thats great (Y)

but still, I'd love to rebuy an xbox 360, but I think I'll wait until the new upgraded one is released (big drive / hdmi / etc).

Still it is great that southpark is looking into HD seriously, maybe it will be in HD on the tv networks soon.

It was pretty sweet, pretty much everything looks nicer in Hi-def and a cartoon is no exception even tho its more "basic"

I hope this is the first of many for HD content in marketplaces outside the US :D

Free to air or even paid HD content over here is more or less non existent so currently the only other way of getting decent content is via the internet.

Hah isn't anyone else wondering what the point of an HD South Park is? It's a cartoon. :blink: But I still think it's cool that its free. I'll definitely download it anyway if its available for Canadians.

EDIT: I realize now that this was already covered. My bad. lol

:o

Ill remember that

Does this mean, that if I create a US account - I can access the video marketplace? rent movies and such? :o

You would technically need a US credit card and billing address.

Personally, HD isn't that big of a leap from SD for me. If you don't show me back-to-back shots, I'd never be able to tell the difference. This is referring to DVDs and stuff... HD TV is another story.

I can confirm that, it is available on the Xbox Live Marketplace here in Australia now :) so I'd assume it'd be available in other countries as well :happy:

Well, isn't that obvious since there is no difference when it comes to DVD's? 480p is 480p, no matter what the resolution of the screen is.

I meant between the various formats... HD-DVD to DVD, Blu-Ray to DVD... don't see a huge difference unless I see comparison shots. Same with movies on Live.

Wow. You can't see a difference? Wow.

Seriously? HD-DVD and Blu-Ray look way better to me - even noticably better than any HDTV stations I've seen.

Whoa, don't change what I said. I never said I don't see a difference. I said I don't see much of a difference. It's hard to tell unless you have comparison shots or back-to-back. To me, the difference is so minor that it's hardly worth buying an HD-DVD drive or Blu-Ray player.

I agree, after having my HD a week or so, I can safely conclude that SD looks comparatively like ass :p

definitely i barely watch SD TV anymore. I used to watch a lot of Discovery and History channel stuff but now i hardly watch any of that ... it's all prime time shows (24, Prison Break, House, CSIs, etc)

I said I don't see much of a difference between HD-DVD/Blu-Ray and DVD. And unless you guys are watching something from the future, I doubt you do, either, IMO.

And Live HD versus Live SD (same thing, but downloadable):

Yes, you can obviously tell a difference. But I don't see enough of one to warrant buying an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player at this point in time, personally. To each his own.
