It looks like players won't have to wait until after Killzone 2 rolls onto store shelves to get their first taste of combat. A Sony Europe rep has revealed that a demo for the anticipated shooter will be available on the European PSN on February 5. It will be available on the US PSN at the same time, but only to those partaking in GameStop's pre-order deal. It appears the uncommitted will have to wait for a general PSN release on Feb. 26 -- or attempt subversion via a European account.

"I can confirm that this will be live on the PSN store on Thursday 5th February (same day as SCEA) across all SCEE PSN locales," wrote Sony Computer Entertainment UK Limited's Hugo Bustillos in an email. According to Bustillos, the demo will consist of the first two areas of 'Corinth River,' the game's first level, described as 'beach landing' and 'warehouse.' A tutorial will be included as well, ensuring that all ISA greenhorns will be up to speed when the full game arrives for the PS3 on February 27.

Creating EU PSN account in 3... 2... 1...

Sadly I gave into Gamestop's strong arming and paid to play the demo.  I may be a sucker, but at least I get to play this on Thursday.

same as us dbot =D but witout paying =P

LOL! What the fuck was the point was the point of making an exclusive demo for the americans then?! I could excuse it before, but not now xP

On another note, I might just try the demo. I can't count that as stuff that will spoil my experience playing the game when I get it

I guess they stepped back from the idea of an exclusive demo, which was a very smart move IMO (stepping away from it).

Eh, I've played that area before. Hopefully the newer build will have fixed many of the issues I had with it (FPS dropping, etc). Also, this build will have colour! Huzzah!
