You're going to order a Japanese 1 month Live card with 24 hour shipping just for the demo?

I'd buy an Xbox for the demo if need be. I already bought a pack of DVD-R's this morning in order to avoid any possible frustrations. Serious business. :lol

Fixed.

Does it have to be a japanese card? Can't just use the code of one I bought in a american gamestop?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Not compatible.

Nope. Cards are region locked, both Points and Live Subscriptions. :/

 

[Dyno]

Who's played this yet, tell me who? WHO!?!

Surely the Japanese getting first crack at this game is going to rile most members of the U.N. and lead to admonishment, sanction, censure, and even war!

So, for those who dare court an international incident and have played the demo, is it unbelieveably amazing or just simply the plain old run of the mill amazing like we got in Resident Evil 4?

I've waited long for this game and I think it's clear that I haven't falled victim to hype yet.

Really ? I just used a US xbox live subscription code on my euro account and it worked fine. I thought it was points only that were locked.

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

Are you sure about that? I've heard several times that live subscritpion codes are region free.

I'm sure you can find it cheaper, or at least have a J-Gaffer help out. This wouldn't be bad if you intend to play the full version of Biohazard 5 on the Japanese server though.

Aren't those the free trials? Perhaps there is a difference between the bundled freebies and the actual subscription cards.

Last time I checked live account cards are not locked.

 

[Atrophis]

I have always used cheaper US live membership cards on my UK xbox without any problems.

 

[Revelations]

Well if thats true I'll go with the original plan and pick up a 1 month at gamestop for $6.99 and put it on the jpn.

 

[FrankT]

It's not out yet. Definitely within the next 24 hours, though.

Can't wait.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

So, exactly at what time the demo will be available ? (GMT if possible )

 

[∀ Narayan]

I will be getting this on the Xbox 360.

Gamertag: SYSTEM Turn A

 

[MMaRsu]

Anybody who can make a japanese account that has a new two weeks of gold? I already used all my extra gold accounts making them for usa japanese and UK .

Or if you have made one, can someone send me the login details so I can recover it once you have downloaded the demo? After that I would delete the account as I have no use for it really.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Thank god I still have 3 of my 3 free gold accounts you get when you buy a 360. Hell thank god my launch box is still working

 

[MMaRsu]

See post above yours

 

[Angelus Errare]

Got ya

 

[Facism]

Just for my information, is the posting of links for torrents of 360 demos allowed?

 

[Coin Return]

WHERE'S MAH DEMO?!?!?!

 

[Grimm Fandango]

It's going to be a looooong day. And I have a damn anatomy test to study for.

 

[FrankT]

Just hit midnight in Toyko (Dec 5th) so who knows how long until it hits.

 

[kbear]

Hey bro would I be able to get your login and password for the Japan account?

Erm, I already answered when to expect the demo. People just can't read.

 

[FrankT]

Yes, yes you did. Eh, that is like 2 in the morning CST. Must stay up...

 

[darkressurection]

Damn, burned through all the free gold trial on my machine.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Don't worry, I'm sure some of us will hook others up with sharing accounts.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I HOPE THAT'S NOT CHRIS' BLOOD!

 

[andycapps]

As soon as this goes up on PSN, the demo shall be mine.

 

[Wark]

I'll probably get it on both.

GT: WarkWarkWark
PSN: APark5

 

[Facism]

sounds like a great plan.

 

[chespace]

Dude, can't wait.

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

Put me down for the PSN list (ID: ayuniteuk).

 

[Skilotonn]

Topic had me thinking that the demo was already up - just woke up and saw this...

I also used up all of my free Gold trials so I'll be looking for any means necessary to get this...

Also hopefully someone puts it up for everyone to burn to a DVD fairly quickly as well...

 

[∀ Narayan]

Is it confirmed that we cant use 48 hour gold-trial codes on our silver jpn accounts to download the demo?

Aaaaah phooey!

They really won't work? I was counting on that.

Ah, well, anyone want to add me to their queue for a shared account? Would really appreciate it.

 

[ToyMachine228]

Is there any repercussions to signing up for a Japanese account from the US? Like it's not considered an exploit or something is it?

 

[MMaRsu]

Not at all .

[Chiaroscuro]

Should we include a countdown at the start post? :lol

 

[andymcc]

I created my Japanese 360 gold account... I hope this isn't region locked.

Yo can you share the love when the demo is up, andymcc? I swear I won't do anything... just need to queue the download and then I'll log off. Used my 5 gold trials already

Don´t sweat - it´ll be downloadable within minutes from release. Remeber the GH demo? Same.

Is this thread an appropriate place to ask how to create a Japanese Gamertag?

You mean in the U.S.? confused your post i am

 

[Hammer24]

You mean in the U.S.?

The GH demo was an OXM exclusive - and downloadable within minutes, and worked everywhere (DVD, CD, USB stick). I´m sure it´ll be the same here.

[Deleted member 22576]

Spoiler

please dont ban me, no one was hurt

 

[AmMortal]

When will this be up on torrents, and where?

So what you're saying is that when it drops, someone will upload it to the net and then we can just download it to our PC and then put it on a storage device like a USB flash drive and then put it in our 360 and it will play with no need for a modded console?
