Bioshock was easily one the “must download” demos of the year. If you didn’t have it, all you heard was how great it looked and how fun it was.

It wasn’t for everyone though. Some people had some trouble downloading the visual masterpiece.

Find out why after the jump.

Being the most downloaded demo also made it the hardest to download. Lono discovered this fact over the span of a few days. It would get to about 45% and then stop downloading. This in turn angered Lono who vented in this article (http://sarcasticgamer.com/wp/index.php/2007/08/xbox-live-marketplace-is-for-me-to-poop.html#more-202).

I got it with no problems. YES! I finally 1-upped Lono.
Thank you Bioshock.

Bioshock’s refusal to download for certain people frustrated it’s way to number 19 on Sarcastic Gamer’s Top 100 Gaming Moments of 2007.
