Are you a PS3 user or a 360 user dark_jedi? As far as I know only the 360 has the demo. The demo was released exclusively on the Xbox 360 in Japan though Xbox Live. Crafty RE fans in the US began signing up for Japanese Live accounts in order to download and play the thing, but MS somehow blocked that so it doesn't work anymore.

Now it is even easier though. You can download the demo from several places on the web (the kinds of places you might dl fan edits from), burn it on a DVD or CD-r and play it. It is only four hundred and some mb. I downloaded it, burnt it on a CD-r, and it plays just fine, it is all in English too. Once the disc is in the drive, instead of loading it from the disc as you would a retail Xbox game, go to "Game Library" and you find it magically listed among your demos.

Hope you have an Xbox dark_jedi, because this sure helps make the wait a bit easier. This demo is very much worth the small effort it takes to get to play it.

 

The demo was released in Japan on December 5th. Not sure if/when they intend to release it in other parts of the world or for PS3. It plays great though, it even has co-op mode, but only through split screens. The real game will have co-op story mode via internet, which will be kind of cool.
