From today you can download an episode of South Park entitled “Good Times With Weapons”, for free from the Xbox Live Marketplace. The episode is in high definition (720p), not bad if you ask me. Hopefully more freebies will be appearing on the Marketplace in the future.

If you own it, put the disc in, try it.
