Microsoft has obviously been pushing the marketplace... and obviously the Halo series is their savior... so wouldn't it make sense to have a playable demo (the Halo 2 demo was techinacally a full workign demo, played by I forget who)? An especially good time to have the demo would be around the PS3 launch. Not only would this A) Take away from the hype of the PS3, it would B) Convince some people that they should buy an Xbox360 now, instead of when Halo 3 releases (like I plan on doign lol). Not to mention the rumors about CE on Xbox Live Arcade...

Then you won't care anyway, because you don't have the system the game will be on anyway.

Ummmm...since it's coming out for the 360 you'd never be able to play it anyways, playable demo or not.

first a halo 3 demo would be ultra sweet but they won't put CE into the arcade it is way to huge, look at the other games they are old school super pixilated or very short halo CE wouldn't fit into the arcade. maby marathon since it has a lowwer graphic engine would be cool since marathon is the grandfather of halo, halos mom is Oni.

It would be awesome, but it's highly unlikely

Yeah about that market-place...im never getting lag in MM but it seems hella slow whenever im tryin to d/l anything from it..well slow or interupted..is that just me?
And stop complaining about not havin enough money for a 360, stop eatin candy, smoking or whatever you putting ur money on nowadays. there will be an xmas and prolly a b/day for all of u before halo 3 comes out. And u cant be that unfortunate since u seem to be able to afford an xbox, xbl, computer and the internet service as it is. Yall prolly gonna get it..and when u do give ur old 1 to some1 less fortunate like i did

Dont care whether the demo comes out today, the next, or even the next. I will buy the 360 around Christmas when its cheaper.

Well....Your just screwed......


PS- You cant play H3 without a 360 anyways

  • 05.10.2006 4:49 PM PDT

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

WTF?! You know Halo 3 was going to come out, why dont you have a 360 yet?
Why come here and complain about it only being on the 360 or that you cannot play the demo on your xbox?

I dont think a demo is a good idea UNLESS it has nothing to do with the plot, just some random level they made up to screw with us.

As for marketplace content, pics, skins, faceplates, everything else will be out.

OOOH a weekly update on the marketplace. YEAH!

Piggy12 brings up a very good point!!!

BUT, what about the people who don't have a TV or electricity. Or, quadriplegics, what will a demo in the marketplace mean to them?
