Wow. Quite a lot of stuff. They are going to spoil us. I'm sure there will be lots of complaining the weeks following because of lack of content.

[CaptStu]

Hot damn. Me likey.

[devicelimit]

So good. This is awesome.

[Mortis]

I was hoping for HD footage but I did not expect demos, fucking sweet.

[Neosho]

Holy...crap. I am praying, absolutely praying, that we get a MotoGP 06 demo. It's the only thing that even comes close to making me want to buy a 360 :(

[FallenStar]

Maybe it's the kid in me, but I'll be all over UNO when it comes out. Great childhood memories with that game.

[Zaro]

Very good thing for xbox owner.

[Klade]

So does that mean no halo 3 footage?

We'll see ;)

[TRiLoGY]

Woah (Neo Style)... this is great news :)

[Borys]

Yeah this is just awesome.

[RandomViolence]

Mmmm, good thing finals are ending for my at the beginning of next week. Looks like I've got some work to do ;).

[maharahaj]

awesome, there are like 5 demos i want to try on that list. my 12Gig HD is going to fill up quick!

[Salamande]

Dead or Alive® : Xtreme 2 (Tecmo)
Christ, I'm such a sucker.

*clears hard drive space*

[Zanzibar]

Heads up folks, it says "Playable game demos and/or trailers from highly anticipated titles like..."

I'd be surprised if we got more than 3 or 4 demos off that list.

[Cyrano]

Not one, but two games with "Extreme" in the title? Woah!

[The Letter 3]

Wow, great brand positioning by Microsoft. While Sony and Nintendo announce their upcoming launches and games, those with a 360 will be away from their computers, downloading trailers and demos. Not that I'm complaining! This is why competition rules.

[bapenguin]

Yeah this is just awesome.

Ok.....where did Borys go? That's like the 5th time today you've said awesome to something...you did see the word Microsoft in the title right?

[LarsenNET]

I was kind of hoping for Street Fighter II to come out on Live. :(

[Grimmjow]

I was kind of hoping for Street Fighter II to come out on Live. :(


i was thinking the same thing :(

but who knows E3 has always been full of surprise's!

[phantomhitman]

yeah to moto gp and test drive, and uno, and trailers

[absolut taco]

Woah (Neo Style)... this is great news :)
Fuck Me! (Speed style) ;) .
I can't wait for E3...

[CrysDark]

Did I see DOA Extreme 2 on that list, no wonder DOAXBV 1 is not back-compatible

[TheHulk]

UNO might be the killer ap we've all been waiting for!

[Roc Ingersol]

I was kinda hoping they'd specify what's getting a playable demo and what's just a video.
The way it's lumped together it makes me think there's only 1 or 2 playables in there.

[rainbowblack]

dont laugh, but i never played UNO once in my youth. thought i hear its axactly like crazy eights, which i played to death in high school.

[The Iron Weasel]

Commmmoooonnnnnn Gears Of War demo!

[fitbabits]

Yeah this is just awesome.
Get shagged, Borys! Your faux excitement is hoaching. :D

[Achilles]

Wow, great brand positioning by Microsoft. While Sony and Nintendo announce their upcoming launches and games, those with a 360 will be away from their computers, downloading trailers and demos. Not that I'm complaining! This is why competition rules.Nah they’ll have to be on their computers while they wait for the stuff to download, which for a hot demo will probably be a good long time.

Still it’s awesome that MS is doing this. This way people don’t have to go to E3 to see all the stuff that’s coming out for the 360. While they’re hearing about how great Devil May Cry’s behind-closed-doors showing is, they’ll be able to download the Gears of War demo and play it right there on their own system (hopefully).
