Get your Ratchet and Clank Future demo today from GameStop! photo

Why wait until October 4 for the Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Desteruction demo to hit the PlayStation Network? Run to your local GameStop/EB Games and pick one up today!

I received a text message (a.k.a., an IRL tip) from a buddy telling me he had picked up a copy of the demo at his GameStop today. Not one to trust my friends (who are mainly thieves and other assorted charlatans), I demanded pictures, which he produced. But being the good blogger that I am, I had to verify this for myself. 

Sure enough, I was able to walk into my nearest EB Games and easily snag my own copy. Your mileage on this may vary, as some stores may not have yet received their demos, but they should start trickling into stores over the next week or so. You might also be told you'll have to reserve the game in order to receive a demo; if that's the case, stomp your feet and threaten to call the store's district manager. That always does the trick.

Enjoy!

[Thanks, Michael!]

This is one of of those games I would enjoy having if I had a PS3. I have the PSP R&C and it's pretty dope.

A few things:

Apparently there is framerate and vsync issues with the demo. Insomniac has already posted over in their forums:

"Just so everyone is clear, this is our E3 build of the game. This build is nearly 3 months old. The frame and VSync (tearing) issues are no longer there."

Also supposedly the Oct 4th demo will be newer than this.

I don't suppose this would replace the RR/VF5/AC/MS/NBA/Genkai demo disc that has been in every frigging ps3 demo station since launch, will it?

apparently according to Insomniac, it's from an older build and the demo in October will be a near final build. But I don't care...bitches...

I gotsta gits one of these, I haven't pulled my GTA IV SE reserve yet, so if I need to reserve the game, I'll just do that and then pull it later. (And yes you can pull reserves to get your cash back.
