We’ll keep this short. Though shunned when it came to a beta (for whatever reasons), 360 owners can now experience what the PS3 kids have been blathering on about for so long. A demo for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is now available to download on Xbox Marketplace.
The announcement came via the official Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Twitter account.
Surprise Reveal: Xbox 360 Battlefield Bad Company MP Demo is live on Xbox Marketplace! Go get it!!!!!!!
What are you waiting for?
Update: Despite telling us to “Go get it”, there is nothing there yet to actually get. It is on the Marketplace website so we’re assuming it’s coming real soon. The download weighs in at 1.35 GB, and is the Port Valdez map.

As far as I can see it’s not actually on Xbox.com yet. Second time I’ve checked and it’s still not up

BBC2 certainly looks better than camp/noob fest MW2, might think about it when it comes out. Will there be a demo for PS3?

I can’t find that date anywhere….
You know, it’s not too impossible for the PS3 demo to be part of the PSN update later today.

Ooh, excellent. What game mode is that map? I’m hoping for some conquest, I prefer that over (gold) rush.

Ok have found it! Weirdly not there if you search, and not linked to the game’s page but it’s in the new arrivals. As it’s online only it’s (of course) gold exclusive. So anyone with a 360, queue it up http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/games/offers/0ddf0001-0000-4000-8000-0000454188ab
