£19.99 for Mass Effect 
its a good game but you can get it for about a tenner now pre-owned.(and Carbon believe it or not!) In my personal opinion, they're too expensive on both consoles. If you bought a game that didnt have a box or instructions you wouldnt pay £20 for it. If you dont even have a disc I doubt you'd pay a fiver for it. On demand means I want it now - the pace of the doanloads is mind numbing. Luckily I wasnt playing online and left it running whilst I did other things - but if I also wanted to play online forget it. £20 for a game and you'll end up simply deleting it when you want a new one.Bender Unit wrote:Not only that its the tediously slow download speed!
I had a day off on Friday and it took 5 hours to download a 1.2gb demo!
Also anothet thing that hacks me off is that despite being so stupidly slow to download it also uses up all my bandwidth so I cant use the internet in the mean time.
Nothing on the PC is as fast.

Did the demo launch that day by any chance?
Even so my downloads normally take about 15 mins on the xbox.

you really must have a bad internet connection.
Rev 3 GTS/ Laptop but as soon as I download anything from MS its dire. It uses all available bandwidth and yet the download speed is shocking. / XBOX thing. I did a few searches and it seems its a big issue. It also seems to be a lottery, some people get lightening fast downloads, others it takes all day to download a demo. Its not even like I am downloading at peak times / or new releases. I am now downloading the Xbox orginal Pirates (loved it on the Amiga) and thats going so slowly its unreal - cant thing there is a mad downloading rush on that game!- downloaded stuff in the past and it was fine, now live is borderline useless for anything by playing games. Even the video's they host dont download, left one for 30 mins and it still hadnt downloaded anything - others say the same.Rev 3 GTS- not bad for a 16 meg connection .... ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}

With the 360 downloaded I managed to do a speed test
Rev 3 GTS(wired) and PC garbage (wireless, that'll be why then)(CAT5/ethernet based power supplies) and you shouldnt have any problems
