Why do you feel that there are more UMD demos available than downloadable demos......I don't think it makes sense. Shouldn't EVERY demo be availible in both formats???
The only reason I see is that an offer for a free demo is a somewhat decent marketing point for pre-selling a title.
Please discuss. |

But this will change over the next year or so. Simple economics: online distrobution is free, but mailing and fabrication of the UMD costs money and time (I'm leaving out the fact that both systems of demoing cost money to program the demo in the first place. It is irrelevant to this topic). Making both formats still incurres extra costs. I think that with in the next year, there will be more downloadable demos then UMD ones.

I still havnt recieved any UMD Demo's, not even my Gangs of London, but yeah more normal Demo's should be available. |

Come on you have to admit it, you do feel more "exclusive" getting a UMD demo than downloading it. | |
