The Daily Show...Xbox Live

You can now enjoy Comedy Central's hit shows: The Daily Show and Colbert Report on Xbox Live. The episodes will be available within 24 hours of them airing on Comedy Central. I am not sure how much the pocket damage will be, but Xbox Live Marketplace will be competing with iTunes so maybe around the $2.00 per episode. This deal might bring Dave Chappelle back.......(wishful thinking)... ehh

Jackass...on PSP

Are Johnny Knoxville and Stevo-O coming to PSP? Yep, according to PSP-Spot jackass will be a collection of mini-games based on stunts from the show. In the final game there will be more than 40 stunts. That should be interesting to play, imagine rolling Stevo-O down a hill inside a trash bin. I know this game might be rated "Z" if z exist on the rating scale used for games. 'Everyone seems to be scared of men in G-strings doing crazy stunts'.
