If I designed Crackdown I'd be indifferent.  I mean, you'll never know if your game sold well because people liked it.. Or if they bought it for a "free" demo that came with it.  Personally I think most people will be paying 60$ for the Halo 3 Demo and getting crackdown for free.. Know I will..

Thanks a million major, always makes the day better.  I've been looking at Crackdown since the first announcements.  To me this is just icing on the cake.

even if people bought the game for the h3 beta, (i didn't btw, it's not that serious) not all the crackdown copies have beta invitations, only a limited selection, so those will sell, the rest, i'm not so sure. actually, now that i think of it, the game might do well, a lot of people buy crappy games, don't know why tho.

Major, since you are involved in Xbox Live, could you post the quickest, easiest way to regain your offline downloadable content after your console has been replaced by Microsoft?

My defective console was replaced, not repaired, so the $150+ of Downloadable Content I purchased cannot be used unless my replacement console is connected and signed into Xbox Live. This in unacceptable, as I often bring the console to other places and now cannot use any Arcade Game or content download I have purchased.

I have to ask, who owns the content? I have paid for it in Real World dollars, but I am blocked from using it.

Please advise and help.
