Same here as well. I just took that as a sign to put COD2 in and play that instead.

Stupid Microsoft! Why are they releasing the COD2 maps on Wednesday?! Don't they know DVDTalk COD2 night is on Tuesday?!

When I got home today, I turned on my Xbox, checked the marketplace, and just started downloading like crazy. I'm not even interested in half of the stuff they put up today (well, I guess its yesterday now), but I was downloading anyways. I don't know, I just get excited whenever new stuff gets put up on the marketplace... especially when its FREE stuff.

It has potential... I like the sandbox element to it. However they don't do a good job on these demos making it clear that it is not final product quality. I'd have a huge "DEMO. NOT FINAL CODE" watermark on screen during the whole thing, because people play a demo and assume the final release will be crappy.

I don't like that I can't drive into the ocean. Everytime I find a great hill to just plummet down on my way to committing suicide in the ocean, the second I hit the beach it resets my car.

Test Drive seems ok to me. The Shelby did not handle that great. It also froze on me the second time I tried it. Maybe the servers are crashing....

The graphics seemed nice....the open gameplay is interesting. I may pass on this though.

The last day or so, my xbox 360 won't turn off by using the controller and using the guide button to shut of the console. What happens is the green lights go off, but I can hear the fans and the unit still on. I can however turn off the console by going up to it and hitting the power button. Anyone else have this problem and is there a solution? Other then that, my unit works fine(knocks on wood).

I am still having issues loosing my connection with Xbox live. I have been using a wireless bridge but I now have it hard wired with a router and and I am still getting dropped while I try to download demo's. Any ideas. I am using Cox cable with 4mb down.

downloading at a speed that would let any snail win in a race here. I'm on an average of around 1% increase every minute now. I'm going to just finish this one file and quit for now.

I forgot all about people getting LIVE for free this week. That explains my troubles last night. I couldn't stay on LIVE long enough to even finish a dl.

Any chance they might add the option of making a note of people on your friend's list? They need to expand on some of the friends/players options like notes and sorting and keeping track of preferred/avoided players.

If this just started yesterday, then it might be all the traffic with the E3 content and free Gold Live access.

If not, have you checked out this page on xbox.com? http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/co...ods/router.htm

Couldn't hurt. If you have access to a friend's router (and it's different from yours) you might try that too, to rule out it being a problem with your router. Also, you could try bypassing the router and connecting directly to your internet connection and seeing if that helps.

Good luck.
