailer looks nice in 720p. :)
