Dammit Sony!

pretty good idea,hey,once the ps3 is hacked/ comes out for psp,some hackers may figure out a way to "unlock it",and we get to keep full demos.

(uhhghh,i know. fantasizing)

but if they give you the full game as a demo won't that make the demos themselves MASSIVE in terms of HDD space required for each demoYes, unless they went with the only (only include 1-2 levels and no/little storyline) routine.
Or, maybe they intend to use this on consoles, a new type of demo disc?

Not having superhuman ability. If you give somebody the new Zelda game they're certainly not going to beat it and grow sick of it in 3 hours or so, for example.

XD you never played minish cap i guess, you can easily beat it in a few hours

maybe if you skip all the side quests and dont collect the heart pieces...

This is pretty sleazy and there's no reason to do something like this.

I actually enjoyed collecting demo discs during the PSX era.

Sony is just fucking people. This is their Big Brother attitude at its purest.

(In b4 M$ and Nintendo all do the same thing. That should be obvious.)

sounds good to me, I think demos they way they are now can sometimes hurt the game (dead space) because it hard to show people what the game is all about with out giving too much away. I think it would be cool if i could demo 6 tacks of GT5 and 7 cars that way I can really see if I like the game instead of getting 1 track and 1 car right off the bat. I could see this working really well on the PSP.

 

[shakirmoledina]

well if u could hack the demo's timer, then the problem would be removed

 

[Demonbart]

^This. So all in all, great idea sony! please start using it asap!

Well if they take away stuff as you continue to play, how will you know what's the true game or not?

I assume they'd only take away stuff you used or knew existed, and would let you visually know when something became locked.
