Sony has a Valentines Day gift for those of you who are enamoured with the upcoming rhythm action game Patapon. Chances are you might've downloaded the Japanese demo of the game after it went online last week, but tomorrow you will be able to try it out in a language that is more familiar. The English demo will go online tomorrow and will be available from the PSN Store on PC and PS3. The demo has previously only been available by pre-ordering the game from Gamestop, so we're chuffed to see it being made available for all via "the power of the interwebs".

Check back tomorrow for the full list of PSN Store updates, as usual.

This and the MLB demo tomorrow? I need some more space on my Memory Stick. Guess I'll have to delete my Harvey Birdman Demo...

Those S.O.B.s! I knew it would happen, but at least now I can play it on my Memory Stick, whilst having another full game UMD in my system; like say Wipeout Pulse!

I love the demo; it's really fun and addicting!

Yes, ha ha. Gamestop did you hear, it pays to not preorder(insert maniacal laughter here). Sadly I won't getting this till Spring break(March 1st, though may be earlier depending on midterms structure).

Uh, it wasnt Gamestop decision to do a pre-order demo bonus.

YAY! another thing to distract me from my large burden of school work. :(
I guess ill be downloading this, I am very selective about the psp games I buy since I dont get to play much, so this could be the final push to make me buy it.

Will this have the pre order weapon?

I think so. I got a "Spear of Protection" after the last battle on the demo.

It was very enjoyable.

Hey, congratulations to Sony for figuring out what a "demo" is. Round of applause.

Just as a general question about these PSN Store demos... are they preventing sites like PSP Fanboy from making the demos available for download? I ask because I am a Mac user and I'd love to download some of this stuff if it's available somewhere that's more friendly to my platform. Anyone know of a good Mac-friendly site for demos that aren't made available here?

I could upload demos to a file sharing site(like Rapid share or something) if you want me to.

What is with the lazy Mac-users these days? You've got bootcamp at your disposal, and you can even dual-boot if emulation isn't your fancy, or get WINE running. On my PC I have 4 OS's. Windoze 98 for older games that have trouble in XP, Winblows XP for recent games, Fedora Core 5 for productivity, and Ubuntu just to check it out.

Well, that's just f-ing great...

I really, really hate pre-ordering games but since it was "exclusive" to gamestop I had no choice. I kept checking various gamestops for the last couple weeks. They finally got the demos in yesterday so I snagged it. Now I found out I could have avoided all that and just downloaded it 2 days after it was available "exclusively at gamestop."

Now all I need is a God of War demo and my dreams will be complete.

Gosh, Lars is really angry. Maybe I have an older Mac that won't handle Bootcamp. A simple question is hardly cause for a worn out Mac vs. PC flamewar, is it?

... and merc25 (a much nicer person, by the way)... thanks for the notion, but I was hoping for a more ongoing solution and I dislike prevailing upon people for such trivial things. Cheers, though.

I re-read my post... it doesn't look angry (well, the one about the Mac). Odd you would take it that way, it was simply an observation and a few recommendations.

By the way, I have a 10 year old Mac and it runs Windoze 98 just fine. What are you using? A Mac classic?

Am I angry for being lied to about the "exclusive" gamestop demo that I had to shell out 5 bucks for? Hell yes!

Lars said...

I also thought it was odd that you took my post to be a Mac vs PC flamewar...

Great, thank God for the Sandisk Ultra II 4 gig that I buy 1 month ago, because just for the PSN demos ir around 800mb (plus the 2 demos tomorrow)...

I really don`t care for the MLB demo, I like Baseball, but not the games, but Patapon in the other hand, well, I want it, and this demo would be the final test of it........

Yeah, unless you registered your psp on the japanese store. you cant download it from the japanese store. I tried this with the wipeout pulse demo that was released to europe.....
