Destructoid is obsessive about gaming news.

Blue Dragon is one of the most anticipated RPGs of the last five centuries, and now you can get your hands on it. And by now, I mean after you've downloaded the 1.13GB file, suckers!

What should you do in the meantime? It's too bad they didn't just release a couple of classic Sega games on XBLA. If only ...

I'm pissed off there is not gonna be an Assassin's Creed demo. They should have hooked us up with that bit they played in the footage.

I wasn't very impressed with the visuals... Never was a fan of Dragon Ball Z... But I am still willing to give it a shot.

I also wonder about that time limit, Toneman *nod*.. If anyone gets info on that, do let us know *nod*

Is it any good? It looks like a fricking kids game.

I'm not going to download this unless someone tells me if its any good before hand.

I rarely play RPGs anyway.

1.13 gig is no longer then 20 minutes. I'm on business class cable, I can do 999 kilo BYTES per second.

Too bad I don't have a 360 :p.

It's a JRPG mang, you should know what you're getting into.

Also, respect this game's pedigree.

For anybody wondering, you can play two different areas each for 60 minutes. If you stop midway, you can start again with a fresh 60 minutes.

I'm not a huge fan of the art style, but I'll be damned if the combat isn't a blast.

Ugh, why must I have to read about all this XBL content when I have to go in 15 minutes?

This is so awesome, and mad props for this stuff being announced at E3 then appearing on XBL straight away - perfect use of Xbox Live, those sly dogs.

I 'supposedly; downloaded the demo but can't find it anywhere on the xbox. nice waste of more than a gig for something that's not there. All the stuff that was pending after that finished so who knows. Maybe i'll try again later.

That happened to me with the Shadowrun demo. All you have to do is go to download again, the download should finish instantaneously (as you've already downloaded it) and it'll appear in your demo folder after that. Weird, huh ;-)

Yay Blue Dragon demo finally, now lets see if the people that brought me my favourite game of all time (CT) have done it again!

Looks neat, and although I have never been a fan of the JRPG manga style, I'm willing to give it a shot, sinc my 360 is severly lacking in the RPG department.
