You still have the weekend, and next week it will be available for Xbox silver. I say It has a decent chance to crack 1 million.


Have none of you noticed that the 1M has to be achieved by March 1st?  Silver members cannot download the demo until the 1st.  Their downloads won't count.  Perhaps just the first day depending on the official contest end time.

That being said, We'll probably get the items regardless of the 1M mark.  They aren't going to create items and then not let anyone have them.  This isn't like a pre-order bonus that at least someone will get to use so the development cost is justified.  If they don't let us have them that is wasted development cost and marketing cost.



What cost? THe items just give xp and gold there is very little involved with them its not like weapons or armor and such. 


Sure it might only be two items but there is cost involved.  BioWare can't just snap their fingers and will the items into being.  Someone had to code the items, write the codex entires, create the item artwork for your inventory screen, etc.  Also, the cost of the Call to Arms promotion.  It's not free.  Advertising and website design cost money.  The cost to produce and advertise these two items might be small, especially compared to developing and producing an entire game on multiple systems, but it still cost money and I doubt BioWare is in the habit of throwing away money.  Even if it's penies on the dollar.

They will extend the promotion as long as it takes or relax their standards for counting. They are going to find some way to pay off the promotion. It's far more important to them than it is to us.

So just a little math from the last hour:
From 10pm est to 11pm est > 3350 downloads
Which averages to > 55 downloads a min

Assuming the downloads keep up this rate it'll take 6.6 days from now (rounded up) to reach 1 million.

Yep, I'm bored.

Well, almost at half! Hopefully this rate continues.



Played the demo on my xbox, but purchased game for PC. Downloading PC demo now, with the new controls, I hope I can use my xbox gamepad on the pc!

It only counts the unique EA account, not downloads. It only counts the unique EA account, not downloads. It only counts the unique EA account, not downloads.

Okay I have a question. Does it matter how you download the demo? I pre-ordered the game for the 360 but I played the PC demo since I need 20$ to buy a 3 month Xbox Live Gold membership. Hoping that we get a million people to play the demo, will my items appear on my 360 or be stuck in the air, or will we be sent codes that we can use on the 360? If anyone can answer this (Dev, Mod, smart person, etc) I would be so very thankful!!! Image IPB

I think it does matter the Demo's platform for now, but they could easily change that.

Demo platform matters for Hayders Razor item. Books for demo usage will likely be applied to the account for all platforms.

...If we make the million

Yes, if you play the demo to completion on every system you will get it on every system, if you play it only on one, you'll get it only on that one... and for what it's worth you don't need gold to unlock it on 360, you just need to wait a week, it'll be available on silver one week after it released on Gold.

For reasons unknown to me, the pace of downloads has picked up quite a bit in this past hour or so... maybe it just went available on ps3 outside America or for some other reason, but it's going pretty fast again.
