It seems like more people than just me wanted to play Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. According to LucasArts, Star Wars was downloaded over 1 Million times in just 8 days on Xbox Live and that was just here in the US. LucasArts states worldwide downloads exceeded 2.3 million times. Again keep in mind, these numbers were only the first 8 days of it’s release.

Having the ability to download a demo these days is such a great way of letting the consumer play something before they buy it. With the endless amount of information we have online to see if a game is worth purchasing and the option to download a demo, forces gaming companies to make better products. No longer are the days where the gamer buys a crapy game. I this point if we do buy something that ends up sucking, we really should only blame ourselves for not being informed.
