I'm hoping you have a nice juicy demo or 2 for us UKers today.

Maybe a demo from a game I'd actually buy ;)

2k sucks... I wish a good baseball game would get released for this console... or at least make the cricket games available in the States... that's almost like baseball, except it's a bit funnier.

I agree with the rest of my UK gamers, and think that if microsoft dont stop just making stuff available in the US that people will start feeling hard done by and either switch consoles or leave the gaming community. Xbox is easily the best console but because microsoft seems to only want to build an empire in the states other countries like th UK have little choice but to use other consoles were there intrests are keep at heart. Also i know no-one whos had to get the PS3 replaced as much as i had to in the first 3 months. I had my 360 replaced 5 times, once because it chose to catch fire. MICROSOFT GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND THINK ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES BUT THE US!!!!

The reason you guys (the UK) don't get as much content as us is because microsoft is located in the USA and thats where it was built okay......

You guys are lucky that microsoft even supports live in other countries and continents. (and they give you a lot of content anyways)

If you want content (<---UK People) then build your own d.a.m.n. video game company

Matthew M G - haha its funny you should say about it all being a ploy. I'm actually in the first steps of emigrating at the moment, not to the US tho.

To everyone else I appologise for bitching, I'm just pretty sick of this country

tell you what.....

its a good job we dont take the same stance on helping your ass in other countries day in day out.....isn't it.....

not bothered how you paint it...its a bloody disgrace, make us pay £25 a year and i wont say a dam word...keep charging us the same, AND screwing us at the same time...is not fair...

and dont call us moaners, because i know for a fact, if the boot was on the other foot, the blog would over heat with you lot moaning....it happened once a few weeks a go, on one demo and you lot went apoplectic.....

This is very tiresome, no not because of the localised content to the US and Canadians, but because NO baseball games ever get released in the UK fully, and I guess The Bigs will be no different, hence no demo for us.

We get NBA, NFL, even (and even more bogglingly) damn Ice Hockey, but never ever any baseball. We have our own Ice Hockey leagues, but I don't know anyone who ever goes to see it live, yet I hear plenty of people who love Baseball and have their favourite teams from the MLB here in the UK.

I wish 2K would take a risk and publish it, they may be surprised at the take up within Europe.

@Matthew M G:

Yay for the Dr. Who and Torchwood shout outs! Can't wait for tonight's episode. =)

I Jimi B I--

Seriously, it's all a ploy to get you to move over to the USA and become a citizen so you can get all of this cool stuff on your system.

Of course, you'll have to make do with American Football and Baseball, cricket is right out, rugby is only a club/recreational sport at best, and Soccer is more about Beckham than it ever was in the U.K. But hey, you can get TV and movie downloads. ;)

And if it makes you feel any better, we get shafted on having to wait 6-12 months for seasons of Dr. Who, and they haven't even brought over/started Torchwood yet. :|

@ th3ultimate13x

I have to admit that I just grabbed it from a random post on the xbox.com forums. I'm just annoyed that I'm on my third 360 and Microsoft continues to act like only 10 people can't access their downloadable content offline because it is tied to the actual console, unless validated online by gamertag. It's a problem that affects a lot of people and I believe that it needs to be fixed.

I dont mind this demo, but i mean the game did come out like 2 weeks ago, so its definitely not a main showing at e3.

@ TH3Hammer.

Reviewed your link. That has got to be the single most mis-representation of the news and reporting of the comments made by Peter Moore & company that I have EVER seen. Is that even a real news site? That reporter should be ashamed.

Please go to the below link for all the details and comments made by Microsoft and exactly what they said about the issue. Or just go to a more reputable game news reporting site like Gamespot.com.
