Did you get your God of War demo discs?

by Andrew Yoon { Oct 16th 2007 at 3:33PM }

Many readers have been sending us tips, saying the God of War demo discs simply have not arrived in their inbox. A representative from SCEA confirmed with PSP Fanboy that the discs were shipped out the week of September 24th. Everyone that signed up for the demo should have received it by now. We'd like to know the truth.

DO NOT VOTE IN THIS POLL IF YOU DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THE DEMO DISC FROM THE OFFICIAL GOD OF WAR WEBSITE IN THE SUMMER. These results, and your comments, will be sent to Sony so that we can investigate what's really going on. Your help is much appreciated!

Sonsuvbiches. If they weren't going to send me one, they didn't have to keep teasing me with the damned e-mails. Bastids.

Zero101 @ Oct 16th 2007 3:42PM

Signed up for the demo and have received a bunch of emails saying it was coming... but no demo yet. I hope it is still coming :(

Ed @ Oct 16th 2007 3:46PM

If they did ship it to anyone but the press, I find it odd that I haven't seen one on eBay.

Storm Shadow @ Oct 16th 2007 3:50PM

All I got was a bunch of teaser E-mails. What gives?

GreG @ Oct 16th 2007 4:00PM

I am glad that I wasn't the only one who has yet to receive their GOD OF WAR Demo in the mail. I am just hoping some idiot isn't hoarding the copies of the demo somewhere.

MazenH @ Oct 16th 2007 4:00PM

I did sign up for the demo, haven't received it yet.

Brandon @ Oct 16th 2007 4:00PM

Its been the same deal with me as with you guys. I was getting emails saying its coming, and others afterwards with video and images leading up to when they were supposed to ship. But I havnt received it yet, its strange. I normally always get UMD demo's in a sort of timely manner, in many cases totally unexpectantly.

Gorvi @ Oct 16th 2007 4:02PM

I signed up for it within hours of the site for it going up, and I haven't gotten mine yet.

Krusty @ Oct 16th 2007 4:02PM

I also thought I was just unlucky to be at the end of the mailing or something. Still nothing for me :(.

Lee @ Oct 16th 2007 4:02PM

Never got one. Never got the email saying I was going to recieve it, just the initial 'you successfully signed up' email.

I didn't get the Jeanne D'Arc demo either. If somebody has a spare copy of that to toss around, send it to me maybe? :( I wanted that one worse then God of War.

FatalChaos @ Oct 16th 2007 4:03PM

I received every email, have checked my mail box daily for the demo. To my suprise nothing :(.

Haiddasalami @ Oct 16th 2007 4:06PM

i have ps3 and psp fanboy sites of rss. And i believe i was probably one of the first people to sign up...I still havent recieved my demo and thought since i was in Canada thats why. Every playstation demo takes forever to reach me

joey @ Oct 16th 2007 4:09PM

Where's the downloadable version?
Serious, Where?

Surtur @ Oct 16th 2007 4:17PM

What is this God of War you speak of?

required @ Oct 16th 2007 4:18PM

All I have received is one email on June 28th (after I signed up) saying, "your demo is coming 9/07".

Macbeth @ Oct 16th 2007 4:19PM

Never got this demo or the Jeanne D'Arc demo.I think Sony's full of it.Did get Dark Mirror,though don't want it.

dc69 @ Oct 16th 2007 4:19PM

Well, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one screwed by this. Maybe Sony will actually act on it's new policy of being "truthful" and give us a good reason.

bxbailey @ Oct 16th 2007 4:21PM

They should have made this a download, WHO IS RUNNING THAT COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY CAN'T THEY DO ANYTHING RIGHT ANYMORE!!!!!!!

Xcaliber @ Oct 16th 2007 4:26PM

no demo :(

duskcat @ Oct 16th 2007 4:26PM

Yeah, I haven't gotten either my God of War demo or my Jeanne D'Arc demo. This makes me sad.

upz @ Oct 16th 2007 4:27PM

How come none of the people who actually HAVE received the demo are saying anything?

Joe @ Oct 16th 2007 4:28PM

I have gotten to e-mail the first one said I would be getting it then the second one said I should be getting it soon and still no demo. I am starting to wonder if I will not get it at all or if I will have to wait 4 to 6 weeks for it. Seeing as some things take long to ship. May be Sony just did not want to pay a lot of money to ship them so it is going to take some time.

