bout damn time, I wants me some demos

How will we be getting these demos? Nintendo Power, perhaps.......at least then I would actually have a reason to renew my subscription...

Nice. They better not put them in Nintendo Power, though... I'd hate to have to subscribe to that. : (

They should distribute them at game stores for free, like they did with the preview DVD a while back.

Hope this busts sales... It would be great.

Now how about doing something about the fact X-box costs the same as the GCN here in Europe.

Sweet... a little late, but better late than never..

It doesn't really though. There are places selling the Cube for lower than £100 with a free game. Places like Argos and Tower London are selling the Cube with a free game and memory card for £80. And other shops have price match policies.

It's just that the RRP is the same, but that isn't really the case when it comes to buying both consoles at a lot of places now.

BreakABone, did they just announce that TWW is a part of the free game deal, or is there actually a bundle like there will be in Europe (Platinum Cube, TWW AND bonus disk, with special box)?
