    So apparently demo will be released in the European Store for free and available to all, while in America people will be able to start using their gamestop coupons.

    So this Thursday the gaming population will get a KZ2 taste, it has already generally surpassed (or met since they were so high) critical expectations, it will be nice to see general people's opinions.

    How to create a European account

    Since PSN is free, you can simply go to the users part of your ps3, create a new one (I called it Europe) and create a new psn account based in Europe, I also recommend that you do this too for Japan. And that way you can get the demo this thursday. In case that it bothers you that every time that you log into the ps3 you have to choose a user, go to users, hit triangle and choose "default user" that makes it log into that account every time you boot up!

    Most likely because title is pretty self explanatory and in my original post I gave directions on how to create a European account, effectively countering the question that would ahve creeped up in the 2nd-3rd post.

    European store is going to buckle on Thursday. Expect super-slow downloads. And understand why -- don't come here moaning about the PSN. Virtually the whole of the worldwide PS3 contingent (minus perhaps Japan) will be downloading from the European servers.

    Like how nobody bitches about during Live outages?
    Stop being such a simpering apologist for this game and let it prove itself. By all means, it's probably gonna be good, but this shit is getting real sad.

    Noted, thanks for the heads up. Perhaps if the European servers crash (I hope they don't) but if they do I guess that will send a strong message to PR morons who think giving exclusivity to something that should be free for all is pretty damn stupid.

    Am I the only one who's super excited for this game and does NOT want to play the demo?  I really want the game to be fresh for me when I get it.  I don't want the demo to desensitize me in any way.  I want that beautiful game to smack me in the face at full force when I get it, and playing the demo may lessen the impact the game has on me when I finally get it in a couple weeks.  It's kind of the abstinence argument.  I want my wedding night to be memorable, and not just a short tease that desensitizes me for the main event.

    I got the K2 demo off of a friend who preordered the game and with whom I share PSN games with. So if you don't want to make a Euro account, you can possibly go that route; the K2 demo isn't locked like some other content is.
