RvB Season 1 - now for sale on Marketplace
Hmm... I'm not sure I like where this is going, but according to Major Nelson's blog, the first five episodes of Red vs Blue (yes, Season 1) are now available for download on Xbox Live Marketplace - for a buck a pop. (Before you get totally bent out of shape about this: in theory, these are DVD quality (they're definitely higher bitrate than the online versions), and the full season DVDs
cost $20 for about 20 episodes - roughly a buck a pop. Also, though this is just temporary, the movies are NOT available on the RvB website, even to sponsors; I'm assuming that's due to the recent maintenance/server upgrades, and not some nefarious plan to make people buy the content on XBL.) The current crop of comments on Major Nelson's blog suggest that people think the price is too high for something that's available for free (usually) on the web, and in fact is several years old. Microsoft might be pushing too hard for paid downloadable content? Maybe. Thanks, darthbob. (Louis Wu 15:39:28 UTC)
