God of War: Chains of Olympus demo disc finally gets shipped

by Andrew Yoon { Sep 27th 2007 at 10:00PM }

That took long enough.

The God of War: Chains of Olympus Special Edition: Battle of Attica demo disc (also lovingly abbreviated as GOW: COO –SE:BoADD) is going to make its September release date, with only a few days to spare. This demo is quite possibly the most anticipated demo in recent memory, with forums constantly abuzz about its ever-shifting release date. Considering the limited number of copies being printed, it might actually end up being a collector's item (let's see how much it goes for on eBay).

We're eagerly awaiting our demo discs, just like you, and we can't wait to share our impressions of Kratos' upcoming PSP adventure with you.

[Thanks, kspraydad!]

Kspraydad @ Sep 27th 2007 10:17PM

I understand that us poor Canucks aren't getting our discs...It'll be a cold winter until March 4th I tells ya.

Demos on physical discs are just old hat... how about saving resources and providing the demo through a download through the PSP directly or through a website then people could just copy it over to their PSP through a USB connection... wasting a whole UMD for a DEMO seems just that... a waste...

Kspraydad @ Sep 27th 2007 10:29PM

@Heishiro...

I disagree...opening that package and slipping that disc in would be such a sweet feeling...

As for downloadables....PSPFanboy did post that it may happen too:

Erik @ Sep 27th 2007 10:42PM

how do we know who's getting the demo?

Kspraydad @ Sep 27th 2007 10:56PM

@7 You would have a: signed up for it and b: got a confirmation email in early Sept.

Kattleox @ Sep 27th 2007 11:56PM

@3

But if EVERYONE was getting the Demo via DLC, what would that be? This demo, being limited and all, has made MASSIVE hype for less money than printing a huge ad campaign just to get sued by Hillary Clinton or Jack Thompson or someone else for being racist, violent, marketed to infants, subconciously making children obese killing machines, et cetera

Oh.

Fucking.

Yes.

:D

Finaly the wait is coming to an end? Wonder witch will show up first disc demo by mail or download by PSPFanboy. Eiter way i cant wait.

PSP_Amigo @ Sep 28th 2007 12:59AM

I am glad the are doing old disc demos with this, but still couldn't they reach more people with a download service? More people would get it, more people would show it off to there friends with and without PSP's.
Can't really see a downside to this except if they pass this chance up to increase sales. Let's not kid ourselves, this game WILLSELL PSP's, I would imagine there are plenty of GOW fan's that do not yet own a PSP and have looking for just the right reason to get one!

daniel-kun @ Sep 28th 2007 4:43AM

Someone with the demo might as well rip it and put it on bittorrent...
Back in the PSone days, where the PSone was not called PSone, yet, there was a Playstation Magazine that came out every month and had a CD with many demos on it. Haven't seen that for the PS2 or the PSP, though. I'd definitely buy a magazine with a demo-UMD on it! Yeah

Alien @ Sep 28th 2007 8:01AM

Wow , thats one amazing pack ... man I hope a downloadable one will come to :)

JodyAnthony (FDF - Hedonism Bot) @ Sep 28th 2007 8:32AM

theres a good chance the demo will be hundreds of megabytes. most downloadable psp demos are way small.

Tim Parsons @ Sep 28th 2007 9:09AM

Does SONY ever Send Demos or anything to Canadian PSU memebers??

I've been a PSU memeber since 2005 I had my PSone registered, MY PS2 soon as I got it, my PS3, and I register all the Games I get. And I sign-up for every demo and contest. I've yet to get a damn thing in the mail from them.

Hope the downloadable Demo comes soon

Lord Rinja @ Sep 28th 2007 9:30AM

Yoon, thanks for the info. I hope the demo gets here soon. I'm eager to show it off to my co-workers. Also, I just can't wait for some portable decapatation. Lol, any mini-games involving..., well you get the picture.

Tim Parsons @ Sep 28th 2007 9:57AM

@17 Lord Rinja

LOL i would think they would include a scene somewhere in the very beginning of the game same as with GoW and GoW II

emirabal @ Sep 28th 2007 10:20AM

ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME, ive been checking my mailbox every damn day for the past 2 weeks.

linebeginstoblur @ Sep 28th 2007 10:45AM

I've signed up for a few PSP demo discs and I have never received any. Killzone: Liberation, Jeanne d'Arc, etc. I specifically signed up to get them, they confirmed they'd send them, and they've never come. Not only am I a PSU member, but I'm a GAP member, and I'm from America. I feel a little left out, and I'm very certain I won't be getting this in the mail either.
