Xbox Live Market Place - General Discussion Thread 1

[Space Monkey]

Not sure if anyone will be interested but I just noticed on the Amped demo if you take the hangglider up to the top of the mountain and crash or switch back to snowboard you then have access to the whole mountain including the 2 previously locked areas.

But is that UK or do I need a foreign profile to get it ?

My guess is that it will be out the same time for the US and Europe (like the Fight Night demo)

I bet Live will be full of E3 demos and vids in a couple of weeks.

The new Kameo demo gives you a few minutes in different levels, so not much fun at all, not time to explore. you are rushed through it without a real taste for the game, shame as I may have got it if I'd had the chance to play it properly. At 1 gb its crazy too.

holy crap

lost planet is one of my most anticipated games for this year

Superb

I hope soooooo much that Microsoft take advantage of all them demos being shown at E3. The show is completely a consumer event now thanks to the interent - go one better and let us play!

I can't find the source, but have a read:

Xbox Live Marketplace is the environment that brings Xbox Live Arcade into the home. Besides being home to the newest trailers, demos, game content downloads, and more, it will also play host to some of the hottest downloads from E3 2006. "It is our goal to bring E3 home to Xbox Live members as best we can, all the videos and the news as quickly as possible," vowed Peter. "We will give you the flavor of what's going on, on the show floor and some of the stuff that we are showing and debuting here."

E3 will be a real test for Xbox Live because everyone will be tuned into their Xbox consoles and continually downloading new content. "If we can get through Halo? 2, which we did, then I think we can get through anything."

Xbox Live members should be able to play many of the demos that even the celebrities will be testing out at E3. Steven Spielberg tried out Call of Duty? 2 last year at the Microsoft booth, and Peter says he is sure Spielberg has E3 already marked on his calendar. The movie industry and the gaming industry are moving closer together as more and more games are developed based off of films.

Ahh sweet.
The story came from

[Concept]

A real-time Halo 3 trailer for Live (or at a push, short single player demo) timed to be released to coincide with information (or the same information) at E3 would be immense from MS.

*hopes unrealistically*

[Yoshimax]

That Lost Plant Pre-E3 trailer is the absolute business - Not one I was looking forward to based on earlier videos but that one changes everything.

Got everything crossed there'll be a demo around E3 time for us to try - The vid seems to hint at it.

[PeteJ]

Next week isn't it? 5th?

[J0e Musashi]

Next week isn't it? 5th?

The 9th.

[Yoshimax]

Next you'll be telling me it has live play.

[IanE]

Yeah, they confirmed there'll be a demo released on Marketplace at E3 time.

[FelixofMars]

Any idea when the PD0 fixes/new maps are avalible?

[atrus]

Anyone downloaded the music video of Over My Head by The Fray yet? Its just appeared on the marketplace.

Was quite suprised, I really like it. If anyone else likes good Piano-based rock, then give it a go!
