Gamestop Offering Demo With Killzone 2 Reserves |
12/31/08
How about a playable demo that lets me decide if I like the game and want to buy it?

You are not paying for this demo. The $5 that you give GameStop does not pay for the demo code. It is a reservation for Killzone 2 that also goes towards your payment for the game (meaning, instead of paying $5 for the reservation then $59.99 +tax for the game, the $5 is taken out of that $59.99 +tax cost).
Furthermore, if you decide that you don't want to buy the game, you can get your $5 back before the day the game releases. So you could, in theory, pre-order the game, play the demo, and then get your $5 back.
The demo you are getting for reserving the game is probably simply an early access deal, kind of like what happened with MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. All you're getting is early access to the demo -- not exclusive access. Now, when the demo will be available to people who didn't pre-order the game doesn't appear to be determined, and if that date is even one day after Killzone 2, then you've got something to complain about.
Otherwise, shut up. You have NOTHING to bitch at GameStop about. There is absolutely nothing sinister or corrupt that is going on here. At this point I'm thoroughly convinced that those of you complaining are ignoring the plain, simple, and innocent truth here in order to bitch and moan at GameStop because of some YouTube video made by a disgruntled employee. And that is sad.
I'm tired of this bullshit. Go find something worth complaining about.

I agree that you shouldnt have to go out of your way to try a demo, and it should be available to anyone at anytime. But I also dont mind the limited access trials either; just have to draw the line between the two

My guess is the demo will be there by launch at the latest, but still... this is BS.
Laughable preorder bonus too.. this gets you nothing extra once you have the actual game.

Stop this "I refuse to pay for demos" bullshit. It is childish and ignorant.

Won't Sony be alienating the other retailers by doing this? What about the small mom 'n pop stores? How can they cope with things like this?

They look at you like deer in headlights.

Don't we go over this every time "money" and "demo" appear in the same sentence? Really people, you need to chill out. Unless you just want something else to hate the big bad GameStop corporation for. Whatever.

If they don't put the demo up on PSN when the game releases THEN you all can be pissed.

Obviously not last year.

Anyway, I'm sure it will be on PSN by Feb 17th for free. So don't get your panties in a bunch.
