Just to be safe, before I do it, is there one region better than another?

I have a UK adress I can use, my boy in Scotland actually, but is that the best to use?

Going to do it as soon as I get home. I really cannot do it the way people are talking about the Rainbow Six Demo!

I don't think it really matters what address you use, just as long as it's in the region you want.

will the Rainbow Six demo ever be available for us North Americans?

I'm sure it will be eventually.

I would do the Region work-around thing, but I don't want to waste the free month of Xbox Live Gold that comes with setting up a new Silver Account. I would rather use that for someone that may want to use it one day or something. Does anyone know if there is any way of setting up a new Silver Account without wasting the free month of Xbox Live Gold that comes with it (since you're limited to 3 per console) ?

Thanks again for the tips everyone.

As soon as I am done eating dinner, I am going to check out Rainbow 6, as it is already downloaded and on my hard drive. (Y)

I would say the 20 minutes I spent setting up the other account was well worth it. Rainbow Six is definitely very cool, and I took my time with the demo, and got well over an hour playing it.

Visually it is stunning. It truly is. Perhaps the best I have seen so far, so it was worth it for that aspect alone. Although I will say it is far from flawless. It probably has the best overall visuals I have seen to date, but that is not to say I did not see plenty of jaggies and a few glitches here and there. But that is me being picky, which I always am.

The gameplay is a lot of fun. GRAW, but a slightly faster pace for sure. With that said, I did see some slow downs here and there, obviously a result of the great graphics combined with a lot of on screen action.

So was it worth it doing what I did? Hell yeah. I would have no need for 3 accounts ever, just would not happen as I live with my girlfriend and no one ever really plays on my 360 except me, so it was worth the 20 minutes I had to spend setting it all up, and now I know if they ever decided to release another region protected demo in the future, I am covered.

@ magik, I saw no way around the free month trial. I pressed back like 4 times trying to see if I could skip it, cause I saw no need for it either.

I can only agree about those slowdowns, there's quite a few actually :s

The AI is a bit odd at times, the ragdoll moves funny, you can't pick up the SIG552 looking gun,

the USP40 gun you can pickup sounds exactly the same with and without silender.

Yeah there are some glitches but look at it this way, the demo build has to be at leased 1 month old (Microsoft do a lot of playtesting on these, just like the full game) and the full game has not gone gold yet (AFAIK) so basically it's a beta. From what i have heard the final build of carbon was a lot smoother than the demo, which was filmed in stutter-vision!

Yea, let us know how you like it. I want to check it out, but I might wait for the US release ;)

The demo is included with the latest OXM if you want to go that route. (That probably explains why it wasn't released on the Marketplace for NA with the rest of the world)

THP8 reminded me a lot of Girl's Yeah Right! video if anyone has seen that. It's kick ass and has me hooked on TH games again. Not sure if it's enough for me to buy it though. Good demo though :yes:

I've had RS:V on my hard drive for days but not had time to play it. Sounds promising what others have said though :D

I'm addicted to Splinter Cell :p. It's best when there are three people that can speak. I'ts actually convinced me to pay for another year of xbox live gold.

I would say I am addicted as well. At least partially. I just wish I was better at being a Spy. :(

I actually just asked this question in the thread about the game.

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By Defiantly · Posted

      Maybe I missed it, but does this say anywhere that the game save bug has been squashed? I haven't encountered it myself, but it would be nice to know I'm good to go. Anyway, amazingly well done game. Mostly more of the same. ...but when the same is best in class with improved graphics and features, then a win.

      Well when your game flops, you should expect this. If I do bad at work, I would expect a layoff. Less than 1600 people played it on steam. https://steamdb.info/app/1934570/charts/
