South Park episodes from seasons 11 and 12 are now available for purchase from the US Xbox Live Video Marketplace in both standard and high definition, costing 160 and 240 each, respectively.

Those who didn't get a chance to watch "Canada on Strike" should, nay, are required to see that episode. See for yourself.

TNA Wrestling and The Weinstein Company are two new partners in the Xbox Live Video Marketplace. Gamerscore blog soulless press release site states that 13 "unforgettable" pay-per-view TNA specials of oiled-up men slamming against each other from 2008 will be available, along with The Weinstein Company's Vicky Cristina Barcelona and guaranteed best-seller among 12-year-old boys who hijack their parents credit card, Zack and Miri Make a Porno. The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films will also release 15 titles soon, including Extreme Movie, Fanboys, and Janky Promoters.

In addition, Microsoft noted that since the NXE launched, the sales pace of video downloads has doubled. That's great, just let us keep our Netflix and no one gets hurt.

"Netflix is a great deal in the US," says Thompson, who believes that the Live service has to evolve "in different territories at different speeds." Though uncertain as to what the future holds for each of those territories, he adds, "We're concentrating on delivering the services we've got and bolstering the content we've got."

We're guessing the addition of 30 new Universal movies to Europe's XBVM is part of Microsoft's exhaustive efforts. Sorry, Europe, looks like you'll be Netflix-less for a while. Think of it as a boon to productivity! You're helping to save the economy for the rest of us!

Finally making its way over to the UK, NBC Universal films can now be enjoyed by one and all in the region via Xbox Live. Announced at a London event by UK Head of Xbox Neil Thompson, gamers in the UK will find Universal Pictures films are already available on the Xbox Live Video Marketplace, with such notable classics as Animal House, Scarface, Cheech and Chong's Next Movie, and Shaun of the Dead leading the charge. As you likely already know, the U.S. has had access to NBC Universal films for some time now, so it's nice to see the UK finally catch up to us.

Hacking Netflix posted a screen grab of said survey, which asks subscribers if paying an additional $9.99 per month would be worth receiving HBO original series, including Entourage, Sex and the City, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, as well as HBO original movies on top of the 12,000+ pieces of instant view content already available.

We'll admit, our Xbox 360's Netflix instant queue is getting stale, but paying $10 on top of the cost of our Netflix subscription to watch HBO content is bit too rich for our liking. Especially during these lovely economic times.

We're sure the promotion has something to do with the fact that the NXE-enabled Netflix streaming feature is available on the 360. We're almost positive.

To enter the giveaway, simply sign up for Netflix and download the registration gamer picture off the Marketplace. Only one winner will be selected to take home the home theater prize, but even "losers" will have something to smile about: They will be subscribers to a great content streaming service.

One of the greatest movies of 2008 (possibly EVER!) is now available for rental off the U.S. Xbox Live Video Marketplace. Pixar's Wall-E and all his cute, innocent and robot'ish charm can be rented in standard definition for 320 Microsoft points or in high definition for the always expensive price of 480 points. Spendy, but totally worth the cash.

And for the seven folks who have yet to see it, be sure to check out The Dark Knight, which is also available for rental off the XBVM. "Let's put a smile on that face!"

If you happen to be one of three people in the world who have yet the watch "The Dark Knight," here is your chance. Microsoft has added the critically acclaimed film to its popular online movie rental service. Available in both high definition and standard definition, at 480MS and 320MS points respectively, The Dark Knight continues the story of The Batman and his quest to rid Gotham City of its seedy criminal underbelly. With the help of District Attorney Harvey Dent and Lieutenant Jim Gordon, The Batman faces his greatest threat of all, a ruthless murderer known only as The Joker. Watch this one, again and again.

Update: Reader DBoyFlex also adds a few Dark Knight treats are available. Check it out for a new regular theme and some video content.

In preparation for the Fall release of the Netflix streaming enabled New Xbox Experience, Netflix just announced that they're adding additional content to their streaming library including a boatload of content from Starz.

Come this Fall, Netflix will add an additional 2,500 pieces of content for streaming (that's 30,000 pieces of content in total), including movies from Starz Play like Spider-Man 3, Ratatouille, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Superbad, and No Country for Old Men. You'll need an unlimited subscription plan to have access to all the Netflix goodies when the NXE releases and, just to whet your appetite, 1,000 hunks of new content are available TODAY with the other 1,500 being added by the time the NXE launches.

