Looking forward to the demo! First thing I'll do tomorrow morning is boot up the xbox and give it a go.

This is going off of memory so I may be wrong, but I believe MS releases them at midnight PST so 3am EST (I'm east coast) PSN is usually between 4pm and 7pm EST. Your time zone may vary obviously. Anyone who can correct me feel free as well.

At any rate, looking forward to see the AI in action. Hope the sliders are unlocked again this year.

Yeah that's true and hopefully they added a glass breaking slider to boot. Also, I'm thinking there are many that wont have Xbox Live Gold so i will capture a few vids from my phone and upload them. I remember not having a subscription a year or 2 ago and having to wait 1 week to try it.

What does glass shattering add to this game? I mean, how often does it happen in real life? Once, maybe twice a season??? So once or twice in like 150,000 minutes of hockey some glass shatters. Doesn't seem like something that's a very vital thing to add. I hope they didn't spend much time doing it. And hopefully we don't see it every 3rd or 4th game...

Kurtis Foster broke about 5 or 6 sheets of glass when he played for Tampa. But then Owner Jeff Vinik went out and bought new glass.

Yeah that's a major reason why I switched to PS3. As much as I like features like party and cross game chat, that extra 50 a year for live just wasn't worth it to me in the end.

Yeah I agree. It is quieter around here than the last few years. I think because we really haven't seen much of anything video wise, to get excited or concerned about.

But anyway....I'm really looking forward to the demo! Can't wait to give it a try.
