Comments regarding the 360 demo of NASCAR indicate you should probably terminate the download at the earliest opportunity.

[Jebus]

Definitely, I tried the 360 demo and it was horrendous...

[JP]

I tried both within a few days of each other and I really couldn't tell the difference between them.

Nothing good to say about them at all.

I think NASCAR has much potential as an arcade type franchise a la Sega but this was totally characterless for me.

I'm wondering just how many people would have turned around after the 1st lap and drove head on into the other racers due to the main race being so bad?

I actually tried to trash my car any way possible after about half a lap. Was certainly more fun than racing the damn thing anyway!

Exactly what i did, then 5 mins later it was deleted from my poor PS3

[JP]

I managed a full lap and a bit on the 360 version but about 20 seconds of steering ever so slightly left a few days later on the PS3 version was all I could stand before I had to end it all!!

I've not played FIFA for years but I keep hoping that they produce a really good game to give me something else to play along with Pro Evo.

[Jebus]

The last fifa was pretty good actually, different to pro evo, they were good companions for one another, I never actually had a favourite.

Playing the Fifa 08 demo on pc right know and even though it looks the same game as last years (due to pc getting crappy ps2 port) it certainly plays alot better,anyone with a mediocre PC setup should be able to run it and is well worth a look.

According to UK videogame site CVG, Loco Roco Cocoreccho is rolling onto the UK PSN next week for the budget price of just £1.99. This puts it significantly cheaper than the Japanese release, which at 800 yen puts it at almost 2x the cost of the UK release.

Nice one

IGN is reporting that they have finally found out when the Ratchet and Clank demo will be availaboe on the PSN. The demo has supposedly been ready to go for months now but Sony has simply refused to put it up for download. All that will change, however. Come October 4th we'll all be playing the first level of our favourite PS3 mascot platformer. Presumably this is the US release. No doubt the EU PSN will get it around ... January 2008? If we're lucky.

Even nicer one!!

At a press event today in Croatia, the Director of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Amy Hennig, has revealed the release date for the game. The highly anticipated Naughty Dog title will be available in America on the 20th of November. As for us Europeans, we need not fear. We'll be seeing it hit our shelves "this Christmas."

Not PSN related but NICEEEEEEEEE ONE!!!

[Geezer]

Tony Hawk's demo today for the US, not sure about the EU.
Apparently EA submitted a PS3 Skate demo at the same time as the 360 one, yet it's still not on PSN, maybe it'll show up today as well.

I'm still waiting for Puzzle Fighter, apparently it's SCEE's fault as opposed to Capcom's. A couple of EU mags have also reported Tekken isn't going online in the EU until November

Right, that's it, I'm setting up a US store account, that's all there is to it!

Question has to be, why?

FIFA08 demo apparently will be up on the US store this afternoon, ~17:00. Not on the EU store though, which is surely ****ing nuts?

[ChrisF]

Same as the 360 version. Odd isn't it!

[Number45]

It surely is. Apparent problems with the EU version. I might check the official forums for larks though, all hell will probably break loose.

EDIT: Bah! You have to register.
