As mentioned earlier, the free South Park episode in full HD glory was released to the XBLM today. But we have a little surprise for our European friends overseas. Major Nelson took it upon himself to send the marketing team your complaints about the free episode not being available to all of Europe. And they listened. AceyBongo posted a blog to tell everyone that not only Belgium and the Netherlands will receive it, but ALL of Europe! Yup, your complaining paid off. As it stands, the US, Canada, all of Europe, and a few Asian territories will get the free download. Be sure to note that some countries in Europe may not be able to download the episode right away due to the change in plans, but be assured it is coming. So, enjoy your free episode of South Park ... you European folks earned it.

Just a note, you can download the episode for free in HD and play it on a non-HDTV with no charge. Even though it shows the regular one for 160PTs. Just download HD and it'll play.

Freakin' sweet!
I know it's *only* South Park, but hopefully this is a good first step to getting a proper Video Marketplace in other territories

I just started downloading the HD one then cancelled it, and re-downloaded the SD one. Because I don't have a HD tv, and it downloaded faster in SD because of a smaller file.

In Australia too?! Holy crap.
Oh, and if you have any, get some Japanese friends to watch the "Let's Fighting Love" song. I had them translate the bits I don't understand (I know some Japanese, but not a lot of the Kanji they used, etc etc.) and the thing's bloody great.
On a related note, "Baka Chin Chin" is a great conversation starter in Japan.
