Pre-order Brutal Legend for early access to the demo photo

Why wait until September 17 to play Brütal Legend when you can do so a little in advance? As we guessed earlier, one of the pre-order bonuses for the rocktacular game will indeed be a chance to get the demo early -- reserve your copy at GameStop in-store, and you'll get a redeemable code as early as September 11.

Oh, and in case you forgot, pre-ordering will also net you a slick Tenacious D guitar for use in multiplayer. I was already sold on Brütal Legend before today, but the creature designs and album cover-inspired worlds shown during the EA gamescom conference really stood out. I need this game!

Sorry, but this game looks stupid. It looks like something GH fanboys will buy, but a pass for everyone else.

no way, i strongly dislike guitar hero but i love psychonauts and also metal. this is a game that looks great and appeals to my metal goofball sensibilities. plus it has lemmy from motorhead. why are you such a sour puss? no hugs as a little kid-kid?

I think what Grim meant was that the demo comes out on Sept. 17th.

Also, @h5e5l5l5o5

That's certainly your opinion, but for me this is one of maybe three games that are coming out this fall that I actually will be buying. I can't wait for it.

h5, are you a troll? Every post I've seen you make seems to be flamebait.

I hate the preorder for a demo idea, but I still want it.

haha, NO, sorry though. I guess it was a stupid thought of mine. But this game looks stupid, my opinion.

If it wasn't for Psychonauts I probably wouldn't be paying much attention to this, but I have a feeling it will be taking up a lot of my time.

This game seems so promising. I hope it doesn't let down.

I can't fathom the logic behind this. You have to pre-order the game to get early access to a demonstration of the game. Surely the whole point of a game demonstration is so that one can assess the quality of a game and decide whether or not to purchase it.

So those that have already decided to order (and possibly already pay for) the game get the chance to decide before everyone else if they want to buy the game.

What a curious little industry this is.

pre-order-ers already know they want the game so the demo is more a "teaser" than a "demo" for them

That's so weird. I just pre-ordered this game at EB today and I had no idea!

I see very little point in this. It's just access to a level that will have to be played again when the full game arrives. I pre-ordered for the Tenacious D guitar. Now that's a deal!

Like many others, I don't understand pre-order demo bonuses.

@Arsenic: I think he meant the Demo comes out September 17, not the full game.

Pre-order a game to get that game's demo? How fucking pointless is that?

You guys are silly. Everybody knows that you preorder to get the demo, then once you've tried it, if you don't like the demo you can cancel your preorder. Sure, the GameStop clerk might try to talk you out of it (because it makes his numbers look bad) but if you ask, they have to give you your money back.

Christ, it's not like access to the demo only happens if you preorder, you just get it earlier. You know, as in the people who want to play this game might want to play a demo as quickly as possible? I prefer that to a lot of other useless shit some offer for preorder.

Besides, this isn't the first time. They pulled this for preordering Infamous as well. I preordered and played the demo early, and thoroughly enjoyed it; won't be any different with this game.