Jason @ Oct 16th 2007 4:29PM

Thanks for looking into this matter! I have not received my demo (despite signing up and receiving conformation) but I for sure received megs and megs of e-mail promoting the little GOW vids and telling me the demo was gonna arrive and blah blah blah.

Brandon @ Oct 16th 2007 4:29PM

It may be because its too large to make for a reasonable filesize for a downloadable demo.

Brok3nHalo @ Oct 16th 2007 4:30PM

Wow, didn't realize so many people didn't get one.
I signed up and mine didn't get here yet, just assumed some kids off my street stole it. I don't live in the best neighborhood...

Sony should really pull themselves together...

NoBullet @ Oct 16th 2007 4:30PM

Never got it. And the emails saying I hope youre enjoying the demo pisses me off even more.

Jus10p @ Oct 16th 2007 4:32PM

Signed up for mine the first day you could. I have a number of e-mails saying the demo is on its way and one with a link to download the mp3 that says I should have it already. Still haven't received anything.

SonyTookMYDemo @ Oct 16th 2007 4:34PM

Whoever is saying Yes, is a liar.

RadioScott @ Oct 16th 2007 4:38PM

Well, I'm glad I'm not alone. Seems like I've received every other demo disc they've ever sent out. But the God of War demo? Nothing yet.

NukeAssault @ Oct 16th 2007 4:39PM

Nope, i got the email saying i would and everything.

NukeAssault @ Oct 16th 2007 4:39PM

Or Jeanne D'Arc.

Joh64 @ Oct 16th 2007 4:40PM

Nope, I order one. It was confirmed. I figured the mail man took my copy.

JKPierce @ Oct 16th 2007 4:42PM

I love how these always devolve into 'Sony lies!' If you've got no idea what's going on and you haven't bothered asking, why are you complaining?

It's not hard to imagine there's some problem; one has to remember that Sony, et al are companies that want one's money en masse. To think that they'd deliberately piss off their userbase is ridiculous--not that logic has ever stood in the way of hyperbole.

No demo received for me, though. Like someone said on PS.Blog, mail men and women have stoled our demos.

farfisa @ Oct 16th 2007 4:43PM

I signed up right away and got a confirmation screen but never got any emails. I'm in Canada and figured that's why I didn't get it, but at the same time I was a little pissed that the form let me sign up if I had no chance of getting one. I mean, why bother with the tease.

But if so many people in the States didn't get theirs, well that gives me hope again. Not much hope, but hope.

Aaron @ Oct 16th 2007 4:48PM

I signed up got the confirmation e-mail as well as all of the other GOW e-mails saying its coming soon etc...

I have not received my GOW demo UMD.

Ed @ Oct 16th 2007 4:52PM

Still no comments from the 2-3% who did get it? Methinks there are liars among us.

Sammie @ Oct 16th 2007 4:58PM

Totally didn't get mine...c'mon Sony, my Star Wars PSP needs some GOW love!

yeah @ Oct 16th 2007 5:00PM

I got my demo

Carlos @ Oct 16th 2007 5:06PM

Signed up, received confirmation e-mails and I still wait in anitcipation that I when I get back home from work everyday, I would see my GoW Demo waiting for me at home only to be disappointed every night =(

Snypher @ Oct 16th 2007 5:07PM

I signed up the first day. Got many e-mail confirmations but no demo...

Ed @ Oct 16th 2007 5:07PM

38. I got my demo
Posted at 5:00PM on Oct 16th 2007 by yeah

And yet you post: "28. Whoever is saying Yes, is a liar.
Posted at 4:34PM on Oct 16th 2007 by SonyTookMYDemo"

Go away.

chkn @ Oct 16th 2007 5:08PM

I also got many e-mails saying that mt demo was coming, but nothing yet.

chkn @ Oct 16th 2007 5:13PM

I also got e-mails saying that my demo was coming, but nothing yet.

Mark M @ Oct 16th 2007 5:20PM

I just got mine today.

thedude @ Oct 16th 2007 5:26PM

same as everyone else here.

i signed up WAY early, and got a bunch of confirmation e-mails saying congrats you got it! but nothing has come, not even another email saying they ran out or something......wtf is up SONY?

extremo113 @ Oct 16th 2007 5:27PM

i have yet to receive any of the demos I signed up for: Syphon filter, Jeanne D' Arc, and God of War. It would be nice If SCEA would just send me another email saying that I wasn't getting one instead of sending the follow-up messages about the game themselves.
