Played both demos, enjoy Split/Second a lot more than Blur. Just more fun, better looking, and seemingly a better game. Loved it.

Does it have an actual lisenced soundtrack or just a generic one?

This wait a week for demo cause you're silver stuff is ridiculous. Thought I'd be able to try it thursday on PS3 but nope.

I thought Blur was more fun. Split Second to me was quite boring.....not much going on.

Good deal on Amazon.

$45 for it with release day shipping and a $10 future gaming credit.

Still $59.99 in Canada. Loved the demo.

The demo has been up in the Euro PSN for a week just in case someone wanted it and didn't want to wait a few hours.

Really like the demo.

Me and my friends all downloaded it and have been playing just the one level trying to get the best time. It's actually pretty intense as we are now breaking the 4:00 mark and beating each other by fractions of a second.

For those who have the game or played the demo, are there any other shortcuts or route changes other then the one where you make the tower fall down and it redirects you onto the runway, and the shortcut which makes the crane go up?

So did anyone buy this game or have any more reviews of the demo? I won't have time to check out the demo but if it's great I may order online for getting it the weekend.
