Thread already exists. And the article should mention "You get it 7 days earlier as long as you keep paying for what other players get for free" :D

you don't have to pay for demos :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Kinda surprised PSN is actually getting a demo since we don't get much for demos

Whats the point of this? If you only own a ps3 or had neither console, would you buy a 360 now because the RE demo comes a week earlier? lol.

Perhaps Capcom owes M$ some for allowing them the rights to make Gears of Evil 5. I've ceased to care about Resident Evil after 4 anyway. It'll take a lot of convincing to get me to buy RE5

The idea is obviously to get goodwill from the 360 owners.

The 360 owners are known for very high software sales AND like shooters, so giving the core fanbase a little extra (at the expense of the PS3) is good PR.

You think that MS arranged this, but this comes from Capcom.

i doesn' t bother me to much to wait but, RE was born on the PS it hurts me to C this kind of exclusivity. Demos aren't always good for sales

RE has been on several consoles and there are very few exclusives in the series. The only ones I can think of are Resident Evil on PS1 and REmake and Zero, and those are Gamecube exclusives.

360 is clearly the #1 SKU of the game, which is logical considering userbase and the fact that RE has become very shooterlike (sadly).
