Is it just me, or has this new Xbox Live update really borked things up? I already had SF3. Ms. Splosion Man, and Bejeweled Blitz Live saved to my 360 as demos. In the past, when buy a demo as a full game, it unlocked in a fraction of a second. Now, the whole game has to re-download. Not only that, with SF3, I got kicked off of Xbox Live and had to turn the whole console off.

Another thing--I have two Xbox 360's. Me and my daughter jump from console to console using our flash drives. Last night, my daughter couldn't log in on my older 360. We had to type in my windows Live ID and a Password (which is a cumbersome ordeal). No matter what I typed in, it wouldn't work. I wound up going back to my new 360, changing my password, and then going back to the older 360 and logging in that way. In an attempt to make things more secure, Microsoft is really inconveniencing me.

Yea I believe I had the same problem when I downloaded limbo. I had the demo saved up, but when I bought the game, unlike before the whole game had to redownload. Its a bit stupid but what the heck.

I just bought Bastion a few days ago. I already had it downloaded in demo form and when I bought it the game just unlocked. That's odd that you would have to re-download it though.

 

Edit: One thing I have noticed though is that now I have to download each individual download for games where as before they would all be bundled together so that is rather annoying.
