It’s also another reason to have the gold subscription, in which case it’s not stupid as far as Microsoft are concerned. If you don’t want to pay it, wait a week or two and then you can download it, big deal!

Suddenly my gigabytes have become precious to me now that I'm installing games on my 20gb hard-drive.
So a 1.5gb demo means that I will have to do some house cleaning |

My Live membership expired last weekend and I vowed not to reactivate it because I rarely play online. Having this demo exclusive for Live is not on frankly. btw: who leaves their Xbox on at home to download items remotely?

Reasoned response there. I don't play online so why should I pay £40 for a few adverts/demos? I can understand why Live isn't free, they are offering a service but stuff like demos shouldn't be exclusive to Gold members. And the perk for being a Gold member is playing online is it not? |

The perk is what ever MS decide it is, and at the moment they've decided it's playing online and (timed) exclusive demos. You're welcome to try and dictate their policies for them though, let me know how that goes for you. |

I don't leave my 360s on at home in order to pick up downloads, but I'm using he remote download feature to load the download list full of stuff I want, then just getting home and turning a 360 on and letting it do its thing while I make dinner, sort washing out, hop on the rowing machine, or whatever. Seeing as I normally get home about 7 or 8pm (and have to be in work by 7am so tend to be in bed by 12!), spending 10-15 minutes just queuing stuff up was a right PITA and resulted in me either a) sacrificing what actually constituted a percentage of my evening or b) not downloading stuff because I didn't have the time/inclination. |

good job.
now the question is: will playing this on a joypad make me want to harm myself and others - like fucking Tiberium wars (which i still havent finished on the 360 due to frustration). getting the PC version is a non starter for me as I refuse to pay for games with Securom / limited installs etc etc... insert verbal fist shaking at the evil EA empire blah blah balh... shame the aren't likely to let us use keyboard and mouse on the 360 version... its not like the machine has usb ports or anything.. oh wait... |
