Yes. You can download demos and trials without paying for a live account.

The deal you listed is ok but that sounds like an old console (white). The new ones (black or star wars silver special edition) are slimmer and quieter and shouldn't have problems with overheating like the old white ones do. Also 4gb is not nearly enough memory for downloading demos etc. If you bought this you would need to upgrade the hard dirve or buy en external one which increases the cost and you have the constant worry of "the ring of death". (not an anal related problem but an overheating problem with old consoles).
