Are they gonna make a dvd with it and sell it on the regular stores by surprise or, will it be a xbox live download? It would be weird if they release a case with the demo only 2 months before the game ships, would it really work?

Thats what I think, it will probably be released on an OXM disc. Quite possibly the "Holiday" issue this year (OXM always has a 13th issue every year. An ad [found here] shows that the Holiday issue will be out on August 24th (strange coincidence...). I'd imagine the disc will be free :D, MS knows people aren't going to pay for a disc when the game will be out in 2 months anyways...

that would make me verry happy if they did a live download because I dont OXM, but I think the most probable is that they're gonna put out an OXM disc, in which case im gonna get ripped off and have to pay like 8 bucks for the stupid magazine at newstand price

Jaynatch, at least you have an X-box. I don't even have one and if the demo is in it, I am going to buy that magazine. Then see how much time I can spend at my friends houses (well, at least those who own an x-box). Maybe I will even buy two...

My prediction:

AUGUST 24th WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT DATE FOR HALO 2

Most likely new media, possibly a demo.

my guess would be that it would be like the E3 demo: a video of game play maybe showing off some new features or levels, or even a few more pieces of the story... another teaser to stir us up into another frenzy...

i dont think subscribers get that issue because on the little insert thingys is says "YES! Send me the next 12 issues and 12 games discs of the Official Xbox Magazine for just $29.99 - that's a sacings of 75% OFF the newsstand rate! With my paid order I'll receive The Best of Xbox Game Demos, Vol. 1 for FREE!" well actually i just read it so i guess i wont get the next may issue (my first subscribed one is the june issue) so yea nvm then
