We were wowed by Black in our hands on preview a couple of weeks ago. Now you have the chance to feel the same. Thanks to EA, PALGN has 100 demos of Black to give away to our readers. We have 50 for the PlayStation 2 and 50 for Xbox.
All discs have now been allocated. We will notify everyone who will be receiving a disc via email. Thank you to all who participated!

I can definitely recall it being over 100 on a few occasions, most recently when the Revolution controller was unveiled at TGS - Brendan's up-to-the-minute article on the subject registered something like 400 hits within five minutes of being on the site.
The form loaded for me initally, but as it was being sent it went to the "Cannot find server" screen, so I refreshed. Some 3 or so minutes later it came back and was sent away. So fingers crossed.
Well I couldn't load anything on this site during the time. Took some 10 minutes or so before I got my entry in, but I did get my entry in so by the sounds of it I was successful. I hope so anyway.
Even if I am not though, I want to thank PALGN/EA/Criterion/Monkeys for holding the giveaway.
Ok, emails have all been sent (including to those people who missed out on the Xbox version).
We do have a few surplus PS2 discs. I'm not sure if we'll have surplus Xbox discs since they haven't been sent yet to us yet. If anyone missed out and really wants one, just send me a pm with your name, postal address and system you want the disc on.
It may take a while to send out the discs. Apparently the post office has to bulk order the disc mailers and that will take some time. Everyone should have the disc before the game is released on the 28th, though.

I noticed at my local newsagent today that the current Official Playstation 2 Australia magazine has a Black demo on the cover disc. I did not buy the mag, so can not say whether it's playable or not, etc.?...
