Downloable Demos during e3.

It makes perfect sense. Hell the PSP could use some.

I think Sakaguchi mentioned that they'll be releasing a [b[short[/b] demo of Lost Odyssey around e3.

Are there plans for any other downloable demos?
 
To be honest, I dont expect too many. At least not during E3. They'll probably release most of the demos throughout the year
 
I would expect at least one game to be downloadable right at the time of the keynote so they can do the same as Fight Night and say "Oh and a demo is available for download right now!"

Considering how immensely popular it was at Nintendo's booth, they'd be stupid not to have it again.

omg, thanks a lot, i totally forgot about this! Cant wait to see what they have. Even though im too young to go to e3 i can enjoy some of the DS demos using this like i did last year, cant wait! I hope for NSMB!
 
There's no reason why it couldn't be done for every 360 game. Videos and demos, preferably

Maybe the Dashboard will get an update to allow streaming video...streaming Microsoft conference in 720p FTW! :D

that makes NO sense afterall. the e3 is not a consumer show. all the important people can get a sneak peep an the various games for free. why should sony then make downloadable demos?

more likely are consumer trade shows like the games convention in germany.
 
i really hope MS puts up HD trailers at least on the marketplace. demos would be cool, but somehow i kind of doubt it. we'll see though.
 
I'm expecting the trailers - some demos would be a bonus. I want an HD trailer of Blue Dragon to tide me over until a translation in 2007
 
(in regards to 360)

i'd say trailers.

demos... possibly. Depends on what condition the game is.

Remember! E3 is for media, it gives them a sample of products prior to release. They would go back and write little hands on for it and what not. But your regular consumer could take that very same demo and make conclusions about the game even though it's not finished.

Still, I hope they have the conference feed up for download. :>

So the people at E3 don't have to wait in line to play the games.
 
I doubt there will be many for 360. I'm sure DS and PSP will have downloadable demos to play on the floor though.
