I downloaded 7 of those 10, It was awesome not to have to watch the videos on a computer with crappy resolution(IGN i'm looking at you), whoever's idea it was to put all this stuff into the marketplace during E3 deserves a raise and maybe a promotion.

Off Topic, does anyone know when we will start to get the new XBox Live Arcade games they showed at E3?

I downloaded 9 out of 10. The only thing I havent downloaded yet is the fable 2 trailer. I probobly will, though. For those of you who havent downloaded the demos for Lost Planet, Moto GP and Test Drive, I highly recommend all three, in the order I listed them. Lost Planet is going to be the bomb.

6 of 10 (plus some not on the top 10)... only impressed by Halo3, GoW and Fable2.

I didn't see 'Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Playable Demo'. Is it any good? Is it available outside of the US?

Zachary, I suspect MS will start to make some of the arcade games available soon. It would be a great way to keep interest up between A-title release periods.

5 out of 10.

And let me just say UNO is the shit. The motoGP demo impressed me too, while lost planet and test drive got played once and then deleted.

I downloaded the Lost Planet Demo and had fun...got killed towards what I believe was the end of it and din't replay it that night. It was cool though. Unfortunately the next night, my Launch Shipment 360 decided to go on strike by freezing and displaying a disturbing checkerboard across my 52 inch High-Def display.

Most disconcerting. It is now in Oklahoma City on its way to McCallen Texas for repair or replacement.

I'm actually not upset about it though for two reasons. 1st of all I expect to possibly have issues with launch hardware for any new console (it's just the chance you take as an early adopter) and 2nd, if I didn't have my 360 forcibly removed from my grasp, I may have been on the way to a divorce.

Actually, there's a third reason...it ahs given me an excuse to go buy God of War (PS2) and Prince of Persia The Two Thrones (PC) two games which I'm really enjoying, and at a reduced price thanks to my belated purchase.

In the meantime I look forward to trying the Moto GP demo.

Gears of War, Mass Effect and Saint's Row will all be worth the wait.

And in case you didn't know, I, too, am kind of a big thing.

Semi-threadjack... was there any official announcement during E3 on a higher-capacity hard drive for the 360? I ask because with all this content, my hard drive is starting to fill up. I'd like to keep most of the content.
Which leads to another question... will MS have a solution for transferring data from an old 20GB hard drive to a new, higher-capacity one? Someone please say yes. It'd be nice if they had some official kiosk or something where you could transfer your content from the old drive to the new one.

These are mine:

1. Halo 3 Game Trailer
Duh
5. X-Men: The Last Stand Pack
Cmon free and like 100kb...
6. Gears of War Game Trailer
Can't wait for this game. Must have (for me)
9. Fable 2 Trailer
Waiting for this
10. Uno Xbox Live Arcade Game
Duh... awesomeness

Since I've consistently had my XBL connection for just 2-3 weeks, I had to download demos of GRAW, Fight Night 3, and Burnout, and couldn't get to these new demos.

And in these weeks, my HDD space has gone from 13GB to 6-7GB... wtf I need more space

That's a good question, cuz I've been wondering the same thing, I download as many demos and whatnot as I can and i dont wanna have to delete them

I downloaded everything on the list except Uno (and I won't get it... I can't bring myself to play video game card games for the same reason i can't bring myself to play video game paintball). I also downloaded most of the other E3 related content. GoW and Lost Planet of course have me the most excited, but I was happy to see the footage of Hitman: Blood Money too; it looks a lot better than I was expecting (though not great by any stretch)

I think I read somewhere on www.xbox.com that if you buy something online you can always download it again for free. even if you delete it off your system. So I think if you get the new HD you might just need to download everything again. As far as game safes and stuff I don't know, maybe thats what that bigger memory card if for. And why on earth can't you use a external HD for content at least, like trailers and stuff. I heck even demos, I can understand the stuff you purchase, but free stuff should be alowed to be stored anywhere, even on your pc over a network!

You want to clear up some space? Delete those music and videos on the HD that was preinstalled.

I downloaded 8 out of 10 of those (and plenty more that weren't on there). I think it was a great way to bring HD videos of E3 to all the regular gamers that couldn't be there. I'm very impressed with all the content they released, and I hope it only gets bigger and better every year.

I downloaded halo and gow trailer and all 3 demos, pretty good...Alan Wake trailer also one of my favs. Off topic a bit but i just got my 360 a week ago and how come it only states that i have 11 GB of free space when its suppose to be 20?

you only start with 13gig on the 360 harddrive because of the allready pre loaded content, and a portion is saved for disk caching and game saves oh and downloaded content (ithink) as for the larger harddrive i reckon its goning to be announced at the same time as the camera and hd-dvd drive alongside a big arcade update with all the new games. heres hoping