Somehow slipping through our extensive E3 2008 coverage (bad X3F, bad!) was an announcement that came during Microsoft's conference informing us that NBC/Universal were just added to the U.S. Xbox Live Video Marketplace. This new partnership brings hit NBC, Sci-Fi Channel and USA Network shows to the XBVM including various SD/HD episodes from TV shows like The Office, Heroes, 30 Rock, Scrubs, SNL and more. This news may not be as exciting as the Netflix announcement, but we're sure those diehard Heroes fans would probably beg to differ on that point.

We aren't going to beat around any bushes with this edition of Video Marketplace Weekly. The new release pickings are so slim, they're semi transparent and don't actually warrant the use of the word "they". "The" is a more appropriate term, because the only new release this week is Batman: Gotham Knight. Which, seeing that we're in a very Batman state of mind, isn't all that bad of a release. And in HD, who could go wrong? Hit the break to be not at all surprised by all the new video release (singular) you'll be treated to.

It's a holiday weekend where we're sure most of you will be out and about, enjoying the sunshine and warm Summer weather. But not all of you will. We know there's a select few (okay, about 76% of you) who will want to stay indoors and maybe rent a new movie release off the Video Marketplace. And really, that's not that bad of an idea. It's such a reasonable idea, that we've compiled a list of all the past week's new U.S. XBVM movie releases even though it isn't much of a list. There's actually only three releases this week which is sort of a bummer. But they're new new releases, so that kind of makes up for it. We'll keep you in suspense until you make it to the break, but we'll leave you with one final warning message. Do not, under any circumstances, rent this week's "Alternate Ending" movie. Stick with the original. Alternate endings only leave room for disappointment, sadness and anger.

The entire Super Friends crew is coming to an Xbox Live Marketplace near you ... that is if you live in the States. Microsoft and DC Comics have partnered to launch a new DC Comics network onto the XBLM, allowing gamers to purchase their favorite DC Comics based television shows. So far, they've committed to releasing episodes of Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Superman: The Fleischer Cartoons, Super Friends, The Adventures of Batman and Aquaman as well as DC based 360 theme and gamer picture downloads. Exciting stuff, especially when you've had nothing but Dark Knight on the mind for the past few months.

Hey fanboys, did you know that we're smack dab in the middle of a SpongeBob SquarePants Live Weekend? We were oblivious to that fact until about twenty minutes ago when a pink jellyfish knocked on our door and told us the news. No joke either, jellyfish really do talk if you're willing to listen. So, with it being a SpongeBob Live Weekend, we're encouraged to download a the free episode "Blackened Sponge / Mermaid Man vs. SpongeBob" off the XBVM, purchase other episodes, try the trial of SpongeBob SquarePants Underpants Slam!, purchase new spongy gamer pictures / themes and give the retail SpongeBob games a whirl. For those who can't stand SpongeBob, his laugh or the mind control he has on tweens, then feel free to vent in the comments section. Personally, we don't mind him.

We do it because we care about you and your movie rental habits. And this week's new releases are ... well, nothing overly special, but they are new and that has to mean something.

We're of course talking about the legendary pirates versus ninjas rivalry where new XBVM release Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest will represent the pirates team and the classic (and free) rental Ninja Hunter will represent team ninja. Who will win? We aren't sure, but whatever the outcome is we all should take comfort in knowing that ninjas are way cooler than those smelly pirates.

This past week, the U.S. Video Marketplace has been on fire and should put any anti-XBVM fanboy's whining to rest. For at least a week anyway. The reason we say this is because there have been numerous super new and rather enjoyable movie releases to the Marketplace these past seven days, including National Treasure 2, Semi-Pro, South Park Imaginationland and this fanboy's personal favorite, Cloverfield. There's a stellar list of new releases to check out after the break, so get checking and queue up some movie rentals tonight.

During the conference, Netflix management mentioned interest in "internet-enabled video game consoles" which Pachter believes is not only a hint that Microsoft and Netflix will partner, but that it's actually a good move for both companies. "The competitive advantage of such an alliance is clear: Netflix customers who are Xbox Live members will have the ability to stream online content through their Xbox 360s directly to their televisions" says Pachter. "The ability to do so is available without the Xbox 360, but requires a measure of technological sophistication and a high tolerance for failure." Can you say IN-TER-EST-ING?

