    JPN marketplace is not US or indeed, EU marketplace.

    This thread title was little more than a cocktease, dammit!

    I didn't get hyped as I previously read the demo was JP only! Agh!

    Well, it's pretty awesome so far.

    I just made a profile and it was like "boom, you're on japan marketplace, enjoy the demo"

    So, you guys should try that

    demo is neat. plays alot like re4. online co-op in the demo was a great idea, we're having a blast.

    I just hopped onto my Japanese account and couldn't find it. Everything is in moon speak, which I don't remember being as difficult to navigate on the old UI. Any tips?

    e: Wait, is this 360 or PS3?

    This game is very difficult, but plays so well. It controls even better than RE4, the co-op stuff works fairly well; being separated from your partner is kind of scary, especially when ammo starts getting a bit low and enemies get too close.

    It looks fantastic, although split-screen is a very awkward size when playing at 1680x1050. It does this goofy mini-box thing that doesn't split the screen in half completely.

    Not sure what there is to say other than I can't wait until this comes out, and you should definitely set up a new JP Xbox Live account to try this out; it takes about 5 minutes and it's well worth it.

    D'oh. Oh, well. I can wait until it opens to Silver. Usually takes what, a week?

    Also hoping a Musou Gundam 2 demo shows up before long.

    5 March in Japan, 12 March in US.

    Doesn't necessarily mean a US demo is close at hand. Localizing a demo is probably a fair amount of work, and it's not like a lot of people are on the fence about this game.

    Okay, made a Japanese account, and used a 48 hour Gold card I had laying around. Still no demo showing up.

    e: Nevermind, found it, but Live ate my 48 hour code without actually giving me Gold status.

    Yeah, making a new account totally doesn't give you a month of gold anymore. They stopped that like a year ago.

    I just tried it. =(

    Up to 4 new xbox live accounts are given a free month of live. So if you have made more than 4 profiles on your box, chances are you've expended your promo months.

    So... if I make an account on my friend's box (that hasn't used up his promo months), and transfer the tag to my box, that should work, right?

    TO GET DEMO WITHOUT XBOX LIVE!


    people without the ability to make a gold account here is a link to the demo files just download then unrar then burn the content folder to a DVD, although some DVD brands do not work supposedly.

    If it's telling you that MS may have region locked it already. They did it with the Ninja Gaiden 2 demo about 8hrs after it went live in Japan. Looks like they got to it faster this time. :|

    the real way to get the demo is to convince the resident evil developers of our devotion

    by bombing japan

    and this time, doing it right
