From VE3D : Mass Effect 2 Demo & Overlord DLC Released

The Mass Effect 2 phenomenon rages on! BioWare, a division of Electronic Arts Inc., today launches a demo for Mass Effect 2 on Xbox Live and PC. Designed to help introduce the rich Mass Effect fiction to all-new players, the demo features the first two missions of the game as well as one bonus mission, totaling over 90 minutes of the action-packed game play and rich storytelling that have made Mass Effect 2 one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time. BioWare is releasing the demo with a “Story-so-far” video, narrated by actor Martin Sheen that provides a recap of past events and plot twists in the Mass Effect universe.
In the demo, players step into the role of Commander Shepard and must escape from a Cerberus space station under siege. Players can jump ahead to a later mission where they must rescue Subject Zero, a hardened, dangerous criminal from a heavily guarded prison ship. Once they play the demo, players will be able to create a save and carry over their character along with the experience points, story decisions, achievements and weapons earned into the full version of the game – picking up right where they left off , on both PC and Xbox 360.

BioWare also announced today that players already in the game can download a new game add-on called “Overlord”, adding five new areas and two new achievements. Available June 15, the game add-on is available for 560 Microsoft points and on PC for 560 BioWare points. Also on June 15, BioWare is releasing a new premium theme based on Omega and new avatar items for Xbox Live will follow on June 17.

Download the English-language PC demo here, and the Xbox 360 demo here (other versions, for both platforms, available here).

Interesting, did Mass Effect 1 have a playable demo? IIRC, the last Bioware game to have one was NWN1 and it was not much of a demo.
 
All I have to say is I'd better be able to buy exactly 560 BioWare points and not a point more because I doubt I'd ever use them for anything else.

That is, if I even get the DLC. I doubt it's worth it. DLC rarely is.
