    Was an article really necessary for this...?

    And why do I have to turn Javascript off to post on GG.com?

      I don't see how it's unecessary. It's a well-known series... The demo is out, but some people might not know that. Hence the posting.

    I wasn't scared, but felt stressed with the controls, I've never played a RE game before.

        Who's whining? I could give two shits about RE....I just think giving one week exclusive access to the demo is as stupid as getting the demo when you pre-order the game......doesn't matter what system it's on.

    I don't get the point of the One week exclusivity, People aren't going to buy an Xbox just to play the Demo earlier, and releasing it later on the ps3 has the chance of losing people who might have wanted it earlier by spite, whats the positive?

      You find it strange that a service people pay for gets things a tad earlier in these kinds of situations?

      I'm really not that shocked that 90% of the time demos hit Live earlier.

        If the demo is finished, it shouldn't matter who's paying for what; it should be sent out to everyone.

        I really Doubt Capcom are letting Xbox owners have RE5 early because they pay Another company money

          Does MS make confetti with the subscription money or maybe give companies like Capcom a little incentive to give thier customers one benefit for paying?

          I'm not sure exactly what the reasons are, but in any other situation in life, I wouldn't be surprised if Company A, who makes people pay for their service, got stuff earlier than Company B, who does it for free.

          If this didn't happen so often, I wouldn't doubt it's just because a PS3 version of a demo is just taking longer. But this seems to happen every single time with multiplatform demos.

          Maybe Microsoft payed them off, but a week's difference just doesn't seem worth it. I think the PS3 version just took a little longer, but who knows?

    Shouldn't the PS3 demo have already come out by now? Or did MS just buy the rights to the demo entirely?
