ai_Droid Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Wootang! See the trailer is up on kotaku too, looks amazing. Trying to talk my wife thought he download over the phone so it's ready when I get home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsticks Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'll let you know what I think in a couple of hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsticks Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 And it just crapped out again at 2%..... Fortunately it does seem to remember where it was up to, so I've kicked off the download again and it's started at 2%. Form to date suggests it will get to 3% and then crap out again, so I'll have to start it again from 3%. ai_Droid, you're going to have to ring your missus and instruct her that she will not be moving away from your 360 all day, and that she will be expected to intervene 100 times in the course of getting the Bioshock demo ready for you to play when you get home. Also tell her that you want your tea on the table when you get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsticks Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hmmmm a couple of hours might be somewhat optimistic, I can only assume Microsoft's servers are getting a serious hammering at the moment, I'd say total data throughput is around 30-40KB/s at best (a 2 meg line maxed out would be 235KB/s), so getting 1.35GB is going to take a long time. On top of that, the download decided to crap out before it had even hit 2%, and informed me that it had finished (when of course it hadn't), so I've had to start it again. I would definitely recommend you give your wife a call to get the download kicked off ai_Droid, it might just have finished by the time you get home from work..... UPDATE - Download now at 2% - woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Flying down for me, at 70% already, but It'll probably stall... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsticks Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'm up to 74% now. Obviously Slim is actually Bill Gates' secret boyfriend, since he has access to the fast download servers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
