I SERIOUSLY CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY HEADHUNTER!

lol didn't know about core, that sucks.

Brian I'm merely referring to the business practice itself. Not the practicality or effectiveness of demos.
To me E.A. claiming that demos are too expensive and that they need to charge for them now is laughable. Don't XBLA players already pay for them? (as stated below).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't demos serve as a way for developers to improve their game and learn about bugs and glitches that internal testing misses?

Example:
So heres a demo of Battlefield Bad Company 3 ... its 5.99 and you get TWO levels instead of the one for BBC2's demo. Now pay the 69 99 for the game once its done... OH and there's some free and paid DLC coming post launch too .. woohoo...

Maybe you're not the type to try out games before they come out, but many ppl do.

BTW this should be a slap in the face to all the wagon-riders, loving EA after the activision / infinity ward split. FACT: they are both major organizations, and the quarterly results matter way WAY more than any gamer or group of gamers.

wow you're right! Never thought of that, I will say; the differences between PSN and XBLA are almost non-existent nowadays. I mean having played around with it quite a bit ( and being a 360 owner ) Ive began to have trouble justifying XBL's pricetag.
