Europe Gets South Park HD Episode After All
South Park. High definition. Free. Yay!
SPOnG informed you yesterday that a South Park HD episode - 'Good Times With Weapons' - was heading to Xbox Live Marketplace in America today courtesy of Comedy Central.
Well, we’re now glad to report that this free-to-download South Park Episode is also coming to all European countries with Xbox Live. It weighs in at 1013.56Mb.
"Well, you made your voice heard and we've listened - the South park episode will now be available in ALL European countries with Live! We want to send our apologies for the disappointment the original announcement caused amongst the European community but hope that making the episode available helps to ease that disappointment", Microsoft has said, in a kind of unofficial capacity via the ‘semi-official’ Aceybongo’s blog.
Aceybongo adds, “As for the reason for the content not being made available from the start, there's a load of quite dull and long-winded reasons why sometimes we can't always offer content in every region worldwide. It's legal stuff mostly, and sometimes language barriers and so on…Point here is that we have managed to make the content available in Europe, so thanks for your patience - but please do remember that sometimes there are very strong reasons why we simply CANNOT offer certain pieces of content in certain areas.
“From my point of view, I think it's great that the community made its voice heard on this through Major Nelson and forums across the internet. I know it's not the best way to show it (I'd rather the content was just available to all of Europe in the first place), but this is proof that we can and do act on the wishes of the community. I know Major Nelson in particular has been instrumental in helping this decision being made, as well as a load of people doing lots of work behind the scenes. So, basically, keep telling us what you think - and keep doing it with passion!”
