So someone leaked the GH III demo onto the internet. You can download it here. http://www.xboxlivetheguide.co.uk/News/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1653&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30

All you have to do is burn the .iso to a cd or dvd and you're good to go. It actually does work. Theres 5 songs on the demo and its pretty awesome. The battle mode is super fun.

shoulda mentioned it was for the xbox 360.

After you put the disc in it should show up as a "Mixed Media Disc" and the game will be playable from the demos section like normal.

if it doesnt work for anyone, make sure when you put it in, scroll over on your dashboard to demos and it should be under there

It actually simplifies things. Go into Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utilities. Then if gh3.iso isn't in the list of disks on the left just drag it into the list from your desktop or wherever its saved. Then click burn in the upper left corner of Disk Utility.

you might wanna take out your harddrive and unplug your internet cable because if microsoft finds out they can make your 360 a dud.

no they can't. Thats illegal. They might be able to ban you from xbox live, but that wouldn't make sense, especially since demos are free anyway.

Is your 360 saying you need an update or what?

its an unreleased demo, you're not suppose to be playing it. if people on your friends list can see what game you are playing im sure microsoft is smart to search out anyone who's playing an unreleased guitar hero 3 demo. they will for sure ban you from xbox live, which makes your 360 practically useless without live

Except the demo isn't unreleased. Its available in Tony Hawks Proving Ground and in a demo disc that comes with the official xbox magazine.
