South Park HD hits Marketplace for free

Microsoft and Viacom have teamed up to offer Xbox Live subscribers the first ever high definition episode of South Park.

According to Wired News, Xbox Live members in the US will be able to download the episode, Good Times With Weapons, for free from March 6 exclusively on Marketplace. Good news if you've got a US Xbox 360 but we're still waiting for this whole TV download service to kick in over here.

It looks like MS is pushing its HD DVD player too across the pond too, as US retailers are offering special deals on the 360 add-on. Best Buy will give away a free HD-DVD disc featuring the South Park episode with any purchase of Xbox 360 or the HD-DVD add-on for two weeks at the end of March.
