South Park go HD on Xbox Live

Opinion and Analysis

Time to have "authority respected" on Xbox Live as Comedy Central offer the first-ever high definition episode of South Park as a free download.

“Good Times With Weapons” is the name of the kick-off episode for series 11 of the Peabody Award-winning irreverent animation series South Park.

Members of the Xbox Live system will be able to grab the episode from Marketplace free as of tomorrow (for two weeks), or with any Xbox 360 console or HD DVD drive from March 20 through to April 3 from the North American chain Best Buy.

One has to wonder if going high definition will make much difference to the viewing quality of the truly low-res depicted Cartman, Stan, Kyle and co.  It is a gimmick that many will find hard to pass up.

"South Park” seasons five through nine as well as the full length movie “South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut”  are currently available to lucky members of the Xbox Live service.
