If it doesn´t come out next tuesday...I will lost hope
Somebody said this is one of the many rumored reason's why Our demo is not released yet. I got this off of another forum.
The reason why Xbox is not getting a demo until an unspecified date is because of the new Halo Map Pack being released. Halo is Xbox "bread and butter" and they make big money off of these map packs. They need people to stay focused on the Map Pack for a couple weeks and then they will release the demo for Xbox. It sucks to have to wait but at least we have Halo.
If 1/4 of all Halo users download the map pack @ 800 points they would be looking at half a million bucks give or take . Most of that money would be profit. Now if people are focused on a free MK demo (which would appeal to alot of Halo fans), money might be lost on an already heavily promoted DLC. Follow the money baby!

I for one find that to be Bull*** if that is true, Because Microsoft is a Multi-$BILLION$ dollar industry. But Hey, Like our freind said in his forum post."Follow The Money Baby!"
I'm sorry, but whoever posted that is incorrect. Halo fans are going to buy the map pack whether or not a free demo is out for a game they might be interested in.
The only reasons I can guess would be A.) Certification. But I doubt it would take this long for that. Or B.) Sony bought timed exclusive rights. I see that as far more likely. Especially since we haven't really heard any X-box related news in terms of MK yet.
wow....i wanna stay positive in these forums but, seriously? Halo is postponing this demo?....wow....i feel like taking my xbox and throwing it out my window and buy a ps3 just because Microsoft is money hungry and makes us all pay for online. then sold us broken xboxs (red ring of death). like really?...these people have taken me to my last straw.......unbelievable.
Just do what I did; just don't care anymore. haha. I no longer care about the demo, and I won't download it when it comes out. I can wait 24 days, especially now that I bought Soul Calibur IV, and I'm also creating MK characters in it =Di just want a release date is that to much to ask for ? if they said the demo isn't coming out until after the 19th i would be fine with it. its the not knowing thats pissing me off.
That's what I was thinking. I think they might give a release date this tuesday on the 29th and then it will come out on April 5th.I honestly don't think they know what's happening either (in regards
to a timeframe/release date). PS3 demo got announced a week
before release, so it's safe to say we'll get a similar announcement
before the 360 demo is released.
Its not because of Halo guys, thats just stupid fanboy speculation. It has to be because of Sony's many CLEAR exclusivity deals. I dont know why some people are in denial of that, its clear thats whats happened to this game. Either way, its Microsoft's fault that this is happening to us.

I've already gotten spoiled enough from people on here that don't know how to use spoiler tags and/or post in the spoilers forum. I think allowing spoilers on this forum in the first place was a bad idea. If they handed out bans for spoilers it would have gotten taken care of quickly.
