Michael Jackson is a great dancer and artist. He is mentally fucked up now, probably due to his lack of a childhood, but his skills are undeniable.

Michael Jackson rocks, but 200 points a video? Just buy one of his DVDs.

He is still the King of Pop no matter how weird he gets. I just hope he gets less weird. =P

His music never gets old. And most of his videos are damn good as well.

Thriller may very well be the biggest video of all time. So there.

Its funny how today's youths really have no idea of how HUGE Michael Jackson was back then. There hasn't been anyone close to being as big since. Yeah, he was like that. Waaaaay back then ...

MJ fan in the house here...

You know, you might not like him, or you might believe everything you hear from biased media outlets regarding his trial (instead of the FACTS of the case), and you might not like his music, but at least respect the fact that he's a great artist.

Whilst I spent my formative years worshipping the gloved one like a latter day Jesus and still "feel the magic" when I see him perform I admit that the timing of this is really bewildering...I can only think that...MS think...that there's alot of retro value here with people who grew up in the 80's. I think they ignore the fact that unless you're a completist, you already have these videos in some form or other if you're a fan so what's the point?

Hmm Michael Jackson...now while I do enjoy his Thriller album someone up there is a little late to the party. I bet the person that thought this up just bought the 25th anniversary of Thriller and thought everyone should relive that age.

Come on, boys. Who doesn't like Michael Jackson when he's in his prime? He was awesome back then.

BTW, This reminds me of the recent Britains Got Talent:

@jigglypoofs: You summed it up: "UK Xbox Video Marketplace: Why Bother?"; it's just like Microsoft to take what should/is free and charge for it instead of pitching us some interesting new content and a reasonable price.

Michael Jackson on Xbox Live. Great stuff! Now put the Moonwalker arcade game on XBLA.

I agree with CHU BOI about Smooth Criminal being the best one.

gamerSMB — Fri, 02 May 2008 07:47:15 MDT

Its probably not in HD becuase the videos obviously weren't filmed in HD so whats the point upscaling them and having more data to download when the 360 upscales SD content automatically.

CHU BOI — Fri, 02 May 2008 06:41:29 MDT

No HD? Boo. But still that is fuckin' sweet. No, really. Michael Jackson had the sickest videos ever. You just don't get choreography like that anymore; nowadays everyone just shakes around like a chicken with its head cut off and its called "sick dancing" (*cough* Black Eyed Peas *couch*). I stopped taking music videos seriously after the 90's. He might (might) touch children at night and all, but respect the originator. Too bad they're missing his best one, Smooth Criminal.

Consider me officially jealous. And sorry to be the one MJ defender everyone, there's always one. Lol

jigglypoofs — Fri, 02 May 2008 06:38:36 MDT

oh come on....Thriller is the best music video in the world.

I would buy it if it was in HD, it's on the music channels all the time so why bother charging for SD?

It's because Michael Jackson is sixth in the line for The Crown, due to a quirk of English law (Prince Philip)...
