That was not Ken's decision. At this point with the game, the demo being released on the 360 first... that was Microsoft's decision.
Once again they pimp their little baby (the 360) and ignore the PC community.

Erm you do realize because everyones downloading it at the same time it's not downloading as fast right?
If you was downloading at the full speed of a 30 meg connection (around 3000 kb/s) then the demo would probably take less than 10 minutes to download.
Mine is downloading like a snail and I have a 20 meg connection, which is about 2300kb/s when I download from Usenet, it would take about 7 minutes for a 1.3gb file at top speed.

ok... just finished downloading and playing the demo.
bad news, it's horrible. i am sorely disappointed with it.A few minutes ago you said you finished playing and you loved it. Stop lying, you don't have it dled at all, do you? :p
Igor, you fool!

I have just downloaded and played the demo and don't know what to make of it.
It appears to be the bathysphere ride down to Rapture, but it looks like you're careening down a muddy track in a wheeled contraption while someone shouts directions in your ear.
Oh no! I've downloaded Colin Mcrae's DIRT instead of Bioshock!
Now THAT'S comedy!:p

Hehe. Elizabeth just told me that she thinks the Demo killed xbox live. It's a hit that's for sure.
woot woot 70%. I haven't eaten all day waiting for this. I had my xbox on before the announcement and was on the bioshock tab. I'm such a GEEK.:cool:

I would tend to agree! YOu gotta love it! Kinda reminds me of the Simpsons Episode where they watch people riot at the stores for Funzo to forcast sales...
"Why would you wear cleats to a sale?!?"
Am I the only one taking a list minute opportuity to make sure your controller batteries are all charged up?
The wife just announced that she's going to bed, but since the Xbox is at the foot of the bed, I gotta wonder where she's gonna sleep. I certainly know where I am gonna sleep tommorow, but the dog looked lonely anyways...
I have been reading that if you were not in the first 100 people in the market place its just kaput.

I REALLY just wanna sleep and let the thing download, but:
1. 360 might break due to heat
2. I gotta manage the download and make sure it doesn't quit, since it's done that once before
And I may be *****ing, but I'm REALLY tired. To the point where walking is an attempt in itself and my eyes do literally hurt.
God, I've never been so hyped for a game in my life...
Btw, did anyone know that there was a somewhat maybe not so much but of course in a way playable demo of BioShock on marketplace?

Wow, xbox marketplace is really pushing it out right now. My connection pretty much exploded within 30 seconds of the announcement. The Killing Point isnt a bad show either! :D :D
I'm doing like 1% every 2 min on my slow ass 30 meg. Since everyone said it was Ill believe it.
82% Im loving this. I might be one of the first to play it. MAYBE. I don't know.

08-13-2007, 12:04 AM
I'm sure there are many, many, probably hundreds if not thousands of people that don't use this forum who immediately went to download it as soon as the announcement was made.
Can everyone please pause their download so mine can speed up??
I'll let you know when it's done. kthanks :)

If you are below 70%, even 50% - stop your downloads. In the morning, start your downloads back up and they will download much faster. This is the same thing that happened with Stranglehold demo.

Ive heard that background dls are faster when your 360 is off, rahter than sitting there and dling it. do this, its legit.

not now thanks to the newer dashboard update. dude just go to the last blade in the 360 dashboard, console settings, shutdown, and then enable background dls. then cut ur 360 off and go to town lol.
HOLY CRAP.... un-freakin-believable

Poopy, there is an option to shutdown the demo and keep the current downloads in action.. i think it is somewhere on the settings menu. look for it there. whether or not the background d/l is faster, i don't know. i don't see why it would be that much faster.
just keep downloading... as people finish, it will start speeding up...hopefully.

Best game of the year or best game ever.
The demo was an incredible success. The clips at the end were amazing.
If you hadn't already sold me I'd be begging for a chance to get this game. Marketing A++.
The atmosphere is something that just can't be truly absorbed watching videos. You have to feel the world respond to you. It's fantastic.
I genuflect to you Take 2.
It was obviously a labor of love. Thanks.
