New demo comes out, Soon™
Is this fact or speculation!! i haven't seen any information anywhere that would suggest a new Demo is coming out!! I would imagine that they are now working on getting the game finalised rather than updating the current Demo.

Dear TDU Fans,
I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to the over 200,000 people who downloaded the Test Drive® Unlimited demo through Xbox Live® Marketplace and to the thousands who gave extremely valuable feedback via www.testdriveunlimited.com.
This demo has helped us accomplish two major things:
We wanted to test our servers for the world’s first M.O.O.R. (Massively Open Online Racing) title. In day one we had over 10,000 people on our server racing against one another.
We also wanted to gather your feedback on what you liked and what you thought should be improved. The game is still a work in progress and we have time to improve the product significantly. So we've asked for your opinion and we received extremely helpful responses. We don’t agree with everything that’s been posted but most posts make sense and nearly all issues will be addressed.
A few general points on the feedback:
General bugs: This is a work in progress.
Map: Some people were wondering why you couldn't un-zoom in the map of the demo. This is because the whole island isn’t in the demo, so we locked the zoom/unzoom feature.
Physics: Some people think they are too arcade, others are saying they are too sim-like and others are saying we are perfect…impossible to please everyone. However, there is a driving aid menu. People that want sim should play with driving aids off while others should use them. Additionally, further tweaking of the physics is ongoing.
Damage: Some car manufacturers don't want their cars being damaged so we can’t have some with and some without. More importantly, this is a unique, massively open game… we don’t want the problem of the 10 year old guy smashing into your brand new Ferrari etc.
Blur: We added a setup menu in the option menu to turn it on or off or tune the amount of blur. Same with the camera shaking effect.
Island graphics: They are evolving all the time. Until the final build, they'll keep being improved.
Controller layout: A few other controller layouts will be available in the final game.
Again, we thank you for your support and are very excited to launch Test Drive Unlimited as a unique and special product.
All the best,
Stephen Baer
US Sr. Brand Manager
P.S. Please be on the look out for an updated demo within the next few months. You can also pre-order the game at select retailers.

Fact, as already proven. :)

Look under E3 2006. They are far too lazy to remove anything from the server. Believe that.

No, not at all, I have the demo already, why would not being able to download it again be my problem?

i downloaded an update for the marketplace (loads has changed!) and the demo wasn't on the updated version so maybe it is on the old marketplace only

You need the update to be able to connect to Xbox Live. Well, I did anyway.

Its not in its own catergory anymore, you need to go to game downloads - all game downloads and its in the top section of E3 2006.
