Microsoft offers free ‘Thriller’ video download today only
The news of Michael Jackson’s untimely death has certainly been the hot topic for the last few days. Most music video television channels (MTV, VH1, etc) have devoted their entire airtime to looping Jackson’s many classic videos. But if you simply can’t get enough of “Thriller” and want to enjoy the full 10-minute version at your leisure, Microsoft has a great solution for you.
Right now, you can download the entire “Thriller” music video via XBox Live onto your XBox 360 console for free. You’ll find it in the XBox Live Marketplace or on the console or you can just queue it up here.
Just hurry, because the free download is available today (Sunday, June 28) only.

- Interactive Video Easter Egg Hunt on YouTube – I’m not a huge fan of interactive YouTube videos, mostly because it takes forever to load each subsequent video clip on my computer, but if it works for you, this Easter Egg hunt is worth checking out. Here it is embedded for your convenience:
