As Sony lovers huddle around their PS3s, holding out their frozen little hands to bask in the warm glow of Blu-ray, they patiently await word from on high that just a sliver of Killzone 2 has arrived to save them. They'll have to wait just a little bit longer, as word has it that the demo will arrive at about 5pm UK time.
"PSN updates vary but hopefully around 5pm everyone should be able to download it," said a SCEE rep, adding that he was "very excited" about the download's launch. Only a couple of hours to go!
The demo includes the first two sections of the game's first chapter, along with a tutorial stage. All European accounts should be able to download it, but if you insist on only having a US account, the only way you can obtain the file is by preordering the PS3 exclusive from Gamestop. The full game is available on February 27, and the demo should be available to everybody just before street date.

FUCK YES!
C'moooon 5 o clock.... Baby steps to 5 o clock.... baby steps to 5 o clock.
Also Jim, you don't have to pander to the K2 is the messiah crap that will save PS3. PS3 has never needed a killer app, because it's had several already. Only thing it needs is more advertising, and less FUD.
son of a bitch
I finish work at 5pm. I'm running home like Charlie with his golden ticket.
I wouldn't expect it to finish anytime soon after it comes out, Seeing as they've given a time, the whole world and his dog are going to be stealing our bandwidth.
I would love it, love it, If it was region locked to PAL PS3's.
FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Let my bro finish it before telling the bandwidth hogs of course.
EB games is owned by Gamestop, I live in BC and have my early access code :)
This is going to decide whether or not I actually reserve the game or not. I'm not an enormous FPS fan, so they have to be amazing for me to get really interested. If this demo is anything like what the beta testers have been saying, I'm going to be pleasantly surprised.
