Wow, how ridiculous. (PS3)

I want to ask a serious question here. Why does this keep happening to PS3 owners? Did MS pay to have it exclusive. If this is the case these devs need to put a stop to this crap. When will the gamer come first again?

The guys in the thread don't seem to know if this is a european release date for the demo (since the european game drops 3 weeks later) or the us release. I'm gonna hold off til I get more definitive answers.

We covered the demo release timeframe in the gameplay only thread:

Like I said, I will be happy to be wrong, and stated why I think the demo will come out at the last minute. This is a very distinct flavor of football and I am just of the opinion that it does a lot in the name of trying to do it's own thing and that can end up being a very bad thing for sales. The closer it is to release day that it comes out, the fewer that will play it and be able to figure that out rather than on the merits of it's television advertising and impulsively buy it as a football game.

I'm expecting the demo the week of, since a try out that validates all of the bad press that it's gotten in the 2-3 months prior to release would be kinda counter productive.

If the demo is awesome and fun and makes you beg for more, it should be out as soon as possible and it will drive sales (see: UFC 2009). Will be great if these dates end up being false and we see a demo next week. Maybe because you have to pay for bandwidth when you distribute content on the PS3 they're waiting until after the first wave of purchasers have picked it up to save some $. pjv31, I think this is why we see this happening, more than MS forking over cash for exclusives.

Sony stay getting pissed on. How could they stand for this or let this happen time after time. Are they going to sale the PS3 version for less or something?

I still don't get it-I checked the "Gameplay Only" thread. Just spell it out-what were you right about?

It was in regard to the demo coming out shortly before release.(unless you're a ps3 owner...in which case, after release)
