Remarkedbly, the NBA 2K8 demo downloaded in less than 30 minutes. It was only 287mb. The Jericho demo is downloading semi quickly as well.

FYI, the Ratchet and Clank demo has been pushed out a week until 10/11. The game itself has gone gold however.

Ratchet and Clank demo came out yesterday and I finally had a chance to play through it today. I might have to pick this one up when it comes out...graphics look great, and I thought the demo was a fun platformer.

The only problem for me Dan is that it's probably going to cost $39.99 and it won't have rumble. Also it will have a limited amount of cars and tracks. I'd rather wait for the full version for $20 more.

The article mentions "free" as part of the download on Oct. 24th. Is that not accurate?

Very good news.

I wasn't about to pay $40 for it.

They're talking about the GT5 Prologue demo being free.

Not the Prologue itself which they're still going to charge for.

They charged for GT4 Prologue too.

I bought Everyday Shooter a couple of days ago. This is a really well designed abstract dual stick shooter (a la Super Stardust, Geometry Wars). It reminds me alot of Rez since every action/reaction has a nice little musical note and each stage has different methods of chaining for high scores.

Fun game if you like this sort of thing. Only thing missing is an online leaderboard.

The Gran Turismo demo is up on the Japanese PSN. It took me about 5 minutes to set up a Japanese account and I'm downloading the demo now. I'll post some impressions of the game later if anyone's interested.

It's actually a demo of the GT5 Prologue.

So it's a demo of what will be a work-in-progress download, which will only be released in Japan this year.

If this thing plays half as good as the vids i've seen it may be the game beyond MLB that finally makes me forget about my 360 all together.

And the fact that they have the demo out ahead of the release gives me a warm and fuzzy inside.

Hobbes,

What did you think of the GT 5 Prologue demo? While I understand that it's essentially the demo of the game that will be a demo of GT 5 (no, seriously) I have to say I'm kinda underwhelmed. I really like the cockpit views and love the 16 car fields (this is awesome) I thought the graphics were good but not as good as PGR4 and the AI seems to be the same bumper-cars crap since GT1.

The replays look nice though. :)

For anyone else interested the demo lets you race a 2 lapper on Suzuka using 4 ot 5 different cars. The actual GT5 Prologue has 30 cars, 5 different tracks and online play for 16 players.

Sounds like our impressions are pretty similar. I remember my jaw dropping when I first saw videos of the game but the demo left me pretty underwhelmed. I thought the demo would keep me from wanting to try PG4 but it's been just the opposite...

So the series still has the same moronic Ridge Racer type AI? No i'm sorry at least the AI in Ridge Racer actually tries and race you. If what you guys say is true about the AI i'm going to pass on this driving game. GT5 is a reflection on the entire PS3 platform. Over hype and under deliver.

So it took them a gazillion cell processors to incorporate a driving view and 16 cars on the tracks with crappy AI. I can believe it, then again that's Sony for ya.

I just picked up a PS3 the other day so I'm relatively new at all this but I believe you can get it from the Japanese PSN store. I have no idea how to do that though. Maybe someone else can help...
