God of War III demo is GO
True to its word, SCEE is now sending out mails with promo codes to get the God of War III demo, which is now available.
We’re downloading as we type. It’s the E3 code. Says so on the splash screen.
It’s a 2.7Gb file and it looks as though PSN’s having a good old groan at the moment: only 333 minutes to go.
The game’s out next March.

I played this for 20 or so minutes at the Leeds Eurogamer Expo.
It’s awesome… anyone downloading the demo is in for a treat.
Can anyone get a code BTW? And if so, where do I sign up? I wouldn’t mind the demo.

I hate to be pedantic, but a Gb is technically 8x smaller than a GB (1 Gb = 1 billion bits opposed to 1 billion bytes of a GB).

30/10/09, 10:36 pm
Heh. We always write gigabyte like that. My fault: just feels “right”.
29%. 171 minutes to go. I’m off to bed. Night!

I got into this business two years ago, and was promised perks and witty banter. Where the hell are my perks?

Just finished playing through it, bloody brilliant. Still going to import the collection as I’ve not played any of the other games yet either.

Yeah.
Played this at Eurogamer, loved it then. Love it more now.
Frankly beautiful. Just as much as Uncharted 2, but in a brutal way compared to Uncharted 2′s lush visuals.

Shush, I am usually like you, telling people to stop whining about their connections, but other demos haven’t taken this long.
The Ratchet demo was the same size, and took 10 minutes.

Didn’t take too long here – about an hour.
Just played through it anyway – a lot of fun. Very gruesome but some entertaining scenery elements in there

I wonder by what criteria they hand these codes out? I must have spent hundreds on the PSN, so they’re clearly not using it as an opportunity to reward good customers.
