I use to downlaod all of them. about a year ago I stopped. I just downloaded the ones where i wasn't sure if I should rent or not. not even the must buys i don't download so it doesn't take away when it comes out.
Because on Xbox live I more or less download every demo as its released, 120gb harddrive so it doesnt hurt too much, besides its a good way to discover a game I might like.
Its alot more rare with PC games; in fact I can hardly be bothered to do so and I only ever download PC demos when its a real anticipated title, most the time I just take the gamble and buy the game. HOWEVER I do download alot of MMO free trials, because monthly suscriptions are a different story.
I download a ton of demos from Xbox Live, but only end up playing a small fraction of them. Most of them just take up valuable hard drive space until I decide to hit the delete button.
Only around 3 a month. I mean usually I only have time for maybe one game every 3 months or whatever anyways, so I only download like one demo a month. Usually they are the games that I am not as interested in either. THe last one I downloaded was the DMC4 demo for my PS3...but before that I think it might have been Ace Combat 6 or Bioshock...
thats what was happening to me a long time ago, one reason i stopped

I pretty much download every demo that hits Marketplace for the 360. I like to try out games that I may have not even thought of picking up and some of them have convinced me to purchase the full game upon release. For games that I already know I'll pick up the demo can be a good way to pass the time until the full game hits.
I love demos for when I'm skeptical about a game, it's like a free rent. Also, when I rent a game, I tend to feel rushed and I have to just blow through it as fast as I can before I'm out of days to play, so I end up staying inside and going crazy instead of just doing what I normally do..
ill donwload demos for the games im iffy about. look good but unknown dev, or few reviews but genre i like, then ill try demo to see if worth buying. for big titles or from devs i like ill just get the gmae if it takes my fancy
I only download demos for games that I'm interested in and want to play. That way I don't buy games and then completely regret it later because I've wasted my money.
I used to download all of them, but i was rarely playing any of them, so i deleted the junk. I downloaded and enjoyed the DMC4 demo, but i cant even remember the last time i played a demo.
