Watch Online Beijing 2008 Olympics Closing Ceremony and Games Free
Attention worldwide user, watch Beijing 2008 Olympics Games and Closing Ceremony online.
Now you can watch the games and closing ceremony online for free if you happen to live outside of US. Unlike NBC with its exclusive rights in the US, CCTV Olympics is offering all internet surfers the chance to watch the games online for free, anyone and everyone regardless of which country you’re from. The only catch is, the website is in Mandarin, fear not, I’ve created a step by step tutorial on which button to click. Only a few simple steps, here goes:
STEP 01 : Visit CCTV Olympics website, sign in with your msn account ‘Step 01′, once you’re done, hit the orange colour button labeled ‘Step 02′. Please note that this could be a phishing website, a phishing website does no harm to your comp but its main intention is to steal information. I strongly suggest you create a new msn account and sign in! Please take my advice seriously, get a new msn account.
.
.
STEP 02 : You’ll be redirected to a new page as shown above, wait for it to load.
.
.
STEP 03 : You’ll be greeted with a matrix like menu as shown above, it won’t be hard to figure about the type of games that each button represent. Red means ‘Live’, Green means ‘Re-runs’
.
.
STEP 04 : Select the channel, please note the installation of an unknown file is required, click on the orange link if it does appear and download. If you’re unsure about the purpose of the file and its functions, I’ve done a virus scan on it. View VirusTotal online report on CCTVRegOcx. For your information, Virustotal is a service that used 32 different types of virus engine and databases to analyze suspicious files and facilitates the quick detection of viruses, worms, trojans, and all kinds of malware detected by antivirus engines.

Now, I bet you must be wondering why they are making these magazines available for free?
