Looks like someone hit the wrong switch. I thought it was the Silver members who had to wait a week, not the Gold members. Oh man . . . this is too funny.

I'm sure they'll sort it out soon . . . but in the meantime, this is really funny.

Ironic =)

I think part of the idea might be to save load from the servers. It's a lame excuse though as demos should be available for everyone at the same time. Some more free stuff would'nt hurt as well. Packs for older games etc.

I wonder how hard it is to just change its availability from Silver to Gold members.

Woah, the whole concept of paying for something that could easily be made accessible to everyone is just wrong.

And people are paying for it.

This demo is old (at least in the states). Plus, it wasn't that great anyway.

I think this was actually a gift in surprise from Microsoft. This game sucked really bad in my opinion so the less people that can access it the better.

Then again... maybe I just don't understand the point of the game. I'm just rolling over mail men and benches and stuff and then it tells me how large I got when I'm done. huh?

Why would Gold members have to wait? If Microsoft knows about the mistake shouldn't they fix it right then? Does it take hours to make a simple change?

This is one big problem with Xbox Live. They have people who ay and people who don't. Why not make it all free and just put stuff up for everyone? Why create classes online? Not that the yearly fee is that much but why not make it a part of the Xbox and not charge extra?
