Just finished the demo and…..

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!

Great job on this game and great idea on the “demo-to-final-save-technology”! Please do this for future games as well, I really love the idea.

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate you guys sending out these physical media demos in an age where everything is downloads, downloads, downloads, an actual disc with some nice packaging is so refreshing.

I finally got my demo and I am more than happy with it. Can’t wait to sink my teeth in the final build. Thanks goes out to all those involved in the making of this excellent game.

@ kedaro
I completely agree with your suggestion but it should include as many countries as possible BTW thanks for the info about DMC downloading demo right now

Well, after not finding an answer to my question about Patapon orders online (#63) I drove all the way to a GameStop to try to get an answer. WHAT A WASTE!!! I will NEVER shop at GameStop in person or online again – exclusive demo or not!

The only employee in the store had no interest at all in helping me with anything! All my questions were answered with”Um…I don’t know, I guess not…”

Plus, the DS Download Station in the store was not working, and when I asked the employee what was wrong he said that I was doing it wrong, but that he didn’t know the right way – and he had no interest in finding out. I finally found a poster hidden on a wall behind a stack of junk, and sure enough – I was doing it right. When I pointed this out to the employee his response was “Huh.” I was the ONLY customer in the store, and he had no interest in helping me out .

What’s the problem with them??? GameStop’s prices aren’t great, so customer service is all they have to distinguish themselves from the competition – and their customer service STINKS!

As much as I would love the Patapon demo I guess, like so many of you, I’ll have to wait until someone uploads a gamesave somewhere. What a disappointment. You can be sure I’ll be sending this to GameStop as well…

Correction. At the current exchange rate UK gamers have to pay the equivalent of *FIFTY DOLLARS* for this game.

Gee, thanks Sony. Europe is leading the PS3 fight back for you and we still have to pay double or more for all your PS products.

And we still don’t get PSN bowling……….

With PSN and the PSP Store, why isn’t this made available via download? It’s seems interesting but not worth stepping into a GameStop…

I got an idea, how about… anyone who buys a new psp game, gets a demo of Patapon, no matter what store… or vendor it’s from? And after that, whatever demo you are running then, and so on, and so forth… I could see a snowball effect like what happened with the PlayStation2…

Any positions in marketing or PR open atm? argh! wait, I might be a little to abraisive for PR… but I’m observant enough for marketing. And I’m temporarily available.

:::off topic:::
Really flippin’ soon, I played the DMC4 demo from the PSN, I was going to put it off and buy burnout first, but now I’ve decided I’ll be buying both at the same time, DMC4 even though multi-platform now, is definitely worth my $$$, and not to stab at the article we’re typing in or anything…

… I tried the demo on the PSN, so I know it’s not just a series rehash of old DMC mechanics etc…

…In retrospect a new IP should definitely have an open public demo.

Hi I have the same problem as #15, 17 and 23

Im from Mexico (that means I payed what would be like $550 dollars to get my psp1000 or “fatty”, like $1,000 for my day one ps3 and like $50 dollars for psp games and $80 for any ps3 games AND there is no gamestop, we exist too! )

so is there a way that we, who dont have any gamestop in our country, will be able to download
oh well the game looks great so i will buy it, but it is really frustrating not to be able to get the spear
