This is why sony fails at marketing they did the same thing with Kane & lynch 2.Fightingfan
Totally. Sony should know by now that people make different accounts. Its free, its easy, and there's no region coding to get in the way. How do you combat this? You don't, but the least you can do is make sure everyone is getting the same stuff at the same time.

You don't, but the least you can do is make sure everyone is getting the same stuff at the same time. You can combat this very easily by taking the iTunes approach and make the user have a credit card on file even to download free things because then you would need a Hong Kong credit card and not just a phony address. However, no one wants to see that happen because then they won't have workarounds like this.

Yeah, but that would be a terrible idea. Not many parents would want their CC account tied to each of their kid's accounts. I'm glad they don't combat it. I just finished downloading it with my new Hong Kong account. :P

Wasn't aware of that. That being said, I couldn't care less about a single player demo. I tried the beta and found it rather convincing by itself. I can wait 2 weeks until the final product.

I know its not that big a deal. I'm just saying, if they're using early access to demos and betas as a selling point for PS+ they should make sure there are no work arounds to getting them. This is coming from someone who almost finally broke down and signed up for PS+ until I found out it was in another store.
[QUOTE="MushroomWig"]Grr, I'm quite annoyed that non-PS+ users are getting the demo. :P Only kidding, the more people who play it the better. Hell, if this turns out to be really good. I might just buy the game and they'll have an customer on their hands but I'm sure they'd hate that :P

Thing is, the exclusivity only lasts a week anyways.
the demo hits standard users next week. Sony aint losing customers, they are just trying to kep the plus subscribers sweet!
The HK account is a bit ass backwards though. if i can get around paying by setting up a free account, what's the point in "exclusivity"
Alright, I just finished the demo and Guerilla did something I didn't think was possible, and I can't even believe I'm saying this, but they made Rico.........likeable:shock:
Awesome. Thanks for the heads up on this one. And not to be a broken record (I'm just super excited for it) but does this SP demo have move support as well? That is what I found most impressive about the beta.

how long was the demo? About 30 minutes or so. You get to finish out a few different objectives. There's a jetpack sequence, an intruder sequence, a missle turrent sequence... Its a pretty eventful 30 minutes. :P

Playing through the demo first using the Move and then using the DS3 controller and I have to say this... ..the Move feels so much better, well at least for me. It felt so sluggish going back to the standard controller, taking me longer to do certain things. The trailer at the end of the demo seemed better quality than the one from the store, am I the only one who thinks that?
The demo is also available with Qore. I was just going to wait until next week since I'm too lazy to make a HK account but I was pleasantly surprised when I checked the downloads in this months Qore and saw it there. Downloading it now.

Yea, I think I might get this game now.

I know I just can't believe it. He is actually an ok character when he isn't spounting F bombs every second. Only other thing was when he randomly started pummeling that ISA guy in KZ2. And when he got Garza killed, Visari too. Hmm... maybe its better that I forget about Rico's wrongdoings. Before I had hoped that he would die in some sort of sadistic way, but not so much anymore.

It'll be funny if he gets killed off in KZ3 and everyone's like "Nooooo! That's my boy, Ricooooo!!!" :lol:
