    Cool. I wasn’t able to try out the demo at NYAF/Comic Con (too many people!), so I’ll definitely try out this demo.

    Is this actually going to be the demo in the Bresha Ruins that they’ve been showing a lot of? I would like to see something new, but I won’t complain. The chance to play the game early is good enough. =D

      @zakou:
      This was said by the guys at the PSN blog so…I don’t see why this wouldn’t be true :P They’re usually right about this, and only on occasion does content from the store gets delayed.

    Yay!!! Although I dont know if I want to play the demo or not considering it releases in less than a month. I played the XIII (Advent Children Complete) demo so much I really wanted to just skip that part in it’s eventual release. Still liked the game though:O)

    Good… It’ll help me wait ’till the game gets released. And since I live in Brazil, it’ll help me wait while it reachs my country, while I see all of you living in NA talking about how amazing the game is… lol

    Actually the sales haven’t had the big drops similar games usually have.

    Tales of Xillia dropped 91% in its 2nd week,
    XIII dropped 87%
    and XIII-2 dropped 77%.

    At the moment XIII-2 has done 700K while Tales of Xillia remained at 600K total
