There is one coming on Emergence Day (this Sunday the 12th) for those with Gears of War. I'm sure it will probably be available to those w/o GoW as well, but I don't know how it's going to work exactly.

if it is for those who already have it, the europeans are ****ed again, great, just great.

Anyone tried it yet?

What's the verdict?

[Remysaus]

is it a gold member exclusive again?

I hate how they are pushing silver members more and more towards gold, at first it was just the same except for no multiplayer, but now you have to have gold to download new releases or wait a week or 2.. :(

[PabUK Veteran]

To be fair they did say from the start that Gold members would be getting extra content over Silver. They've just taken a long time getting around to it.

[Remysaus]

just checked and guess what; demo is exclusive to gold members.

If only I had enough money to buy GoW and xbox live gold membership. >_<

I kind of wish they didnt make Game demos Gold exclusive though, videos and other stuff yeah but demos I dunno

[PabUK Veteran]

Yeah, I agree on that point. Seeing as the whole point of a demo is to sell the full game it seems they're shooting themselves in the foot with that one.

[magik]

Yea, I think it's stupid to make it Gold exclusive and I really wish they wouldn't do that.

To be fair though, I think they're realizing how costly the bandwidth is for 1GB avg game demos and they need to do something. So, if you think about it, you can't really blame them.

As long as it's eventually accessible to Silver members, then I think I can overlook it.

[myNando]

Drawing within Superman is cool! (Y)

Okay, I know that was lame. So what!?

I downloaded the demo and played it for a little bit. It was alright. It was a lot like the Spider-Man 2 game but with flying instead of swinging. lol

<~ idiot

[sfalcon]

^Lmao

The demo was actually better than I expected. Granted my expectations were quite low. However, I found myself playing it for a lot longer that I intended. Kind of fun to just fly around, throw cars around, pick up chicks and drop them in smoke stacks while they thank you for "saving them". It was interesting, but next gen it is not.

Well Microsoft isn't short of money and you dont see people paying to get their demos on PC

Usually because PC demos almost always have mirrors set up by different servers to help alleviate any bandwidth issues, rarely does a developer have to serve all the bandwidth by themselves. There are even whole websites made just for serving up game demos.
