Hey Jeremy
just to let you know, there is a demo of this.....but its only on the US PSN. So you can try it, but you just need a US account.
Side rant: why is there nothing really good on the australian PSN? why can't Sony Australia/Europe pump out the good stuff faster.
anyway, just noting it for you,
SumAznGuy

I'll probably be ordering it soon, too. Stuff downloading it off the net when you can buy the Asian region (Siren: New Translation) that already has the whole game, and is significantly cheaper (~AUS$65 vs AUS$50 x 4 packs! What a joke!). Funny that we're still getting screwjob pricing even when the whole 'Australia is far away' and 'market size' excuses they always use are made irrelevant with digital distribution...

Uhh, what? $50 is for ALL the packs in one.

I think that is what he meant. I bought the Asian version from Play-Asia for about $52 AUD incl shipping after using a $10 off coupon.
I think the point he's trying to make is that for a digital download, the price should be significantly lower, not just a few dollars cheaper than a hard copy. I mean, if you downloaded them separately, doesn't that cost more than what I paid for it on disc?

You're right, I misunderstood the article. It lists the full price on the side but the article is only about the first pack.
My point is still valid, though.

Wow...I didnt read the actual article, but judgeing from the screenshots alone..this looks amazing. Can anyone confirm if the play asia account still ships with the OST?

Yeah, the demo is quite good for what it is. Plan on getting this from Play-Asia in the near future.

I played the first 4 eps. I found the gameplay to be pretty decent. Unfortunately the story really lets it down - there's no hooks to drawn you in. I can't see myself going back and playing the rest of the series.

^ From what I have read in previous weeks of researching the game, the first 1/4 of the game is meant to be 'meh' and the last 2/3 or 3/4 is meant to be much better (storywise, I think).

If you're talking about the original soundtrack that I have read people have been recieving in their orders, I'll let you know if I get one with mine (which will hopefully be here tomorrow).

Zhou, I got the game today and I didn't get anything extra with the game. So unless the OST is on the actual game disc (which I highly doubt), I didn't get it.
