Trivia
As of May, 2009, through a collaborative effort involving HaLo2FrEeEk of Clan Infectionist, and Louis Wu of HBO, these cutscenes are available for download in 720p High Definition, and have been re-encoded in Standard Definition as well. Both are offered in WMV and MOV flavors. Thanks to HaLo2FrEeEk for recording, editing and hosting these files, thanks to Louis Wu for hosting mirrors and covering the news part of the releases, and thanks to Wraith Ops for hosting mirrors. For the sake of bandwidth, the files are being doled out slowly and are being distributed via a load balancing script between the 4 hosting locations. You can find these downloads here, at HBO.
