Cool! Downloading now.

Cool will try.

Shame the demo isn’t region free…..

Here’s an idea Major, why not make your blog show news articles that are related to the actual country it is being viewed in, I am in the UK, so why show me a demo for Ghostbusters for North America, so annoying !!!

First Sony delay full release in Europe and now cant even download the demo. Have ordered a region 1 copy but would have been nice to play the demo while waiting.

Played it, love it, didn’t completed it yet )
Thank goodness for region free games!

I also agree with that! *grin*

Cool, I’ll definitely try it out.

This game was not as great as I had hoped. An 80 score would be just about right. The voice-overs are the highlight for me.

Really excited about this! Thanks!

@EldonTLH: I knew of a few 360 tweeters like OXM but did not know that AceyBongos was on there, so thanks for that, much appreciated.

Maybe Major knew that he would get some flak for posting a US-only demo and that’s why his avatar is hiding!

The delayed release in Europe is annoying, but there are places where you can buy the region-free version.

At Play Asia, the Asian version is cheaper, but currently out of stock: http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-4fx2-71-dw-49-en-15-ghostbusters-84-j-70-3cs4.html

The US version is more expensive but available now: http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-4fx2-71-dh-77-1-49-en-15-ghostbusters-84-j-70-2hlj.html

Both have English as language options according to the website.

It just seems to be another example of companies clinging to 19th century business models where they try and pretend that the world can still be split up into different ‘regions’ where different rules apply. It just isn’t the case anymore and artificial attempts to create differences through such means as region-coding just encourages people to find ways to circumvent them.

It’s one of the reasons why people from the UK come here instead of taking any notice of Aceybongos. It’s because he is utterly irrelevant compared to Major Nelson. Their Inside XBox is beyond pathetic because they just don’t get the access that Major does. I watched an episode recently where they basically answered three reader questions in a row with a “don’t know” answer. There’s 10 minutes of my life wasted watching that drivel! It would make much more sense all-round if the European Inside XBox was completely disbanded and we just got Major’s stuff instead – we get (broadly) the same games (usually) at the same time, so why not just have one team providing video to all English-speaking terratories? Why do we have to come out of the Xbox and fire up a web-browser to see Major’s Minute? But that would break down the illusion of the different ‘regions’ which Microsoft is desperately trying to maintain. Bizarre when you consider that Microsoft, possibly more than any other company, has been instrumental in creating the global village which we now live in.

Rented it on the Wii and loved it! I’ll probaly end up buying it on the Wii

Definately going to have to try out this demo!

Excited to try this because I have been on the fence about the game. I really appreciate it when dev/publishers release demos so that I can make an informed purchase. But sadly, this one swayed me to NOT buy the game. The Ghostbusters vibe I love so much from the movies is there, but the gameplay felt decidedly average.
