Microsoft struck a deal with 20th Century Fox that’s giving them the rights to sell the first two seasons of Family Guy on the Xbox 360’s Video Marketplace.
The shows will be available starting Monday for 160 MS Points each ($2 USD). Sorry non US residents, but still no Video Marketplace for you.
I’m still not happy with the pricing for TV shows in the Video Marketplace. Other services like iTunes offer season pass options, so why is there nothing like this on the XBL Marketplace? To put in perspective, you can buy the Family Guy Volume 1 DVD collection from Amazon for $35. There are 29 episodes included here, which is the first 2 seasons. Those episodes, if purchased on the Video Marketplace, will run you $58. Makes absolutely no sense to me. But hey, I’m sure they’ll sell like hotcakes since people will buy anything these days.

What a rip off!! All of this Xbox360 downloadable content is a total F’n rip-off! Ahh good ol PC. Download all the seasons of F-Guy and almost any GREAT movie (not these sh!tty “360Marketplace” movies)…..in DVD quality…….for FREE.
“Here’s 120gigs to load up on this overpriced sh!t we’re pushing on you…you know you want it…please take off your pants and bend over”….and when they’re done, you’ll realize they’ve taken your wallet too.

The show has never been created in HD. The episodes on the Video Marketplace are NOT in HD.

Personally I’ve been a Family Guy fan forever, thus making seasons of the show as early as these useless considering I’ve seen them all. But if you haven’t seen them all then go blow your wad on some Family Guy people. Fox realllyy must be rolling in dough.
