I'm at the product site right now so a bit further but still encountering error.

Not impressed yet. Tomb Raider looks better.

I am watching.

EDIT: So far this game doesn't look as good as Uncharted 3 either. Graphicswise, of course.

I push square at GoW's main menu like the leaflet says but i don't get any prompts for a Last of Us demo application.

No its not, I downloaded it on my first try. Get a better internet connection!

Yeah, I watch the stream. It just crashed, though :/

The stream is ridiculously blurry and has framerate issues. Your foresight must make the gods blush if you can tell the game is graphically inferior to other games from this stream alone.

Yes, that patch is for 1.07 of GoWA. It has nothing to do with The Last of Us.  With this error, you need to delete all the previous "Game Data" for GoWA and re-install all the patches together. I did this and when it got to the last patch, it gave me the error again but then I restarted the PS3, tried again and was able to download the last patch by itself. This has been a constant issue since May 13th when the patch came out according to the FAQs on Santa Monica's Forums.  Hope this helps.

Stream continues. Really atmospheric Zombie encounters!

Considering they know Ascensions sales and that the demo is exclusive to Ascension owners, they could have better prepared for this.
