When you attach words like "not for resale" and "limited edition" to something, you know it's going to end up on eBay. Already, one overzealous eBay seller has placed his demo disc up for auction. For a free disc, it's getting a pretty penny: 1,150 of them, to be precise.
The seller says "allow 2-3 weeks for delivery." Why? Because it's obvious that they don't have the disc yet. Hopefully, lostmyheadnmind, the high bidder, doesn't mind.
[Thanks, Michael!]

Wow!! all i can say is wow.
hope the guy forking over the 11.50 plus 4.00 s&h knows that it's a free demo. and that a free downloadable demo is coming in a couple weeks. some people are just impatient i guess.
smart on the sellers part. made a pretty good profit.

I do not believe a downloadable demo is guaranteed, definitely not in a couple of weeks, maybe a couple months - then again I only know as much as the next psp fanatic.

@ 7 if there's a UMD version there's no reaosn why a downloadble version can't come out within a few weeks as well and Hopefully one does.

@8 No, there have been a few titles that have had the UMD demo and yet not a downloadable one. Also, the fact that the demo UMD is LIMITED EDITION, means that IF there is a downloadable demo, it will not be the same as the UMD.
Thank God I did get the confirmation email...

To Noshino: Since GoW is such a high-profile game, and a second-party one at that, it's extremely likely there will be a demo for download. But Mr. Barlog confirmed that the Limited Edition demo is a special gift for all the people who signed up for it back in...May I think.
Your reasoning is right, but if you look at Killzone: Liberation they had the demo disc out for about 2 months and then released a downloadable one. So let's give them hope, ok?
P.S. Same here about that email. I was soooo happy when I saw I got it hahaha

I don't see what the big deal is? People auction off demos and free stuff all the time on ebay. Looks like he started the bidding off at a buck. How exactly is he being a prick?
