Click this link to find out what time the maintenance will begin in your time zone.

This is for maintenance, there are no new features that will appear when the service comes back online.
This is all for server maintenanceâ€¦nothing more, nothing less.

You can now download a demo of 'Chromehounds' from the Xbox Live Marketplace. This free demo is available in all Xbox Live regions EXCEPT the U.S. and Canada. Yes, you read that right...this demo is not available in the U.S. or Canada.

Oh, and The Outfit has an update available next time you play/connect to Live.

Lots of bad reviews of the Chromehounds demo coming in but I really liked it. Gives you a pretty good sense of scale with people on the ground and trees and stuff - most buildings being destructable.

I suspect the multiplayer in the full version could be fun-fun-fun.

What's the difference between this and the Top Spin 2 demo released a month or two ago?

You play at Wimbledon, complete with an "obviously American actor putting on an accent" English umpire. Been a while since I played the last demo, but I think everything else is the same.

Hmmm, i'll download it anyway - not like they're charging for it.

Thanks for the info.
