This does require you to have a Xbox Live Gold account, but you really ought to have that anyways.

I thought demos were available to people with Silver accounts too?

Anyway, jbourne77, definitely look into the Live Arcade games.... especially if you are married or otherwise have an SO. My wife loves those games, especially the puzzle games. There are plenty of good games yet to come too. I'm particularly looking forward to Lumines Live and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Yes, you just need a Silver account to download demos, videos, themepacks, XBL Arcade games, friends lists, text messages, voice messages etc. The Gold account is only for playing others online.

The women love the XBLA card games.

So I started diving into Xbox Live Marketplace last night. Downloaded some vids and demos. What a sweet service! I downloaded GRAW - a game I never would have purchased otherwise - only to find out that FPS's *CAN* be fun on a console! I'll probably pick it up this afternoon. Going to try MotoGP when I get home.
