Killzone 2 Demo Exclusive to GameStop Until Launch

19
It turns out that GameStop wasn't joking around when it promised "exclusive access" to a downloadable Killzone 2 (PS3) demo in exchange for a $5 pre-order.

Publisher Sony has confirmed that if you want experience a portion of Guerrilla's anticipated first-person shooter before its retail release on February 27, you'll need to enter into a financial arrangement with GameStop and its retail monkey minions.

At some point following the game's release, the demo will then be made public.

"The demo will be available on the PSN after the game ships but only through GameStop until then," Sony clearly and concisely explained to Joystiq.

      Agreed. I'm tempted to fly to Japan and bludgeon Sony's execs with my PS3. HOW'S THAT FOR IRONY BITCHES.

      Yeah prices suck too: 'Mirror's Edge' USED for $54.99 versus $38.00 on GameFly. And the GameStop employees in my neighborhood are tools.

        yeah GameStop employees are tools. i listened to one employee tell a customer that the ps3 is complete garbage and everyone should buy a 360. leave your fanboy bullshit at home, you are paid to sell products, not spout to customers your bullshit fanboy thoughts.

            seriously its people like you keeping this stupid internet mentality that the ps3 is a piece of shit. I love my fucking ps3, and the more and more people that let their fag 360 guard down and put bullshit aside end up changing their minds about all this biased bullshit. It's a video game system, you can like more than 1, they each have their pros/cons. There are plenty of reason to own a ps3 right now, Killzone 2 is defiantly one of them.

              "fag 360 guard down"

              Really? You complain about people being biased about systems and then call him a fag? Very mature response.

            the ps3 is a nice rig. like an expensive PC. you get what you pay for. a lot of nice standard features, but lacking in the game department compared to the 360. ive had a hard time turning mine on lately, but i know it will be reliable when i do. the reason why i dont own a 360 atm.
