Is Ubisoft or Microsoft going to release the show floor demo of Splinter Cell Double Agent on Xbox Live in the near future.

Come on now, stop ignoring all the people asking for an update on the PDZ maps. Any info you've got on them would be nice at this point.

Whoa that demo is pretty large, something that has been concering me is what are we meant to do when our HD's are full? We need a much bigger one for all this stuff, I'm down to like 5gb.

So far the content on the marketplace is awesome. I've downloaded most of the trailers and demos and can honestly say that it rocks.

It beats having to wait for ages when an xbox mag drops through the door just to see some out of date and i must say inferior quality trailers from a cover disc.

This is what the marketplace is really about.

There have been some truely wicked trailers: Stranglehold
Dead Rising
Gears Of War
Lost Planet
Alan Wake
Too Human.... the list could go on and on.

Including the backstage pass and not forgetting the Lost Planet demo. A ++++ Dudes.

p.s. we got to see MajorNelson on some of the vids on xbox.com as well. Cool.

If its playable at E3 for the 360 then it should be on the marketplace for the public.

I got the H3 theme, and everything looks great, EXCEPT the 'Personal Options' half-blade, which looks like, well, nothing (washed out crud). I was wondering if anyone else sees this (or maybe I have a corrupted download?)

PERFECT DARK ZERO MAPS ???

MAJOR, HOW EXACTLY DOES MICROSOFT DEFINE "SOON"

Other then that you guys have done a tremendous job in the Marketplace during this years E3 !!!!

# May 11, 2006 9:29 AM

Easy way to see if it is corrupted:

Delete it, then download it again.

# May 11, 2006 9:32 AM

Anon 13

No Just because it is for play at E3 does not mean it HAS to be on the XBLM. What if the demo at teh show has major issues and could ruin the system ? You want that to happen ?

# May 11, 2006 9:32 AM

Anon 14

If E3 showed me one thing it would be that the 360 is the best next gen console!!

If E3 showed me two things it would be that the 360 needs a "LARGER HARD DRIVE" !!!!!

JGoodwin:

Yeah, on the way to work I thought of that, but I have to wait until I get back home to test it out. I was hoping someone could tell me if they saw a nice half-blade or not.

# May 11, 2006 9:34 AM

Honestly, there are only a few things I'm interested in as far as XBLM downloads go: Demos (not trailers); XBLA games; game content. Something that would be more interesting would be a BC update, a real one, one that adds games.

# May 11, 2006 9:34 AM

Anon 17

any word on Perfect Dark Zero maps??

# May 11, 2006 9:35 AM

Anon 18

another damo!!! Coooooooool thanks Major :)

Hopefully GoW demo next? :D

I am so impressed with how the Xbox Live Marketplace was handled with the E3 content. I love coming home from work and downloading new demos, trailers, themes, and Gamerpics.

The only minor gripe (very minor) is that at peak times the downloads are slow (and I have a scorching fast connection, so it's not me).

Please let everyone at Microsft know what a great job they have done. Kudos.

I have gotten the Xbox Live gamerpictures.
I will be using them during the E3 and next Free events.
They look awesome, but it is just that it is that easy to spot using the GRAW ones. ;-)

*just bring it*

# May 11, 2006 9:38 AM

Anon 21

if it has major issues then it wouldn't be playable at E3 at all

# May 11, 2006 9:45 AM

MAJOR IS THIS CORRECT:

FROM: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/265429

>>>>>>>>>>>

Rsx pipelines
-24 shader pipelines.
-each pipeline produces 5.7 ops.{(shader opperations per second)
-a total of 136 sops
ATI pipelines
-48 shader pipelines.
-each pipeline produces 2 ops
-a total of 96 sops.{(shader opperations per second)

Now you think...but wait this is only shader operations. Wrong, since the ps3 pipelines can produce that many sops, it is goign to do the same with all its opperations. that is why the rsx's pipelines are so strong. Even the normal pipelines of Nvideas cards are stronger than the ATI.
ATI's pipelines are extreemly weak.
Ps3 wins graphically.

CARE TO COMMENT ON THIS ANYONE ???

To the above:

"This message has been edited since posting. Last time this message was edited on 3. December 2005 @ 19:25"

Perhaps the information is not exact, I haven't checked myself.

regarding the H2 theme. It's not corrupted that Personal blade background is a washout. I can't see what's selected. Who do we ask about this Live or Bungie?
