Forgive us for what may seem like yet another Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction aggrandizing post, but for those of you who simply can't wait for the awesome to drop on October 4th, reader BJ writes to tell us that a Blu-ray disc-based demo for Insomniac's PLAYSTATION 3 game are available now at Gamestop if you pre-order the game. Not a bad way to pass the time if you're a Ratchet & Clank fan.

According to our current favorite Gamestop employee tipster, the demo consists of the first level of the game, just like the one due to hit the PlayStation Store next month. However, according to Insomniac reps, the code represents an older build of the game and the online demo is expected to be more "polished." Thanks for the heads up, BJ!
