Both post-release of their full versions.

I'd prefer to see demos before the full version releases - it fits better with the "try it before you buy it" method. The way the Marketplace is working right now is vice versa, "Buy it before you try it." Only Battlefield 2, Full Auto, FNR3, The Outfit (debuted a whooping 1 day before the full game came out) and Blazing Angels have come to the Marketplace before their full versions released.

Trailers are the same way, you can view most of these trailers on the internet weeks to months before they hit the Marketplace. And I know MS states "but we have HD" - well, so do the online ones so its no excuse.

They put the Fifa demo's out after the game as they're not normally up to much when you play them. I might give it a look though. I'll give top spin 2 a try too, thanks for the info

What about the demo for Perfect Dark Zero? I read a week or two there was suppose to be one, but have not seen it on Marketplace yet. Am I just over looking it on the dashboard somewhere?

Meh. Lost Planet demo May 9th will also follow to be released before the full version. Sports demos are not something to be excited about unless it was before release.

the purpose of a demo is to play before u buy (in my opinion) so its pointless to release it after the game is already out.

Exactly why every game should have 1 demo before it comes out!

They promised May 9. We'll see if they will actually live to it.
