In a mere eight days after its demo release, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed has reached one million downloads over Xbox Live. According to Edge (via OXM) this is a record. I would like to meet the man that keeps track of these numbers.
I have come to the conclusion that Star Wars fans have broken this record by deleting and downloading the beta continuously. Just like how fans clog the movie theatres for days at a time to watch George Lucas butcher their favorite fiction. The man still makes money, even if you're sour about Padme dying of a broken heart.
The Force Unleashed has reached an estimated 2.3 million downloads over Xbox Live and PlayStation Network combined, which is an insane number for a demo. We’ve had the opportunity to play several different versions of the game (including the demo) and thus far we’re pretty high on it. Perhaps Star Wars fans will actually have something to be proud of.
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed ships to stores on every conceivable platform on September 16 this year.

I still haven't played it though.
I'll probably buy this game.
btw Tycho of PA didn't speak too highly of the actual finished game. I did have fun with the demo, despite not caring for that Star Trek Wars thingy. Might buy it on the cheap in a few months.
And being a Star Wars fan from way back, I just don't understand why they have to invent new ways to hold the lightsaber in every new jedi game. He holds it upside down? SERIOUSLY? Maybe in the next game he will hold it with his feet? Just hold it like a friggen lightsaber goddammit.
Yes I was among the million people that was able to play the demo version so I can safely say this game is FAIL... I think is better for them to re-release the titles from super nintendo on XBL or PSN...
I intend to buy this, but I think I'll wait until I read a few reviews of it to get an idea of how bad or bad ass it's going to be.
I might buy it for Wii.
