We're all still reeling from the passing of the King of Pop, but fortunately, Microsoft's got a nice (albeit brief) memorial for
Michael Jackson up on Xbox Live. This weekend only, the Video Marketplace is giving away the full, ten-minute version of
MJ's classic "Thriller" music video for your viewing pleasure. Yep, the greatest music video of all time is free to download until the end of the day today.
It's a nice gesture -- but why not just make
the video permanently free? We're not sure these wounds will heal in such a short period of time.
Update: Looks like they've already take the deal down. If you don't feel like paying
two dollars to watch a music video (and you shouldn't), you can just
watch it on YouTube for free.
