Jesus, I think they're crazy... Releasing a 1.07GB DEMO?! Didn't they ever heard of MP3 compression for sounds and better archiving solutions that what Installshield has to offer? Bah, I really won't be getting this one

1GiG!!! Cripes, I been pissed about the 300+ meg demos!

For a gig, it had better be a full version beta or somin.

What's 99% likely to happen if I actually leech this monster is that I unpack it and everything looks good, until it crashes when I start it. Sadly I want to check this demo out..

Well, it is the full version, but limited to 5 days trial (it's yet another MMORPG, but this one's from Westwood, hence it might be good). I still don't understand why they couldn't use some elementary packing techniques to make it smaller. They're killing a huge portion of potential audience for the game.

Shows what happens when I post under the influence

I was beta-tester for E&B, I enrolled in phase 7, any of u betatested it?

anywho, It's really kick-ass and very addictive......I prefer Silent Hill2, tho....

Where's that stoopid COIN??!!!

The concept of being able to try a full game for five days interests me, and is something I'm sure we'll see more of in the future. More and more people are getting broadband connections, so more people can download larger files. Piracy is obviously a problem for the developers, but it's not like every Joe Schmoe has access to such. A time limited full-version demo is cool because in five days you should be able to figure out whether you like a game or not, and you won't have to worry about features not being in, or the annoyance of finishing every demo level.

I beta tested it, played it for about 5 days then off it went. It isn't a bad game, I just didn't really care for it that much. It is pretty though
