Shaun White Snowboarding World Stage trailer is all big air, winding grinds

Almost every post on Joystiq about Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage has been met with cries for a new SSX game, but this launch trailer for Ubisoft's upcoming game actually does a good job of mimicking the EA series' over-the-top X-TREME thrills. Sure, there's manufactured virtual pals to laugh at and stereotypical caricatures of foreigners from countries you never bothered to learn about in there, but the warm, nougety center of snowboarding goodness seems warm and inviting enough.

Also, what's with that logo? Why is Shaun White's hair the dot on the "i?" If we were him, we'd try to steer as far away from being associated with that other red-headed dude as possible. We'd also be too rich to blog for you people.

GOTY anyone?

Did anyone end up buying this game at Amazon.com? I did and then realized there was a bonus DVD exclusive to Target that came with it.

I was bummed, but apparently, a lot of the footage from the DVD can be seen here:

That's funny about Shaun White's hair being the dot on the "i." Hadn't noticed that before.

I didn't get a copy yet, but think I'll go to Target to get that bonus DVD. That behind the scenes footage looked cool. I'd like to see more.
