Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 10:17 AMIs this just part of the full game anyone? Or an addition like with decidia?
Joe
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 10:24 AMYeah, I can’t see it on XBL either. Is it out in Australia yet? If not, why are we getting this story?

Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 12:32 PMAU PSN don’t have it either. I made a throwaway US account on PSN and downloaded the demo.

Nestama
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 11:21 AMHm… so I guess the demo won’t be up until 8PM, then?
davegibbon
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 11:29 AMI read somewhere that it was only available for Gold members. Can anyone confirm this?
Nestama
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 11:45 AMIt isn’t. Then again, it has been 30 minutes since I last checked.
Karachi King
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 11:59 AMIt’s up on the US XBL marketplace, but it’s not available in Australia.
Not sure about PSN.
Joe
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 12:01 PMYeah, I’m a gold member (XBL) and it’s just not there.
Nestama, what makes you say 8pm?
Nestama
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 12:14 PMJust a hunch.
LukeN
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 12:57 PMBeen up for gold members on the US marketplace since last night. Surprised gold aussies don’t have it yet.
KRiSX
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 12:28 PMlooks like i’ll be getting this from the US PSN cause Aussies are getting screwed on PSN and XBL :(
Blomby
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 12:30 PMI’m assuming its available for silver XBL members as well?

Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 3:00 PMFor 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.

Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 3:19 PMStill no sign of the demo anywhere on the playstation network.
LukeN
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 5:01 PMWell 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.
Joe
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 9:25 PMThanks 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.
Phil
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 8:46 PMI wouldn’t expect it to be up on the Aussie store yet, as the store updates Early thursday
Davegibbon
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 9:31 PMIt’s up on the Australian store now but only for Gold members!
Nestama
Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 9:44 PMDang. I was off by one hour. Oh well, points for being close.
