If you get a subscription to OXM do you still get the demos?

Yes. It doesn't matter if you subscribe or buy it off of newstands, you get the disk either way.

Doom Review is in that issue right?

Oh, hello I'm new here.

Yea, the Doom 3 review is in there according to OXM.

Oh yea, one last thing. Those Xbox Arcade demos that were originally planned on last months disc, well they are likely to end up on this disk, so don't get to frustrated when you're likely only to see Jade Empire and one other demo. If that happens then expect to see a bigger Video Showcase then usual.

Remember, all of that (excluding the Doom 3 review and Jade demo) depends on whether they decide to include the Xbox Arcade or not.



Oh yea, Welcome to XBA, the greatest Xbox discussion site that I could find using Google. :D

Welcome!! I got mine. I didn't like the Splinter Cell demo though.

Edit: I have the March issue and demo. My bad.

Wow, very nice line-up. I'm excited to see the reviews of some of those games, most definitely will be high.

Jade Empire....demo....I'll have to go buy this in stores, I'm too lazy to subscribe.

Jade Empire Demo is awesome news... Are there any other demos? I was expecting a Area 51 demo after the OPM one came out. Would be bummed if its not coming too.

I didn't renew my subscription...I have yet to open up the last two and take them out of the plastic. IMO, OXM has gone down hill...

Accourding to Ryan McCaffery, there is a possibility of an Advent Rising demo/article in the April issue.

No, Area 51 was in the November '04 disk. The one with Sam Fisher on the cover.

There was an old Area 51 demo a few months ago, yes. But they released a new playstation one so I thought Xbox would be coming too. Oh well, I'll keep my eyes peeled. Thanx though.
