Superbowl Ads as Video Downloads

By Wired Blogs February 6, 2006 Categories: Multimedia

From our “in case you missed it” department, all of the new advertisements from Superbowl XL are available as podcasts and video streams over at Podcasting News. The RSS feed is here.

The commercials are also available at Google Video for free viewing and downloading.

This year’s Superbowl definitely created more than a few ironic TiVo moments. Most people record programs to their DVR so they can skip the commercials, not the opposite. At any rate, the availability of video on the web now (in comparison to last year at least) makes the whole experience of watching the Superbowl just to catch the commercials seem obsolete. For many viewers, that’s the only reason to watch the broadcast. That and maybe the Rolling Stones. A search for a video of their halftime show returned no hits at Google Video, but YouTube has video of the twins performing “Start Me Up“
