    what happened to the ability to automatically download arcade demos?

    Since they changed the os on the 360 I have not been able to download the arcade demos automatically. Did they remove that function?

    It was removed when NXE hit, probably because it wasn't exactly auto.. still recquired you to go to the games section to get it to start downloading.

    I do it online

    Sign into xbox.com with your live ID, then go to the marketplace
    http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/

    Then choose download, when you turn on your console it will automagically start downloading

    You can also be more selective about the demoes you get

    Thanks all. If I could be bothered I would go on to the website but I am just too lazy! Hopefully they will introduce a more 'auto' version soon.
