X360 gets Fight Night 3 demo

Plus two trailers, too.

Electronic Arts has released a new demo for Fight Night Round 3, the first Xbox 360 instalment in the hit boxing sim series - and it's now available for download via Xbox Live Marketplace.

Weighing in at 486MB, the demo lets you play part of a fight as either Bernard Hopkins or Roy Jones Jr. There are also two new trailers to download - the first one runs at 720p and is 61MB, and the 11MB trailer runs at 480p.

This isn't the first time a demo has been made available in the Marketplace - you can also try out Condemned and Quake 4. Let's hope there are many more to come, which seems likely since Xbox Live seems to be doing very well since the launch of Microsoft's new console; according to Peter Moore, more than four million pieces of game, music and movie content have been downloaded since the console's US launch on November 22, would you believe.

EA has yet to announce a European release date for Fight Night Round 3 - but as you'll know if you've seen the screenshots, it seems to be shaping up very nicely indeed.
