Both are free to Xbox Live gold members

Major Nelson revealed on his blog today that two demos have arrived on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

First is the hit Kinect dance title, Dance Central. If you're interested in giving the title a try, you can download it here. This demo is available in a variety of regions according to Major Nelson's post.

For those of you looking to exercise your brains and not your bodies, a You Don't Know Jack demo has been released on the Marketplace as well. Check it out here. Unfortunately, unlike Dance Central, You Don't Know Jack is only available in the United States and Canada.

If either of these demos gets you in the mood to pick up the full product, be sure to check out the week's deals for savings on both games.

I really wish that it wasn't region dependent; have heard a lot of good things about YDKJ.
My forum posts are probably not worth paying attention to.

YDKJ is good enough of a game to get for $30. Best game ever for $30, and easy achievements. Don't worry about the demo. It's worth it.
This is my signature.....

Would love to know if You Don't Know Jack is region free, sounds like it'd be fun.

If you've played the old YDKJ, definitely get this one. Especially if you can get it on sale for $19.99.

Dance Central Demo is already on the Kinect Adventures disc. So what is the point with that?

I saw the YDKJ picture on the front page and immediately thought the next DLC pack was available. Then I actually read the headline. I am sad now.

If you haven't played it though, definitely try the demo. YDKJ is probably the best $30 I've spent in a long time.

Is there any word of IDKJ getting a UK release? The last scene it game was terrible, I've been craving a good trivia game for a while!! 'Yoostar 2' doesn't look like cutting it
