I think its a combination of both. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Yeah, this was announced a while back, and I dont think too many people have been impressed by what they've seen of the game so far. Personally, I'm looking forwards to Republic Commando a lot more than Battlefront.

Well, keep in mind, BF1942 didn't have amazing visuals, either, but the gameplay was outstanding, and Battlefront looks to be a BF1942-style game.

Well, I agree with most people here. It's interesting, but does anyone else know how many times websites post info that is proven wrong (i.e. Halo 2 release dates)? So while Bluewhatever.com may say that it's fact, doesn't mean it's true. On the other hand (or foot), they could have some inside info (ya know, a mole in Lucas Arts... Hmm...) on SWBattleFront, and be giving us a good report on what they know (or think). I am kinda on the middle with this. I really don't know what to think about this. Thanks for telling us.

I'm pretty sure that LucasFilm and LucasArts have made official announcements stating that the Demo will be on the DVDs.
