    Yeah, I can’t see it on XBL either. Is it out in Australia yet? If not, why are we getting this story?

      AU PSN don’t have it either. I made a throwaway US account on PSN and downloaded the demo.

      Getting this as it is just another copy paste from the US kotaku.

    I read somewhere that it was only available for Gold members. Can anyone confirm this?

      It isn’t. Then again, it has been 30 minutes since I last checked.

    It’s up on the US XBL marketplace, but it’s not available in Australia.

    Not sure about PSN.

    Yeah, I’m a gold member (XBL) and it’s just not there.
    Nestama, what makes you say 8pm?

    For every post about FFXIII-2, there’s never a shortage of negativity, criticism and pessimism – usually citing XIII, and an unwavering doubt as to what XIII-2 will be. Dangle a demo in front of people and isn’t it funny how the tune changes.

    For reference of my standpoint, I can’t wait for XIII-2, and I thought XIII was good, too. Hope it’s available from AU PSN soon, as the US download speeds are always a bit crummy for me.

    Well just finished the demo, ended up creating a US xbox live account and getting it that way. Must say I had a blast, 2 1/2 hours not bad for a demo. Can’t wait for the release.

      Thanks for the suggestion, LukeN. It worked like a charm and the demo is downloading now. Also excited to get the Catherine demo that hasn’t been released on our Aussie XBL yet.
