Pros, Joes, crazy Ivans head to Video Marketplace

Video releases for the week include ER, TNA: Impact, and funny girl Sarah Silverman.

The videos keep pouring onto Xbox Live Video Marketplace, and Xbox Live director of programming Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb posted details on this week's releases on his blog. While only one new movie is hitting Xbox Live, the week offers a few free episodes of new TV shows and two seasons of one of the most popular hospital dramas of all time.

While gamers wait for Midway's upcoming game based on the TNA wrestling property, they can catch up on all the suplexes, flying elbows, and clotheslines of season one and four episodes of season two of TNA: Impact. For a different show full of fake injuries, Xbox 360 owners can also download the first two seasons of ER.

While the above will cost gamers a few bucks, Video Marketplace is also offering a few free downloads this weekend. Episode one of season two of Spike TV's Pros vs. Joes and the series premiere of Comedy Central's The Sarah Silverman Program (on Marketplace tomorrow) will be free to download through Monday.

Gamers old enough to remember that Tom Clancy wasn't always just about Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, and Rainbow Six can rent the week's sole movie offering, The Hunt for Red October. And for music buffs, this week's music artist of the month is Good Charlotte, who is represented with a video and making-of-the-video featurette for "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl."

    Good Charlotte as artist of the month, that is not cool, especially since Xbox is sponsoring a tour by the infinitely better Billy Talent at the moment.

    I have a friend who calls Good Charlotte "bad Greenday." I really don't think that's fair...



    ...to Greenday. Even at their worst, they're not as bad as Good Charlotte.

    Everyone take notice: this is the first and only time Sean Connery and Good Charlotte will appear together in a news story. Let's keep it that way, we don't want to tarnish a legend, though Sir Connery is doing a bit of that himself with movies like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

    Good Charlotte is horrible... just sugary pap from the Corporation's fist right into the back of your throat.

    That being said, Sean Connery FTW... speaking of which, any chance we'll get some Bond up there? Little 007 action?

    I'll take the free episodes on principle, but Sarah Silverman is not the slightest bit funny. I think shes a loser but I'm of the morally strong so I'll take it and quickly delete. Glad to see the market place expanding though.

    I'd like more variety with the music section. All I ever see being offered up is Pop/Top40 stuff. Can we get some other genres please! Hip Hop, Metal, Alternative, etc etc etc.

    This is news about game consoles... Zero_Beat, just because you're a Sony fanboy doesn't mean the rest of us don't wanna hear what might be coming over to the 360 Marketplace. They reported this like how they reported the news and weather channels for the Wii. I'm sure GameSpot will start reporting the new content stuff Sony releases on their Sony Online Store when they get their act together, and I'm also sure you won't be complaining then... fanboys are stupid...
