Lets take a look at the facts, they will want to release a Demo before the game is released in the EU, which is pretty much in two weeks time. This means that it will be released either this thursday or next thursday, and chances are they'll allow people to play it for about a week or two, so my bets are on this thursday... what do you guys think?
I agree man !
hope sobut iam guessing next thursday since it is alot of job getting it and that
I think the demo will either come one week before the game is released or the same week. Then people who like the game can buy it directly.
If not next week I got the Bad Compny demo I wouldn't play due to Civ demo.
It would be my luck that it does come out this Thursday since thats when I fly out to a wedding and will be gone for 5 days!
Well, I doubt they'd release it on the week of release. They'll want people to try the game and then spend a week or so saving up for it. Demo's are meant to make people interested in games, and I know for a fact that it works. Were it not for the Folklore Demo I'd never have gotten the game...
This Thursday would be good - my new TV is being delivered on that day so i'll be able to test it out with a few games of civilization!
Many demos fail in that and make you NOT buy the game, as was the case for me with FolkloreOriginally Posted by KrashKrunal
Sorry to crush your dreams, but unless it sneaks onto marketplace on Thursday it's not this week because nothing is on the demo list but DBZ Burstlimit. I think most multi-platform demos come out on Thursday, not entirely sure (never played a multi-platform demo). If not next week atleast I will still have you Bad Company demo.

Well, hopefully they follow through and get us the demo when they said they would (before the European release date).
That was also in the case of Grid race driver game....man that demo sucked so bad and I really was waiting that game before the demo came out and crushed my dreamsMany demos fail in that and make you NOT buy the game, as was the case for me with Folklore
Just want to let you guys know the demo will not be out this Thursday. We'll announce the date as soon as we can and with some warning before the actual demo comes out. The demo will come out before European Release and on both the PS3 and 360.
And I know, we keep telling you guys we'll tell you. And we will. Promise!
So I guess its coming out the 5th or the 12th. woot.
I might be playing this demo more than MGS4 . . .
maybe.
My bet : June 12th
Probably, maybe thats why the EU release was delayed lol
That would be stupid
Like I would have waited for the demo to buy it. If it comes out the 12th I doubt I even download it. It will be in stores as of late the 12th at some stores I guess.
You guys are cutting it pretty close... If it's not out this week then there's only about a week and a half left till the European release. :PJust want to let you guys know the demo will not be out this Thursday. We'll announce the date as soon as we can and with some warning before the actual demo comes out. The demo will come out before European Release and on both the PS3 and 360.

I'd be happy with some demo details. I know you guys aren't suppose to say but I'm sure one of you could 'slip up.'
I jokes I jokes.
I should stop hanging around these forums, it makes the waiting unbearable.
Seeing how the store is updated on thursdays, it's a good chance that we only have one more week to wait before we get our hands on a Demo
I want it next week, but I don't want it next week. I want Battlefield BC and Civ Rev.
I don't see why they won't just tell us, when the demo is coming. It's not like they don't know. Yet, they treat the information like it's top secret threat to national security type stuff. What's the big deal, it's a DEMO. Geez... Most companies make it known 2 or 3 weeks in advance that their demo is coming. Most companies want people to know about it, so it will get downloaded.
Ironically, Microsoft's already bulging coffers will be down by $30 if the demo hasn't landed on Live by Monday or Tuesday of next week.
I'm only on a silver account, but I had every intention of buying a 3 month gold account just to be able to download the demo on the day of it's release. Sadly for Microsoft though, it's getting just a tad too close to the European release date to make it really worthwhile shelling out the spondoolics for.
So yes, if the loss of my $30 should bring the American economy crashing to it's knees, we can all lay the blame squarely on Firaxis and 2K's shoulders!
The demo's probably going through the approval process; there's a fair amount of bureaucracy to getting anything up on XBL/PSN. It's not like uploading a demo to a website, which takes maybe ten minutes; there's a whole procedure that it has to go through.
Honestly, I doubt that even 2k/Firaxis knows when it'll be up with any precision, outside of "whenever it's approved."
I bet if we wait patiently we will be rewarded with a great demo to hold us over.
I'm determined not to play the demo when it comes - only 13 days left to full release anyway
Same here. That way I don't have to do the same exact thing over again when I finally get it!I'm determined not to play the demo when it comes - only 13 days left to full release anyway
I don't have a xbox gold account. So by the time the demo is released for silver accounts the game will be out anyway!

you get a free month of gold live if you make a silver account. works 3 times only with the premium package xbox.
I guess I should be happy that I have a Playstation 3 which has free online and so I can download as many demos as I want as they are released in ANY region
But I guess I shouldn't brag... you guys have better online
Those of us in America are completely jealous. Or at least I am.I'm determined not to play the demo when it comes - only 13 days left to full release anyway
I thought about importing it but Europeans generally pay a lot more for their games then we do here in America (I haven't looked too much into this but I've heard complaints from people about the price of games in the past). Tack on shipping costs and arrival times and it may not really be a great idea. I think I can probably hold out till July with just the demo to satisfy me.
Best not to order a copy in Europe from the US. You will pay almost double the price of what you pay in the US for a game. Best way to compare prices is to change the $ to € symbol on american prices and you know what it costs in Europe. The price is mostly exactly the same only the conversion from € to $ makes the big difference.
The price for Civ Rev in Belgium is € 59

Its 54€ in Sweden atm with shipping.
the swedish version has only got 15 civ's
Why is that?the swedish version has only got 15 civ's
It was meant as a joke. In sweden Civ seems to be cheaper than in Belgium
Its only 38 euros over here* (UK)
£30 * 1.273 = 38.2
OhhhSilly me.
Thats cheap. I have about 120 quid that I need to get tid off. But I bought it early in the year and now it isnt worth as much as beforeIts only 38 euros over here* (UK)
£30 * 1.273 = 38.2
Its only 38 euros over here* (UK)
£30 * 1.273 = 38.2
UK version only has 8 Civ's
Damn that's cheap. Don't really understand why iTunes was forced to sell it songs in the UK at the same price as in the rest of the EU when it seems normal to sell games in the UK at a much lower price than in the rest of the EU.
