Ben-DutkaLast week, we heard that a European retailer hinted at the possibility of a God of War III demo hitting the PlayStation Network today.
At the time, we wanted to assume this included the North American region as well but thus far, that's not the case. As you can see at the European PlayStation Blog , the demo is indeed available to download and try today. However, there is no mention of it at the US Blog and we just checked the Store; there's no demo there. It may arrive later in the day but we're guessing gamers in this region will have to wait until next week. If it's only the demo that came with the God of War Collection last year, perhaps some of you won't care so much, but we're still talking about one of the most anticipated titles of the generation. Some early reviews have been sneaking out onto the Internet and besides one 9, we've only seen perfect scores. A demo would also help some gamers ultimately decide between GoWIII and Final Fantasy XIII , which releases the week before. March is gonna be a tough month on the wallet, especially if you plan to pick up the special Collector's Edition for either (or both) of the aforementioned blockbusters.
So anyway, slightly bad news for North America but we'll keep checking the Store to see if the GoWIII demo ends up there later today. If it doesn't, you can always try out the Yakuza 3 demo; it's probably worth your time.
Related Game(s): God of War III
Most likely.
I think it's stupid that Sony makes all these different regional PSN's locked for other countries.
We should be able to access all the different PSN's with just our regular PSN ID's, so why can't we????
BTW, does anyone here have some links that shows how to make accounts for "EACH" of the different regions? Myself, I'd like to get a European & Japanese acct at least, just so I could check them out
The European one is easy. Everything is in English. you'll just have to make up some stuff.
The Japanese one, just youtube it. i found instructions there.
Hope that helps.

No, I've tried and ended up picking a random European city and that city didn't have the psn store. I got so pissed cause i was at the last step and it just screws me over. And now i have to make ANOTHER email. =.=
Is the Yakuzza demo on Europe or the US PSN ?
The Yakuza 3 demo is available on the US PSN.
Lucky for me I have already had the demo, like for a couple of months now, and with that I mean since october, quite long, now I look back at that day.
Um…I have a NA psn and i saw the demo there in the new releases section when i went to go buy the new UC2 DLC.
BTW my jaw dropped when i first played in the flooded ruins map,there's no words to describe those graphics.
dam i was hoping for a new demo, should of known it was too good to be true!
oh well, back to heavy rain……. if i can get it working that is!
That seems kinda lame that it's an OLD demo so many have already seen. Even though it IS on the US PSN too (I think PSE usually posts what they already know for sure BEFORE most new stuff is actually available each Thu), I do find it rather annoying that they so often seem to put stuff up on the Euro PSN a week or two before the US PSN. Luckily, that's about my only real complaint about my PS3…and it's easy to access the Euro PSN anyway!
I saw this editorial and hopped right onto my prox-euro accnt. named 'fish n chips' (guess where) and started the download. Then jumped to my main stateside account named 'fooosie' and the demo was there too. The euro accnt. was non descript ( though its fun to see what europe's take on us is ) but the USA accnt said 'E3 demo' and I have that one soooooo… I got this a couple months with the GOW Collection. I guess I cant compain.
Waiting for the DL now from europe.
Hope its different, Ill let you know
Its not different
