I really hope this is good. I don't want to have to wait until Uncharted 2 or the next R&C to play a good PS3 exclusive...

Well, if somehow InFamous isn't mediocre, I'll definitely go for it.
And you think God of War 3 will be out next year?

I wonder what will Win: my friends extreme hatred of GameStop or his anxiety to play Killzone 2

Killzone 2 demo from Gamestop or Killzone 2 theme from Best Buy? Looks like Gamestop won this battle...

OR it could be like Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction pre orderers who got the same demo, just sooner than everyone else on the PSN

What if we already preordered it from Gamestop.com before anybody knew about this deal?

Pre-order and THEN get the demo? Doesn't it usually work the other way around?

If you don't like the demo you can get your 5 dollars back from gamestop.

You should not have to pay $5 to GameStop just to try out a game to see if you like it before you buy it. Toyota doesn't charge you a fee to test drive a car, and they shouldn't.

Right, nice try at taking a jab at the competition - the truth of the matter is though, you paid for the software, not for the server. If you need to pay a fee in order to ensure a reliable and healthy online service, then so be it.
You're not going to find me crying about how World of Warcraft players shouldn't pay a fee to play because they've already bought the software.

I just *can't wait* for KZ2, but fuck if I'm going to pre-order a game that had a very "meh" original outing without at least some reviews first. Demo first, pre-order later. We seem to be going backwards here.

Total bullshit.
They should be begging us to play their goddamn demo, not the other way around.
I'm done with Gamestop and I'm done paying $60 for games. Just wait a month and save $10-20 if you refresh Amazon every day.

This is a marketing ploy by sony, not gamestop.
gamestop doesnt make any preorder bonus. Sony is trying to gauge what the demand will be like, so they dont over print and lose $ such as with LAIR. Preorders are usedto gauge demand.
so...you should be done with sony. People are going to extremes to hate this company lol. Gamestop Raped and killed mydog last night, those bastards!!!!

"gamestop doesnt make any preorder bonus."
Oh but they do, they do. You would be shocked if you knew how many $5 pre-order deposits NEVER get used. On top of that, it's cash money to sit in the bank. Once 6 months or so goes by, the DM's collect them and they become FREE money for the Eveil Empire.
Finally, the amount of pre-orders DIRECTLY influences how many total copies GameStop gets.
This is all GameStop and not Sony. I would bet that GS paid a nice sum of money for the exclusive demo.
P.S.
Goto GS, pre-order the game, get the voucher, pre-order it from Amazon for the Home avatars and go back a few days/weeks later and get your money back.

Yep.
To think I remember times when people considered it to be a system seller & killer app and everybody who wasn't completely orgasmic over it's magnificence(let alone see it coming from a mile away) was downvoted by SDF within seconds.

What? Why?
The demo should be allowed for everyone
Unless the game isn't really that great and Sony doesn't want everyone to see....i hope not

As a GS employee, I can tell you this info didnt hit until today. meaning people who have been working since 9am tryign to make sense of their stores from the holidays, have no way of knowing about this information.
in 1-2 days, proper info will be sent from our corporate offices including dates and what not.

When do we get to play the GameStop demo if we preorder it today?
Reply
Posted: Dec 30th 2008 5:35PM (Unverified) said
Or they are trying to thin the online downlaod market and not crash (I.E. Probably a large demo in terms of gig size).
A demo is for whoever they feel should play the demo. your not "entitled" to anything but the game if youpay $60. Free demos, giveaways...all nice gestures by these companies.

So let me get this straight. In order to get the demo, you already have to be a person who knows they will want to buy the game. How does that make any sense? If you are sure you want the game then you don't need a demo! Demos are for people who aren't sure if they want it yet and if that is the case, you wouldn't preorder it!

Didn't they do the exact same thing with Ratchet and Clank? Pretty sure this is just an early bonus.

The codes are sent out by email on February 3rd, so I doubt it will be available before then. It won't hurt to try it though, it will just say the code is invalid if the demo isn't available.
