I fail to see what the purpose is releasing this in HD when animation is so simple that it's utterly pointless. I understand nice 3d, but this.. just trying to bang a few more bucks for Blu-ray version that will look no better then the regular broadcast. But I guess there are suckers who will buy this.
I can understand the thinking behind that, but you really do have to see it in HD to get a grasp on how fantastic it looks. 2D animation looks awesome in HD & South Park is no exception. The difference in quality really is night & day.
Bozster, South Park does look better in HD, as you would know if you saw the movie. The higher res means more texture in the characters there is finer detail in the edges with no combing due to de-interlacing. Easily discernable differences.
Whether this is sufficient to justify purchasing the HD version is strictly a question of how much you love the show. Personally I don't see a reason for double dipping if you own a set already in SD but there is no question of the difference in quality.

I agree, I also haven't had a single reason to buy an HDTV or BR player yet, and I never will.
