Well, I haven't bought any of my songs from the iTunes music store (blasphemous among these boards, I know) but I have uploaded some CD's that went into iTunes. It makes it sound as if I'd be able to play the ripped CD's, but it seems like quite a few are missing.

from the IGN 360 board:
Just got through playing 5-6 bouts in the demo. I like it, but I have some problems with the game.
THE GOOD ... - beatiful boxer graphics - the skin looks amazing - awesome arena graphics - the lighting is incredible - the crowds are passable - very good boxer likenesses - even my wife, who hates boxing, recognized Roy Jones Jr from when I watch boxing
THE BAD ... - IMO it just doesn't feel as responsive as it should - the punches just don't feel like they have any power behind them - overall it just isn't face-paced enough
THE UGLY ... - the replays almost always convey the opposite of what the announcer says happened in the round - if he says Jones dominated the round it will almost invariably show B-Hop scoring a 5-punch combo - a few times the crowd and arena graphics were missing for a split-second when coming back to a new round - a few instant replays had the camera going through the boxer geometry
THE SALAD ... - how many heads of lettuce were sacrificed for the sound effects? Won't somebody think of the lettuce?
I enjoyed the demo despite a crapload of flaws and will probably end up buying the game when released.

This game has amazing graphics and I am really enjoying it. The graphics are really insane.

I like Fight Night, but it feels a lot like last year's. This isn't a bad thing, as last year's was a great game to me. But the announcing DEFINITELY needs help, and the highlights from the round are very off.
The graphics are incredible. Probably the most unrealistic thing now is the rag doll knock out physics when one falls to the canvas. It just looks....off.
But if you enjoyed last year's, I think you'll like this demo a lot. The in-between rounds mini games are notably absent, but I'm sure they just haven't put them in yet. I really enjoyed that part of the game last time around. Hope it gets implemented. ******
As for the rest of the 360, it's a hell of a lot of fun to play with the system itself. Games are good and bad to me, but the arcade and integrated xbox life features are incredible. They did a great job of really fleshing out everything for the community. If you join a private chat with someone, you can keep it going while ejecting discs, starting new games, whatever. It's very cool.
I own three games: Perfect Dark, Madden, and Call of Duty. Madden is okay, but leaves a lot to be desired. Damn I wish the mini camps were in there. Also, some presentation decisions are very odd....I mean, no Madden to commentate? Weird. Instead, it's a local radio broadcast, which ends up sounding like something is messed up with your sound levels. It's not good. I'm not sure if they just ran out of time or what. The game plays pretty well though, with improved running mechanics (my largest complaint about the franchise as of late). I think they still need to borrow a "get skinny" mechanic for inside runs behind the guards and center, but it's much better than previous years. All in all, it feels like an 80% finished game...but I'm still enjoying it a good bit.
Perfect Dark is great online and off. It's old school Rare feel, so if you're not a big fan of that game mechanic...then this one probably won't sell you. I am though, so it's great fun for me. the weapons rock, and online customization is unbelievable.
CoD2 is unbelievable in 1 person mode. In fact, I would call it the true definition of "next gen" in every department. Just an amazing experience. Online though is terrible. No lobbies....hard to join friends....lag....grrr! They need some downloadable fixes for this puppy, stat!
I should also mention that I played my 360 on a standard definition TV for it's first week, as I was "home for the holidays." Once I got back and hooked it up to my HD, the true 360 brilliance shined. It really does make an incredibly huge difference in everything. If you don't have your 360 hooked up to an HDTV, you just aren't seeing what it's capable of at all.
So yeah, I'm liking it so far a lot. I played some PDZ with Boo and Duff the other night and had a hell of a good time. I'm looking forward to many titles coming out....but mostly Oblivion. That thing looks unreal.

How the heck can a game with only 8 people lag online? I find that to be totally and utterly retarded. I honestly can't believe they fucked up the CoD2 online part of the game. The first CoD online is fantastic. I wonder if they can fix it with a patch or something.

The first CoD online is fantastic. I wonder if they can fix it with a patch or something. Thats so true. Its sucks because if you play multiplayer you get a glimpse at how great online could be. Single player kicks all kinds of ass though. You really feel like your there. Its not all about you like in most War games, you really need your squad. There will be moments that you just want to run out and start firing but you cant because theres just havoc everywhere. My only complaint is, and this is just my opinion, the sound. Dont get me wrong, its freaking AMAZING. Its just ....to amazing. I can only take so much gunfire and grenades and tanks etc.....it wears me down. lol If I happen to find a quiet room in a building (its hard to find!!) Im like....relieved. That Fight Night demo is pretty sweet. I never played any of them before but the way they use both sticks works incredible. Great graphics and sound. But like mentioned before the replays are just.....off. And it was too easy, I whooped up Roy Jones pretty easily.....flippin panty waste.

I downloaded the FightNight demo and my mom thought it was real when she first walked by and then she said "Oh my God, is that a game?"
Graphics are awesome, but like I've heard, the punches don't feel right and it's a buggy demo. I had no idea how to throw a body shot.
Now, the Condemned demo is flat out awesome. Really made me want to get the game.
