[OFFICIAL] Xbox Live Latest Demos


Recommended Posts

Won't let me download the Test Drive demo. Keeps saying connection lost, try again in a few minutes. Must be tons of people trying to grab it.

yeah i noticed that last night, keep trying and you'll get it eventually

i noticed a lot of people were using the servers (practically everybody on my friends list was downloading the E3 content)

Haha, yea, and I'm sure the fact that Gold is free for this week doesn't help matters much, eh? :D

I'm getting that crashing bug on Test Drive, i am sure it has something to do with the online portion of the game. I played it fine multiple times yesterday when it couldn't connect to the server, but today, twice in a row it crashed.

Yea, I think they underestimated the servers they would need just for the Demo and the servers may be crashing which in turn crashes the (already unstable) demo.

The Lost Planet demo causes my 360 to freeze....It's getting on my damn nerves.

You are not the first person I have read saying this. Definitely not good. :no:

Well, it is a demo, and my guess is it was probably rushed to meet the E3 hype, so I would just take it with a grain of salt and chalk it up as it maybe it should have not been released as soon as it was.

People keep saying Lost Planet crashes there 360's but it runs sweet as on mine. :s Am i the only one? :| lol And is it just me or are the XBLM downloads zooming today, i've just downloaded about 6 trailers in 10 minutes when usually it would take 10 mintues to get to 50 percent of one. (I ain't complaining)

Same here, no crashes here neither. Test drive unlimited though is a different matter, crashed on me twice so far and its the 1st time my 360 has crashed heh

yeah the XBL servers seem faster, probably because people have stopped downloading all the trailers :p was well busy last night

Same here, really enjoyed both levels in the demo really shows alot of the game. Blooming hard though, maybe thats because i'm crap at aiming on a console.

It's not your aim that's the problem, the game is definitely difficult to aim as compared to other console FPS.. trust me, this is coming from an avid console FPS gamer. :cool: Anyway, I thought the demo was fantastic and I wasn't really all that excited about this game until I played the demo. I might just pick this up, I think the aiming thing is just a matter of getting used to/compromising.

MotoGP '06 Demo is on Marketplace and weighs in at 882.53MB

Also looks like they've got more servers on Live now because this download is belting along.

That's probably just because most people are at school or work right now. I'm sure it'll be bogged down by the time I get home from work. Hope I'm wrong, though. I really want to try out MotoGP.

Lost Planet seems like it'll be a good game, but I really sucked at the pirate part (I forget the full name). Once I got somewhat near the mechs (or was it just one? I was getting shot too much to tell) I could barely stand up long enough to shoot sometimes. :rofl: I'll give it another go later today.

Nice, my boy just called me about the MotoGp Demo, I had no idea up until this point.

I am already at 20% and just started DLing it right before I responded in this thread, so it appears MS may have gotten their act together with the servers. (Y)

it looks very pretty. but does anyone know whats been improved besides the new season, riders, etc? still as hard as ever :p

The only thing i've seen that has improved are the graphics. The game is still blooming difficult and the default controls i found were awful.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
