Exactly Beware the otters :lol

 

[ZeroFate]

Soooo um... yeah. I thought I would be able to resist this demo but I'm pretty sure I just drifted off and dreamed about blasting away some Helgast.

How do I make a Euro account again? I forgot since its been so long since I made my Japan account. :lol

Pre-orders confirmed to be just Europe:

"The 1.1m pre-orders are for Europe only and that's [as] of last week," Sony told us after the figure was reported in today's Guardian.

yep, he is.

 

[sykoex]

I wonder what kz2 is going to be like.. Going to be like::closes eyes / waves arms around:: going to be like..... Dammit it did't work ;_;

:lol

 

[JardeL]

Go to your bed Americans , this demo is for US ... :lol

 

[kaleii]

The news that the demo will be up at around 5pm is a downer also.

I have to go out about then.

Some times I think life hates me :lol :lol :lol

... But 5PM GMT is the normal time for PSN updates in Europe, so it's no real surprise, is it?

 

[Negaiido]

Go to your bed Americans , this demo is for Europe ... :lol

fixed

 

[Y2Kev]

You Euros have been foiled! I'm just waking up! Now I point my death ray at France...

[anonymousAversa]

KZ2 demo day!!!!!!!

I'll be at work for the next 12 hours but rest assured i will be checking back to read all your impressions!!

Happle eating day.

 

[Nemo]

You unEuropeans better stay away from my servers!

 

[deepbrown]

Go to your bed Americans , this demo is for US ... :lol

It's not for the US, it's for Euros! >_<

 

[Bojanglez]

Part of me wants to avoid the demo so I can savour the experience for launch day. That part is fighting a loosing battle and will probably be dumped in the toilet at about 6pm this evening.

 

[Haunted]

It's Rated "Keine Jugendfreigabe" which is something like "M". I'm pretty sure the German PSN won't get the demo. It's pretty lame but who cares: Just register an account in Austria or England.

I won't even try with my German account, I'll just use the UK one.

 

[lowrider007]

I'll just use the UK one.

OI !! get out .

 

[cameltoe]

At work as well, but set up a yuro account yesterday and told the wife to start the DL as soon as I call her......bitch best answer the phone!!!

 

[Haunted]

OI !! get out .

I'll steal all of your bandwidth.

Wow, maybe this game could be big.

Makes me wonder, why all the preorder/demo nonsense in NA.

 

[Raist]

I have a feeling the demo is going to take hours to finish.

Spoiler

Go away greedy USians, use your preorder code

 

[Defuser]

You have dealt with US folks but you have to handle us asians!!

btw how many more hours?

 

[andycapps]

Since we're going through ages here, I'll be 26 in a few days here. Have a wife and kid and feel like I'm getting old, even if I'm not quite 30 yet. Every year that year 30 gets closer I get more and more alarmed...

Can't wait to download this demo when I get home!

 

[Lince]

a friend in SCEE suggested I should keep my PS3 logged on the PSN now that it's up and running, the traffic is huge and peaking at this time just with people checking the store every second, things can only get worse later on.

1.1 million pre-orders in Europe alone

Thats some pretty good numbers, lets hope this game does get the attention it deserves.

You never know, if it does sell well people might start to finally let this "ps3 has no games" attitiude people still seem to have and actually give it a chance.

 

[GoncaloCCastro]

This demo is going to be so awesome!! I miss the beta so much!

 

[Warren Ellis]

*looking at europe preorders* Yeah sony that preorder demo was really a good idea *sigh*

(i'm european btw, i am saying this only for the sake of it)

That's a lot i guess. Do even most people that preorders usually do it this far in advance? Is it unreasonable to expect this number to increase substantially in the next few weeks?

[Swedomu]

Im so hyped for this that i bought a red bull instead of the usual cheap powerking.

 

[pseudocaesar]

So 1.1 million pre orders for europe, as of last week. If that gamestop number of 1mil + is true, coupled with the fact its on the best sellers for Amazon and Best Buy etc. This game will sell boatloads, like millions. I actually dont think i ever would have realistically thought of this as a contender to top MGS4 sales, but now...im beginning to wonder.
Hell, after the demo I would expect the preorder number to double for Europeans.

 

[dreamer3kx]

Euro, I hope you're ready for servers getting smashed and download speeds pretty much 56k.

What ? It should easily beat MGS4. No doubt about this.
I'd say 7M worldwide LTD.

"The 1.1m pre-orders are for Europe only and that's [as] of last week," Sony told us after the figure was reported in today's Guardian.

Is that good? That's only 1+ million. And that's in a whole, like, y'know, continent. 100's of millions of peepz. That's less than 1% sell thru. That's pretty bad.
Can we call it a bomba already?

 

[Haunted]

But the store doesn't update while people are browsing it, right? You still have to go out and re-enter for the new content to be there.

edit: wait, you were talking about being connected to PSN, not the store, my bad. >_<

Euro, I hope you're ready for servers getting smashed and download speeds pretty much 56k.

 

[Always-honest]

yup, ready.

Exactly, should easily beat MGS4 considering it's an FPS and MGS4 was mostly dependent on it's fanbase.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? @_@
Check your number again, i doubt that those 100 millions peepz have PS3s.
Come on guys, this is crazy talk.

Could I please ask all the non europeans to kindly, not steal all my interwebs? please?
