Old store: Open store, find what you want straight away, click download, exit store, all in the space of 15 seconds. Unreal experience going back to it.

New store: None of the above.

Damn, my internet is being slow. At this rate, someone will upload a playthrough on youtube before I'm finished downloading :(
 
WTF? The demo is region locked!

No...no....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Nanikore.

As in you have to stay on your JP account to play it or it won't play on NA consoles?

You can't play it at all on a US console. I initially switched back over to my US account and got the "This software cannot be started due to region restrictions." message, and then I went back to my Japanese account and got the same message.

Weird. Welp, paused at 44%.

If you bought ZoE over here the demo was in English right? Any ETA on when that is supposed to be on PSN?

bish gets all the credit :)
1. Konami includes the demo on the disc, instead of a download (ZOE HD PS3)
2. Konami prints a separate disc for the demo, instead of a download (ZOE HD 360)
3. Konami region locks the demo on J-PSN

what the hell...

I guess I'll still try it since my PS3 is Japanese, but this fucking sucks. I hate region locking.
 
I remember when Microsoft actually removed the Japanese RE5 demo from peoples consoles if they weren't Japanese. I just don't get why these companies don't want people playing their demos.

I'm going to go ahead and say that the ZOE HD collection is the reason for the region lock.
