'I was wondering how long it takes yall to download a demo its going relaly slow for me and im running 54mps and on road runner

 

[ZForce]

are you referring to the Arcade demos, or that big NBA Live Demo? The Arcade demos only take me about 2 minutes

 

[xbox23]

yes im talking about the game demos, live, nfs, kameo

 

[GizmoGC]

Most of the game demos are close to a Gig each...so it can take a while if others are trying to download at the same time. Try doing it at night...shouldn't be that bad.

1 gig... WoW!

Great news, when you want to try a game before buying...

 

[Eastsidecracker]

Can you download and play singleplayer at the same time?

And you have a 54mbps connection, wow, i have 1.5.

i downloaded the 1 gig demo in 20 minutes : /

 

[xbox23]

[savestheday888]

Downloading the live demo took me about 20 minutes. And then only 5 to delete it off the hard drive after I played it. HAha!

I downloaded NFS:MW 1 Gig in about 90 minutes on slowish SBC DSL.

There is no way you are getting 54mps on road runner. I have road runner and get 6mps. I know there are some slight differences with speeds around the country but not 48mbs. And to answer your question, it takes about 20 minutes to download a demo.

i have Comcast super connect 10 Mbps down and 3.0 Mbps up and it takes me like 14 min on my 360, granted thats not that long, but on my pc 1 gig takes about 8 to 8.30 minutes. I believe it mostly has to do with there servers

I think he means he running Wireless-G at 54mbps and he's using Roadrunner as his ISP.

Cool, now I know to ignore any opinion you have in the future. Burnout and NFS are two different styles of game. Burnout's an arcade racer. NFS is a racer.

im taking about graphics wise, it was nothing spectacular not as great as PGR3, looked only slightly better than burnout revenge, the gameplay seems as if they are trying to mimick Burnout, which there is nothing wrong with that, it's just that the gameplay sucks. lol and i could give a rats ass if you value my opinion or not
