The demo is time released because the game itself is a demo. I think it is smart that Rockstar put a time limit on it. I downloaded the demo and was just going to play it all the time instead of buying it. The main character I wanted to use is unlocked in the demo, Mark. Not much to the full game that the demo is missing. Same with Top Spin 2.

Hey Major...I went and downloaded the game and absolutely loved it (and so did my five year old). Needless to say, within 24 hours of grabbing the download, I bought the game. It's fresh and new instead of the same old tennis! Thanks for the demo!

"Are you saying you'd rather have no demo than a time-limited demo?" there pretty much will be no demo for people who buy their 360s next month and later. maybe microsoft should grow a set and do whats best for the consumer for once. there isnt any logical reason for this. its not like someone who likes the demo is going to not buy the game because they can play the demo.

I hope this isnt a start of a trend.. I think demos should be timeless.. if the game is good enough people will buy it anyways

"Of course Microsoft don't have to do what the publisher wants - Microsoft controls Xbox Live and can make it part of their criteria, that demos don't time out, before they will add it to Market Place. In exactly the same way they control the criteria for XBLA." Are you even thinking this through? Microsoft can set criteria on quality, but it's still up to the publisher to agree to the terms. If the publisher wants a time-limited demo, and Microsoft says they don't like it, the only thing Microsoft can do is decide not put it up on XBL. Are you saying you'd rather have no demo than a time-limited demo?

Well, that's a first (for me at least), a time-limited demo.. And now not with limited playing time, but limited working time.. What's the point??

I'm not a big gamer, I use my 360 less than 2 hours a week, sometimes not at all for a couple weeks in a row. I downloaded the demo and it seemed fun so I made a note to revisit the demo again soon. Now you are telling me that I have a month to play it long enough to see if I want to buy it? Not gonna happen. Which translates into me not buying the game.

Wow, a timed demo, seriously, wtf, this sucks.

What's wrong with you people?

Dave — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 11:43:24 GMT

Obviously, the time limited demo is not Microsoft's idea since none of their other demos have that. It's most likely Rockstar's idea so if you're going to complain, don't take it out on Larry and the Xbox Live team who have to do what the publishers say. It's the publisher's content after all.

From what I understand, it won't erase itself, but will just stop working. Still pants though. Another vote for the "stop this practise before it starts" crowd here.

The community does not like this "time limited" thingy at all. What's the argument for time limiting a demo? Does Rockstar have to pay to have a functional demo on marketplace and on players consoles? What's the big deal? :-) Rockstar, if you read this, we don't like this. Ok?

Can I just change the date on my 360?
