  South Park in HD? Lol, its a cartoon, a badly animated one. Giving SP HD is pointless. (Not bashing the show, I love SP.)

  Well they announced it on "The Feed" that it would be the anime episode where they're dressed up as ninjas. Boy I'm a sucka for freebies. Thank you XBL

  Whilst I agree with the "it's a cartoon and you can't really see the pores on their face" argument, it is definitely crystal clear and just soooo pretty to watch...
  Plus being free is a big bonus!
