Actually they did. With NHL 2k10.
Btw..l. as far as my 2 cents on the no demo, I planned to go to best buy today to see the game. However with the snow here in New York I did not get to go. The earliest I will be able to go now is on monday.
I actually
have preordered the game. However at the same time let me say to all those who think it's not an issue at all for those on the fence, I think they are mistaken.
The point being made is, "
the demo will be there for them but just at a later time". The problem with this logic is, are these people who are using this argument then willing to
pay for their (those on the fence)
stadium upgrade that they will not get for free should they then decide to purchase the game?
Therein lies the problem with not having a demo
before the release date for those still on the fence.
