Well, I actually am in the States currently without my PS3 so it doesn't bother me too much with the demo. But I am super excited, I believe the most since FIFA 2000. I havn't played a NBA game since months (just CH08) since they annoy me too much by now, but NBA games are by far my favourite to play, although I am a soccer guy (well I am from Germany). However I cannot wait for the final game. As you know I already played the demo, which has been awesome. But unfortunately I don't even know when they are going to release the game in Germany. It might be oct. 6th, it might be a week later...however since i have to make up some tests early oct. I kinda hope for Live to be in store shelves a week later, b/c I KNOW I won't be able to resist buying and playing it the days through
