			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Strange, but it seems that Xbox was releasing independent demos for both Xbox and Xbox 360 for some period in conjunction.</p><p>For example, the first demo promoting Xbox 360 was released in March 2006 <a href="http://redump.org/disc/60865/,">http://redump.org/disc/60865/,</a> however a demo promoting the original Xbox was also released in March 2006 <a href="http://redump.org/disc/20689/">http://redump.org/disc/20689/</a> and kept going utnil July 2006 (Demo #55 <a href="https://imgur.com/a/SbyJaFY">https://imgur.com/a/SbyJaFY</a> <a href="https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/32949546?q&amp;versionId=45027092).">https://trove.nla.gov.au/work/32949546? … 45027092).</a></p><p>To cloud the waters a bit more, there was some cross over content in which the early demos promoting Xbox 360 were formatted as OG Xbox (and therefore datted in redump as OG Xbox).</p><p>When I looked further into this, I noticed that the backs of the demos promoting Xbox 360 read &quot;<strong>Xbox 360: The</strong> Official Australian Xbox Magazine&quot; <a href="https://imgur.com/a/5qAAtku">https://imgur.com/a/5qAAtku</a> whereas the spines simply say &quot;The Official Xbox Magazine&quot;, the same as OG Xbox (therefore a more confusing title).</p><p>I noticed this &quot;Xbox 360&quot; prefix in the UK demos as well: <a href="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/WwIAAOSwMudblD8t/s-l1600.jpg">https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/WwIAAOSw … -l1600.jpg</a></p><p>USA magazine demos don&#039;t seem to bare this same prefix <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/163557280482">https://www.ebay.com/itm/163557280482</a><br />However that&#039;s not surprising since the numbering continued from Xbox to Xbox 360 whereas the PAL regions reset the numbering back to Demo 01 when they started promoting X360.</p><p>As a result, I feel like it would be more accurate, less confusing to prefix the PAL X360 promoted demos as &quot;Xbox 360: The Official Xbox Magazine Demo Disc&quot;. In addition, the Australian government catalogs the new series in the same way <a href="https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/3623794">https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/3623794</a></p><p>Usually I would just send this suggestion to Enker, but it might clear up some confusion for others.</p>]]></content>