We've finally gotten our act together and are bringing you this very Friday edition of Video Marketplace Weekly to get you in the mood for a weekend full of lazy XBVM movie rentals. Usually we talk a quick and dirty recap about what new movies became available this past week, but this time there really is no need. There isn't a need because one movie rental is all you should care about. There Will Be Blood. This film is a masterpiece, a Daniel Day Lewis epic and true actor's acting movie that will knock you down only to stand you back up and knock you over once again. There Will Be Blood is a must see. And know that you're getting your downloading money's worth too, because the HD version clocks in at a ginormous 7.2GB in file size, where every MB is worth the wait. Go. Rent. Now.

Microsoft recently announced that G4 TV has added a part of their television lineup to the U.S. Video Marketplace, of which two shows are already available for purchase. G4's animated series Code Monkeys, snowboarding reality show The Block and daily tech news show Attack of the Show (sorry, no X-Play) are all up for purchase for 160 Microsoft points each. Though, for whatever reason, Attack of the Show is currently missing in action. Also, as an introductory promotion, G4 is offering up Code Monkeys' "Dave's Got Boobs" episode for free, so grab the 242MB episode if you're interested.

By golly we have another Video Marketplace Weekly first, because today is the first time ever in the Video Marketplace Weekly feature's existence that it is making its debut on a Sunday. Why a Sunday? Well, we could feed you a list of made up excuses, but we think our relationship is at a point where we can be 100% honest with eachother. The reason is very simple ... we forgot. Shame on us! Shame! Shame! Shame! But look on the bright side, you still get a complete and comprehensive list of new U.S. movie releases to the XBVM albeit a day or two late. Enjoy, be happy and maybe rent a new movie release off the Marketplace this lovely Sunday evening.

Last week's massive list of new Xbox Video Marketplace releases was best described as massive, though the amount of actual good movies wasn't there. But this week it's a total flip flop. This week's U.S. XBVM only received seven new releases, but one of them is Sweeney Todd. A Johnny Depp movie, which means we whole heartily approve. Heck, this week there's even National Treasure for cheap, which too is a good movie (though there isn't an HD rental option). Check the list of new releases after the break, because even though the list is slim, you may find something you enjoy.

We're going to be honest with you, because that's what we expect you expect from us. This week's list of new U.S. Video Marketplace releases is massive which results in this edition of Video Marketplace Weekly being massive as well. Almost too big. There are new movie rentals that range from Paris Hilton's The Hottie and the Nottie to old-school Michael J. Fox Teen Wolf to The Blue Collar Comedy Tour. There's absolutely no way we can group or categorize the randomness and quantity of new XBVM releases this week. Take a look after the break for a list of this week's new XBVM releases which, we must say one more time, is massively massive.

Spring is finally springing and that means rain, rain and even more rain. It's just what happens this time of year kids. That's why this edition of Video Marketplace Weekly is so important, because if rain ends up spoiling your normally fun filled outdoor activities, you know there's always a freshly baked movie waiting for you to rent off the Video Marketplace. And even though this week's releases aren't all that new or exciting (except for The Kite Runner), we're sure you can find something in the XBVM catalog. Stay dry, stay indoors and spend those points.

Making its way back to its normal Friday time slot is yet another Video Marketplace Weekly and this week we have a bunch of new movie goodness. That is if you enjoy toxic horror movies or comedic gold, because Toxic Avenger Part II and III as well as Toxic Crusaders: The Movie released to the U.S. Video Marketplace. Also, the Steve Carell comedy Dan in Real Life released which, we'll admit, has to feature one of our favorite movie covers. Probably because we like pancakes and listening to them as if they were a bowl of Rice Krispies. Anyway, make you way to the break to digest this week's U.S. Video Marketplace new releases.

In news that's heavily saturated in rumor oil (trans fat free though, don't worry) and is probably a huge stretch even for a rumor, Netflix recently announced that they've entered into three new partnerships that will "let subscribers watch films streamed directly from the Web to TVs". Three new partnerships that are all said to be with major companies. Three new partnerships that they are keeping secret and will announce soon. You see where we're going with this?

