Xbox Live Marketplace packed with new content

yes!

Hmm, well wiping my arse would be $.25 cheaper.

It'd be nice if I could play orginal xbox demos on the 360. Those of us who receive OXM discs would appreciate not having to swap discs in and out of the two systems. I would be especially happy due to the fact that my original xbox, complete with Thompson dvd drive, has finally spun it's last after years of battling dirty or damaged disk read errors (on mint condition discs). A timely death since it coincided with my purchase of a 360 but unfortunately I can't play the Black or Painkiller demos. By the way, which would be the better use for a dollar? Downloading new colors for Crystal Quest or wiping my arse after a huge deuce?

Expect Astropop, Jewel Quest, Feeding Frenzy all in late February, and Street Fighter 2HF in March. As well as demos in late Feb/early March for at least some of the game releasing in March. Where did you hear that Astropop will be on the marketplace? I would definetely buy it!!

I can blame MS' for allowing half-broken demos to be released on to the beautiful thing that is the xbox live marketplace.

Why allow a half broken demo to even be released? The download system is brilliant, just don't allow broken demos to be released. Allowing that trash onto the 360 is MS' fault.

Why allow a half non-working demo to be released? The download system is brilliant, just don't allow half done demos to even be released. Allowing that onto the 360 is MS' fault.

I've been a PS user since 96 and always refused to get an Xbox cause none of my money needs to go to Mr. Gates. So i cracked and got a 360 because Elder Scrolls IV looks unreal, but the marketplace has now changed my views on Xbox completely. I now am questioning whether or not to shell out $700 for a PS3!

you cant blame MS for the demo's not working cus thats up to the game makes to have things like that running the way there ment to be, atm its earliy days but 6month's down the line there be games (better games) being added on a weekly basic's to just hang on in there plus this is all new for consols, i think we expect to much to fast these days....

Just be happy that they keep the demos coming!!!!

Has anyone heard anything on when Street Fighter will be put on Marketplace?

fantastic news, if only i had one of those elusive 360's......c'mon M$ pickup the pace, you're slacking! Very odd, its never been so difficult to actually pay M$ money.

i want content of stuff that's not out!!..that's the whole point of a demo...King Kong??.. freaking game has been out for 3 months...if i didn't get it by now...do you really think i'm gonna want the crappy demo??..dumbazzezzzz!!.. how about demos for " the outfit".." gears of war".." ghost recon"....otherwise...all the content is garbage and useless...

Bejewled? Why would you play that on a $400 game machine when you could play it on your cell phone?

i like what microsoft is doing when they add content but still those prices are a little high....i know its only a dollar here and there but it adds up and I'm sure sum of these kids parents are going to be upset when they see the next bill showing all the content downloaded and such these updates are good but also kind of a waste of money and time, King Kong is a pretty bad game despite the graphics which are pretty poor also, Fight Night 3 seems good tho

I thought I was doing something wrong on the V-rex demo. The level you play as Kong (can't remember the name) was tight though. Also, on the subject of the Full Auto demo, did anyone else ever end up getting knocked off of the main course and stuck inside one of the buildings. Never had the freeze glitch, but had this happen to one of my brothers when they were playing.

I knew about this last night

Very nice Updates now people can get an Diea what all they can dop with the Fight night customisations

cool. I'm a big fan of all the MI: series.

Just wanna say that I love the marketplace. I think the demos/trailers/themes idea is great. I personally love the movie previews. I just watched the new one for MI:3 last night. The fact that I can get something like that on a console is great.

I love Xbox Live. It's worth the $50 a year membership. If anything, for the way less lag experience.

wow i wish they had a better choice

The Full Auto demo has never caused a crash/lockup for me. Have played it on around 10 different occasions.

Confirmed: The King Kong V-Rex demo is broken..... unless the player was intended to walk around an extremely small section of land with absolutely nothing to do except click on a couple of NPCs who exhibit a quick waving of the arms, then just stand there. Uhm, I just hope actual retail games don't start accomplishing such atrocious feats.

It is common knowledge that the Full Auto demo causes freeze ups for the entire 360 forcing you to reboot (did it to me the first 2 times), read the gamespot news release about the demo. As for Kong, have you played the demo? Did the V-Rex level get past the first area? I was just stating that it (the V-Rex level) didn't work for me. Not bashing the 360 marketplace, it is one of my favorite aspects of the 360, it just annoys me when the demos do not work for me.

Still praying for Geometry Wars 3. Astropop is pretty fun though and Feeding Frenzy is fun, if extremely simple. I play them at work during my lunch break *shrugs*

Wow! New contents for me...........

hmm, don't care much about that stuff, but I'm glad they're keeping the content coming.

PLUG IN YOUR DAMN XBOX. STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT BC. THEY SHOULDN"T HAVE MADE ANY GAMES BC ON 360. JUST SO I WOULDN"T HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT PEOPLE COMPLAINING!!!

old news the only thing new is the kong demo and some lame ass theme packs that they want you to buy lame who cares what the picture is on the dashbord you see for like a second before you play a game how about updating the old xbox list so we can play some good games like conkers espn 2k5 crazy taxi 3 come on already they havent updated it since dec get with it already give us something i can use demos are fine and all but kong is old and nobody cares about that game anyways

i want a hexic hd download (for the game itself) cuz i accidently erased mine

sweet!! :)

Come on guys, this is the first system to have downloadable demos and all you can do is complain? Its not up to MS on demos, its up to the game developers.

man i cant wait a year from now for the marketplace slow down cry babies you loved you xbox now look at the best console ever 360 has allot in store for us this year

WTF is up with demos we can already get or are of games that are already out. i want some GRAW or BF2 or Saitns row demo. even dead rising. something thats not out yet. Fight night was a prime example of good marketplace. it was NEW.

because bradberry9 wants attention, just another xbox basher that's all.

To add new content you have to pay for on a game that just came out (Crystal Quest) is a bit crappy IMO. These silly things could have came with the game for free.

Expect Astropop, Jewel Quest, Feeding Frenzy all in late February, and Street Fighter 2HF in March. As well as demos in late Feb/early March for at least some of the game releasing in March.

Take Note Sony. Marketplace is the best thing since Xbox Live. But before you get there, you need a stable Online SERVICE!

I want to try out crystal quest now... wonder if its any good.

Full Auto works for me. Why do you say it's broken, bradberry9?

As said before, the V-Rex demo just doesn't work. Please keep releasing broken demos (Full Auto) to us. We will just gobble them up because we are desperate for anything to play.

Booooooooo I'm a ghost Booooooooo Thanks for nothing. Couldn't you guys have at least put something up that deals with GR:AW, Battlefield 2, Far Cry, Oblivion, etc.

I still want to know how we are going to be able to put stuff on the marketplace.

Wow. Thank God they packed the marketplace with useless crap and stuff that's been around since launch. Well, February is half over.

awesome ill check it out right now.

the demo is screwed up. the v-rex level doesnt even work. the v-rex doesnt even come out and the 2 characters dont move from the cave opening to activate the scene

no GRAW demo? Im disappointed.....

The most new content will come late February/beginning of March. 4 new arcade games, demos, trailers, etc.
