Everyone knows MS charges for stuff that should be free... Even their golden boys at Epic were angry because MS wanted to charge for their first map pack. They ended up doing a timed thing, the same for the Halo maps. If you buy it now, you're an idiot since they will be free later on. It makes me mad, but they are really trying to dig deep into our pockets....(not buying that halo map pack no matter how bad I want em!)

You can download KUF, and you can download Dark Messiah tomorrow. I just said this exact same thing in another thread you made which was exactly the same as this one.

Better for the Gold members, Silver users using Microsoft's bandwidth makes my downloads go slower.

You dont like waiting to download demos so you got a PS3? I assume in your mind somewhere its fine to WAIT for actual games? Seems weird to me, but whatever story you want to make up is fine.

The demos are still FREE. You just have to wait a week or so. The absolute horor of that. Heres an idea on how to kill that time waiting...play an actual game.

This is why I don't mind ripping M$ off in return with free copies of Windows and unlimited access to XBL Gold Trail accounts.

Well there you go. People complain they're not getting enough bang for your buck, so they take rights from free users. They're way of dealing with complaints, I suppose.

lol, they have to somehow make some money since they just lost $1 billion on the stupid RROD failure problem. afterall, the Xbox brand has not turned a single dime of profit to the company since its birth.

I finally hooked up my 360 to my router a couple of days agoso I could get into XBL. Started with amonth free Gold membership trial, but it's worthless now. I started up my 360 today, and what do I get? RROD. I kind of expected it after hearing about all the other failures, but it's still annoying as hell. I can understand a minor malfunction here and there, but a total failure after a few months? Pretty damn weak.

umm who even cares about the demos...the last demo i enjoyed on 360 was call of duty 2. The stupid part is they don't even have demos for the best games like call of duty 4, halo 3, gears of war, assasis creed, orange box etc etc, all they have are hundreds of demos of mostly crappy games.

doesnt even matter..

Its like xbox live just gave up on demos....there hasnt been one demo from any game worth playing in months now, no Assassins Creed, Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4 etc...but if you wanna play some garbage game that nobody intends on buying anyway, theres sure to be a demo for you....

I dont even know what happened......

Well demos are sorta like advertisements, but there's always a change that a bad demo might scare away potential buyers, so if the game has enough hype already I guess they feel it's better not to even put out a demo.