It has been no secret that Netflix has been kicking around the idea of using the Xbox 360 to grow its subscription service and their announcement of three new partnerships could ultimately lead to Microsoft being one. But, like we said, this is a huge stretch. Microsoft already has a lot invested in the current Video Marketplace setup and the addition of Netflix would throw a huge wrench into things. That is unless there's piles of cash to be made ... so, maybe?

It's time for another installment of Video Marketplace Weekly and we have a fun fact: Did you know there has been only two editions of Video Marketplace Weekly that have appeared on Saturday, with one of them being today? Did you also know that when Video Marketplace weekly appears on Saturday instead of its normal Friday time slot, it's usually due to the writer forgetting totally about it? It's interesting and true.

This week, we'll keep the wordage down to a minimum, because all you really need to know is that I Am Legend is on the Marketplace and in juicy HD glory. We think you'll agree that killing zombie-vampires will never look so good. But there are other new video rental gems as well, so we advise taking a jump towards the break to read about all eleven of them. Sound like a plan? Good. Head towards the break as soon as you can.

Remember when you were a wee little guy, getting up early on Saturday morning and pouring a bowl a cereal all to catch the entire three hour block of Saturday morning cartoons? Those were good times. And if the childhood experience you just envisioned took place sometime during the mid 1980s, we bet your cartoon viewing habits probably included feline-tastic Voltron. The same cartoon that's now available on the U.S. Video Marketplace where, for a limited time, you can download the very first SD episode of Voltron for free! So, re-live your childhood, pour some Fruity Pebbles, plunk down on the couch and watch some Voltron.

Wow, this came out of nowhere. U.S. Xbox.com users will notice a newly revamped Video Marketplace section and no, it isn't just a new coat of paint. It's a complete re-construction of Xbox.com's XBVM section that actually makes it useful. W00t!

We advise jumping right in, so point your browser to Xbox.com's XBVM area and prepare to be amazed. You can now browse the entire list of movie rentals that are available, search by title, download rank, rating or just for movies that are available in HD. Once you find a movie, you'll now be able to read its synopsis, run time, file size, pricing and more. But that's not it. All that functionality is available for television content as well with the added bonus of browsing each show and each season. They even added a coming attractions section to preview upcoming XBVM content. The amount of information available is amazing! It's also a nice compliment to our Video Marketplace Weekly feature. A big high five goes out to Microsoft for getting this up and running.

We know how much you love your Friday edition of Video Marketplace Weekly, but this Saturday edition is just as filling, satisfying and all with 40% less sodium. Your heart with thank you. And this week the U.S. Video Marketplace gets a rather solid lineup with movies like The Exorcist, Raging Bull and the semi-new flick Into The Wild. Which is one of those award movies that carries the "love it" or "hate it" recommendation from friends.

Microsoft and the Safran Digital Group have just settled on a deal that'll have Safran creating six short running series' that'll premiere on the Xbox Live Video Marketplace sometime this Summer. Safran, who we're told is a new web production company, will more than likely create content targeted towards the 18-34 demographic with media in the horror, comedy and science-fiction genres. Details are still extremely light as we are yet to hear whether the content will be available worldwide, distributed for free or advertiser driven. And, if by chance, the video shorts end up being free and entertaining, we'll make Safran an honorary member of our elite cool kids club.

It's a holiday weekend and one would think that our U.S. Video Marketplace would receive some new Easter-themed movies for rent. But, alas, this edition of Video Marketplace Weekly has no such thing and no Easter cheer will be spread. Instead, movies like Malibu's Most Wanted, Robocop and Poltergeist II will have to fill your Easter weekend movie rental itch and that's just how it has to be.

Ahh yes, the 80s. When neon colors ruled fashion, TMNT were teh hawtness, hairstyles defied gravity and the movies were all so simple. And this week, Video Marketplace Weekly is taking you back twenty some years to those times with the release of a handful of 80s flicks. Movies including the Keaton edition of Batman, Bull Durham, Purple Rain, A Fish Called Wanda and Back to School. But you don't have worry. We know there are a select few of you out there who don't embrace the awesomeness that was the 80s, so for you, there are also newer releases like March of the Penguins and Fierce People. No matter what your tastes, hopefully you find something rental worthy tonight after browsing this week's XBVM releases which we conveniently outlined after the break.
