Xbox 360 Live demo availability thread

Alright since people are having trouble, here's a way to make an account from a country different from yours.

Use Google Maps to find a coffee shop or something in Japan. Use their postal code (it'll be more that the 5-digit # we're used to in USA).

When you make an account, you don't need a correct address, only a right postal code.

Also make a new email address. (Hotmail)

This is really sloppy cause my boss is walking around the office trying to get this don't before the gets back.

Good luck.

It's not really a demo though, its an interactive video...... ^^;
...and this means?

Meh. I'm not the least bit interested in the game, but I'll just dl it for the hell of it just to look at the graphics...

you will be converted.

also, why the **** are my demo downloads so slow for 2 months already? It's not only when downloading a new demo either, any demo is slow. Videos are fast, demos not. Does anyone else have this?
 
Don't know if it was mentioned earlier, the R6 demo might be held back from the U.S. Live because it is the primary feature of the new OXM disc. Looking forward to playing it from there later. Disc also has the Test Drive and Just Cause demos, so that frees up some hd space for me.

I dunno, that's what it says. It's over 700 meg so it's not done yet.

Viva Pinata is up

downloading now.

edit: hold on, interactive video? wtf? ah well, it's rare, anything will do me.


its just a video where you hit a or b to view a different character's short clip

its not interactive really at all its mainly just a system for advancing the video


also, i thought we were only going to bump this thread when demos come

Yeah, someone on the board said it was an OXM exclusive for another week. Not sure how factual that is however...

Well the original bump was because hadareud thought it was a demo. Hence his edit.

To be fair, this is indeed in the "new demos" section of XBL Marketplace.

I take that back, I should have never downloaded this. It almost put me off the game.

I hope there won't be many cutscenes in the final game.

Anyway, the ingame graphics are great as expected, I don't think there was much new ingame footage though. Those tv pinatas do annoy the **** out of me though.

I didn't see a Rainbow Six demo this afternoon, so I switched to my Japanese gamertag, checked the demo section, and found it up for download along with Zegapain NOT.
 
Yeah Rainbow Six isnt showing up on some 360ies for some reason. I couldnt find it on my brother's 360 for instance.


Oh and that Viva Pinata video... :lol Wonder when Rare is going to get started on something good again.

Is Zegapain any good?

Are there any other worthwhile downloads on JPNmarketplace that I should make an account for?

Tenchu was kind of fun. Zegapain isn't my thing at all, but if you like giant robot games its probably cool.

Edit: I have a J360 so these might be locked to US/EU consoles.
 
demi said:
Tenchu isn't region locked. No idea about Zegapain.

Not region locked. Not worth the time, either.

It's ZoE2, in a more bubbly/anime style, minus all the awesome stuff of ZoE2. Really.
 
More like zoe2 with assed controls and a total hollow experience, I remember being semi interested before playing the terrible demo.

Um, yeah. Did anybody find a solution to that? I downloaded it yesterday, or at least I thought I did, and couldn't find it on my demos list. The 'Find Item' option also gets you nowhere, just to a black screen and then back to the dashboard. I tried to re-download it, but it stops at 1% and it gives you a weird error. What's up with that?! (I'm talking PAL version here.)

You could try creating a Japanese account, that might fix the problem (download the demo from there).
