Has the availability of being able to download Demo's of upcoming or currently available Xbox 360 games changed your buying or renting habits?

I pretty much never rent games to begin with, but I do own more 360 games than I would if demos weren't there. It's a hell of a way to get someone hooked.

"I don't have a 360 yet, so hearing stuff like this just pisses me off more."
It's not even the money issue anymore, it's that my damn store where I work and would get my discount doesn't have any premium bundles... forget core x_x
That said, yes, I want one now so I can play Marble Blast and PGR3 :P
Edit: forgot, yes the demos would change my renting habits, although I rarely rent to begin with.

It hasn't changed my buying habbits so far, but it has kept me from buying games that I probably would have regretted buying

It kept me from buying Full Auto! Thanks for the demo MS! I'm buying fewer games now! LOL
I might be buying more games.
And holy crap, thats some poll there buddy.
There's not an option for me.
Prior to owning my 360, I had never EVER rented games before. But the 360 games aren't exactly cheap at $70 Canadian, so the demos coupled with my starting to rent games, have changed my habits for sure. There have been some 360 games that I would have blindly bought under my old habits...but having rented them first, I've saved large money on what would have been some serious blunders. More pluses....I normally would NEVER have considered playing Call Of Duty 2...but I rented it, completed it and it's become a must own title for me.
