I never understood this. If you blindly order the game, we'll give you the demo which you were supposed to use to determine if you wanted to order the game.

  Its like the people on amazon.co.uk or wherever else that have already given it 5 stars because they saw a trailer. They're so sure its going to be that good that they don't even need to actually play it.

      Nope, they really did give it 5 stars just from watching a trailer.

      That said I'm definitely looking forward to this. Just not as much as some other people obviously!

  You know, I thought the very same thing when I left GameStop without a Ratchet & Clank PS3 demo because I hadn't pre-ordered the game. Idiot logic at it's best.
