Did you download the full version, or just unlock the demo? I think that makes a difference.

so you think you can leave an unlocked full version on someone elses machine when your account is off it? i wouldnt think so. it'd be blatant piracy.

You can only play XBLA arcade titles on a machine with the profile that bought them; otherwise they don't show up. So yeah, you can get game on ten different consoles with one name, but only one person could play online with it at a time.

I can't remember.

The full version download and the demo download are the same thing minus the license to play the full game. That's why it reverts back to the demo if you aren't signed on. If you download the demo, then click "buy game" it's the same thing.

Theres a demo for NHL2k7 up.
NHL 2007 had a demo up yesterday but its just a shootout....lame.

Is NHL 2k7 still just a bit shinier than the regular Xbox version?

Damn you, I was just about to post this

Another reason EA is lamer though hehe... JK, I'll check it out, and hope they release a "real" demo because I want to compare the 2. I'll probably just stick with 2k though since that's what I've bought the last 2 or 3 years now.

I'm still downloading the 2k7 demo. Its over 1 gig!

Okay, so I woke, read all that stuff about PS3 only shipping 500k worldwide, RSX being downgraded, and devs not actually being able to pull off 1080p, LOLed, then went out and bought a 360.

I was willing to defend them for having a lame press conference and a high price tag. But if they're going to pull a bait and switch 2 months before launch on the GPU, then I just feel used. And if they're going to ship in such miniscule amounts that I have to fight off roving bands of ebay warriors throughout the cold Canadian November night just to play Resistance because the launch lineup's feeble and every good game they promised is delayed until next spring and the store will probably only get 3 and I'll walk away empty handed anyway, screw that.

So basically I'll see you guys online for PSU. I get dibs on a RAmar. This one had better have legendary shotguns.

Why do people keep complaining about this? Pretty much every demo these days are 800-1k megs, so get over it The games are on 9 gig discs, so it's to be expected... and you obviously have broadband, so it's not an issue of speed... and if it's going slower than it should, go watch some TV or play a game on your 360. Nothing says you have to sit and wait

As for the demo itself... I'm not sure how I feel about it's presentation. It's making it like a movie about hockey, instead of a TV broadcast of a real hockey game... kind of odd. Graphics are a major improvement though. I'm about to try 07 to compare as best I can.
