The amount of exclusive and limited release demos this generation is really getting absurd- on the both the 360 and the PS3.

Publishers should want everyone possible to get their hands on their demos. They want to sell us their product- the fact that we are expected to jump through all these hoops to determine whether or not we want to buy said product is kind of insulting.

Don't even get me started on the concept of exclusive demos you can only get with preorders.

Such hubris.

@Bialia: Though I agree with you on the pre order demos, I can see why they are only doing the demo on 360. Seeing as the game was developed with the 360 in mind and later ported to the PS3 it makes sense that Platinum Games wants to push the version they feel represents the game the best.

Plus I'm pretty sure they are using this as a way to gauge interest in the game in a different way other than pre-orders.

At least you don't have to put any money down in order to get access to the demo. Just a bit of your time to show that they have your interest and possibly your support. Ya know? #bayonetta

@e1salvador: It's not that the demo is console exclusive. It's that it's limited to 40 000 on a first-come first-serve basis. #bayonetta

@Bialia: EARLY ACCESS. The demo will become available to everyone else as the game comes closer to realease. The 40,000 are for people to get access to the demo this month instead of the first week of January or end of December. It's not like they are saying "Demo only for fans!!!" they are just giving fans early access to it. It's kind of like saying thank you for supporting our game.

It's like giving beta access to people who have registered to your site and have been following your game for a while. You want to give them a treat but also try to get some community response for the game. Easy free way to drive hype. #bayonetta

Why limit demos?
More people will buy the game,
if they can play it.
