Need help deciding if that new game is worth buying or just interested in seeing how the latest offerings for the XBOX are? You may want to pick up the XBOX EXHIBITION disc then. What's cool is that this demo disc comes packaged in the standard green DVD case complete with insert and holographic sealing strip that you'll find all XBOX games packaged in...a plus because you'll be able to display it with the rest of your XBOX game collection and also because some demo discs are often packaged in unsightly cardboard sleeves!
Some may be quick to point out that the vast majority of these demos have already been avaialable in the various Official XBOX Magazine monthly demo discs, but some (like Quantum Redshift and Whacked!) have not. There's a very good selection of game demos here...9 total (Splinter Cell, Panzer ORTA, NFL Fever 2003, Toejam & Earl III, Timesplitters2, Whacked!, Quantum Redshift, Halo, and Madden NFL 2003). I found Splinter Cell, Panzer ORTA and Quantum Redshift to be among the best.
What else is included? Some dowloadable content and saves for DOA3, Project Gotham Racing and Rallisport Challenge. THe Rallisport Challenge download is cool because it finally allowed me to bypass the course set that has frustrated me for quite some time. Also are some music videos/songs which you can watch and rip to your hard drive to use in your custom soundtracks for the games that support them. The bands featured here are largely obscure labels and there are only a few, so whether or not this can be considered a good inclusion depends on just how big a music fan you are.
Finally, some decent trailers for newer XBOX games are also included (even one for Shenmue II!!) as well as various other DVD footage ranging from previews, programming from the G4 gaming channel, commercials, and even the HALO2 trailer which many of us can finally watch in full screen mode (instead of running it through WMP9).
Another bonus is the fact that there's a coupon included in the box for a FREE copy of AMPED (you pay shipping) when you buy NFL FEVER 2003! Not bad at all!
Overall, this is a worthwhile purchase, even if you do subscribe to the Official XBOX Magazine. The price is VERY reasonable (less than ten dollars!) and the whole thing is well packaged with enough new material here to justify a purchase.
Tons of Videos, Demo's, and Downloadable Content! Awsome!

Well, I (persounally) get XBOX magazine, but I bought it from a fundraiser...meaning I don't get the regular DEMO disk. So seeing one for sale with a casing and everything, I had to pick it up (for how cheap it is too!). Here is what u get and why u should buyt it as I review Microsoft's Exhibition DEMO DISK, packed with a ton of stuff!
1) Demos: Here's what u get. A fully playable level of HALO (2-player co-op as well), several types of games and arenas (and up to 4 players in multiplayer) of Whacked, a race with Quantrum Redshift, a level of the new Panzer Dragon Orta, a game of NFL Fever 2003, a game of Madden 2003, a level of Toe Jam and Earl 3, a playable level of TimeSplitters 2, and of course, a level of the new classic, Tom Clancy's: Splinter Cell.
Each game you can play over and over again, and with most of the games, you can play with up to 4 controllers (if they have multiplayer: like Whacked or Quantrum Redshift).
2) Downloadable Content: You get over 20 new costumes for DOA3, some Rallisport stuff, some Project Gotham Racing stuff, and a few others.
You can use the downloads fully in the games IF u own the game, and it really is an added bonues for games you might not play very much anymore; like DOA3.
3) Video's: You get a video you can watch any time of HALO 2, Unreal Championship, MechAssualt, etc... a few G4 (gaming cable channel) interviews and coverage, and a video that explains XBOX Live. Tons more here, it convinced several of my friends to get an XBOX. Can u use these videos to YOUR advantage?
4) Music: You get a few music videos from groups like Plan B, Pilo Kiley, and Kind of Like Spitting. You can record these onto your hard-drive and listen to them during gameplay.
Why this is different from OXM's demo disk: It has a casing! So it won't get scratched up and damaged, and u can pile the disk with the rest of your XBOX games. You can easily take it to friend's houses, and trust me, it does have a TON in it.
Well, that's my review, and if u don't get OXM or are looking for some intros to some new titles (Splinter Cell, Whacked, and Panzer Dragon Orta), this is perfect for u. I know I like it!
Thx!
