Not showing on the UK marketplace!

According to gamer.nl it’s coming out tomorrow… so which is it Major?

why not in germany?

Not in Portugal too

Not in Singapore either…

What gives, Major?

Shouldn’t this demo cost 400 M$ Points too, what with all of the continual over-monetization efforts by Micro$oft & its greedy publisher cohorts?

[In before the "but it's cheaper than a latte", "just get your mommy to pay for it", "it's only .83 cents a day" apologists: I have a job & likely make considerably more than you do; this rant is strictly regarding the principles behind Microsoft's continued price increases for XBL, arcade games, add-ons, avatars, and other infinitely reproducible content. The costs for implementing and maintaining servers have decreased exponentially during the life of XBL. Putting new content behind a paywall, much of which is free everywhere else & which is poorly integrated and barely used by most, is not a "value add" for anyone except Microsoft.]

no italy

Still not up on the UK market place.

not in mexico yet

Another crap US/Centre of the Universe exclusive?

The UK/Europe gets the demo on the 1st September guys.

Head of nail, consider yourself hammered.

Metal Gears of War Solid!

what about availability for Mexico ? it doesn’t belong to Europe.

And guys please stop saying stupid things such as “UK/Europe”, don’t you know that UK is in Europe ? just say “Europe” and be done.

come on! its just some robots, no blood! i hate my country for that!

I can’t see the demo in the europe marketplace

The demo isn’t anywhre anymore, the link doesn’t work, can’t even find it in the xbox.com page, it was there yesterday (but US only, of course). No matter, PSN has it for everyone, downloaded, pre-ordered for PS3.

It got delayed on Xbox 360 – http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-09-01-vanquish-demo-held-back-on-360

It is out tomorrow (2nd Sept) instead.

Major, please to be informing marketing team that they better shape up soonly or they will be at risk of fired. These information dleays must be providing at all time or confusing fanbase you would.

Had no problem downloading it last night. Played it. It’s wild and gameplay is decent but I’m not sure if this game is for me. Will wait for the reviews before considering buying it.

Really nice to delay it here in Europe, very appreciated
But, wait, not for the PS3?
And, you increase the live-costs, still I would get content faster on the Free PSN?
Something really fishy must be going on here, extra content or something, otherwise I think MS would never do such a political suicide. Pay 10$more, get content later, I mean, really??
Wanted to play this, glad my friend got a PS3 instead so we at least can play…
/Signed angry, disappointed gamer and customer.

Was surprised by this demo, it’s actually pretty damn good. Some great affects too! May have to pick it up.

Still no demo for us Brits/Euros.

I see it on Marketplace in the Xbox dash, but once I select it says “Content no longer available”. What gives?

cant wait till the game comes out it looks cool.

Wow people are really complaining about a minor delay? Awesome, would love to see them start their own “Live” service offering a plethora of amazing content, features and amazing online gaming. When they do, I’ll be the first to sign up cause they have no intention on being imperfect and delaying a demo by a day or two…

“Wow people are really complaining about a minor delay?”

If they want to jack up prices, they need to deliver on time.

^^What he said.

X Ray Hamburger when i pay for the same service as you i expect the same service

Sigh… yet another mess up.. Look the demo was up last night just about everywhere why pull it after so many have downloaded it? That’s just plain pointless. Put it back up. A flub happened.. whatever.

We do not pay for Xbox Live Gold to get Demos. Free Silver members get them too.

@TH3Hammer Was it MS who ordered the delay in the release or the developer/publisher? Unless it was MS themselves for some reason (which I tend to doubt unless I missed something), your complaint is moot.

Finally!
Took some time to get that demo ready for the 360

Great, great demo!
Love the game, Reach is certainly getting some competition
