They need to get a GOW theme and picture pack out now!!!!! :D

I do believe one is coming Sunday. I could be mistaken though...

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.

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.. :(

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.

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

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.

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

^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.

The 'Cars' demo is now available on the Marketplace now. Silver members will have to wait another week if they want to download it.

      Nice rant! Expletive after expletive after expletive. Poor petal, I've touched a nerve. Would you like a tissue to wipe those tears away. Btw, nice one calling Neowin trash. Why would you stick around when you disrespect this site and the people behind it? Just go away if you feel that way.

    • Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 1

      By Copernic · Posted

      Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 1 by Razvan Serea Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 8 times due to its smart dynamic file segmentation technology. Unlike other download managers and accelerators, Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process, and it reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve the best possible acceleration performance. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. All popular browsers are supported IDM integrates seamlessly into Google Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Maxthon and all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from command line. The program supports proxy servers, ftp and http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, authorization, MP3 audio and video content processing. IDM includes web site spider and grabber IDM downloads all required files that are specified with filters from web sites, for example all pictures from a web site, or subsets of web sites, or complete web sites for offline browsing. It's possible to schedule multiple grabber projects to run them once at a specified time, stop them at a specified time, or run periodically to synchronize changes. Easy downloading with one click When you click on a download link in a browser, IDM will take over the download and accelerate it. You don't need to do anything special, just browse the Internet as you usually do. IDM will catch your downloads and accelerate them. IDM supports HTTP, FTP, HTTPS and MMS protocols. Changes in Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1: Added the ability to download MP4 files from web sites where previously only TS videos were available. IDM displays both TS and MP4 file formats in its video download button. If you only need MP4 files, disable TS in IDM Options -> General tab -> Customize IDM Download panels in browsers -> Edit button. Remove TS extension on "Customize IDM Download panel in browsres" dialog Fixed video downloading problems on several popular web sites Fixed bugs Download: Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1 | 11.9 MB (Shareware) Links: Internet Download Manager Website | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      This is of course "clickbait" WTF? It is literally your example but tech based. A "clickbait" title is a sensationalized headline designed to manipulate readers into clicking a link using things like "fear" rather than delivering objective facts. A "clickbait" headline also usually provides little value compared to the hype generated. How does this headline not qualify? It's a generic often reused headline that is overly sensationalized. Oh no! "millions" can't use this app anymore. It has no basic facts like what f*cking app. You read the article and it's the Samsung VPN which no one cares about and there is a million free VPNs. How are you defending this ######? Headlines like this (and among other things) make me read Neowin much less than I used to in the past. It's trash...
