Halo 3 Demo..

[Fidgits]

Uh oh.

I've just been reading this: www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halo3/20070511-mulitplayerbeta.htm?WText.camp=HR1-Halo3Beta&WText.campSrc=Home

It seems if you want to use Crackdown to play the Halo 3 demo... well you need the disc WHENEVER you want to play it... so you cant just download it and sell Crackdown (or do it through a rental!)...


Somewhat annoying, but hey ho, may as well see if the demo's worth it..

Yeah I knew that from the start. You can only access it through the crackdown main menu, hence needing the disc.

i knew about the download, i didnt realise you needed the game to play the demo!

Its a daft way to do things isn't it. Just Microsoft wanting more money from you.

I figured the Demo key was just to get more Crackdown sales, it seems an odd way to do it, but oh well..

Crackdown is a fun game and the Halo 3 beta is icing on the cake.

Everyone had an opportunity to sign up for the beta. If you missed it then Crackdown is your only way in now...

yeah, a whole 10,000 places IF you had played Halo 2 on the 360... which went in, what, 10 minutes?

[JagLover]

Anyone played the demo?

What's it like?

I'm very excited about this one.

It'll appear on a PC near you sooner or later. Halo was never going to appear... and did. Same for Halo 2.
