What the fuck, you dipshits. What's wrong with you? Fucking idiots. Go region-lock your dicks why don't you. It's clear you're not getting any at home so you fuck us instead.

Motherfucker.

Get fucked Konami. Who the hell do you think you are? Nintendo?
 
Gonna log into my JPSN account later and see if this is true for the demo that I got from the ZOE HD Edition Premium Package. Will report back with results, though why I expect things to be different...

This never makes any sense to me, ever. I understand how some FULL GAMES don't make it over here because of licensing or whatever the case, but a GAME DEMO for a game that's already slated for the States anyway? You region lock that? Why?

shhh Graham I'm still compiling this Radiant map
Was just about to boot up my PS3 too. Well, then.

This is stupid as hell, but given that it's Konami, I'm not even surprised.

Region locked!? Aw hell naw. I'd like to slap the person responsible for this decision across the face with that giant-purple-dildo from Saint's Row 3.

I'm not going to buy some HD pack of a niche game that nobody played (but everyone praises) and that I have no interest in, just to play a Metal Gear solid spin-off. I mean this game looks cool, but not that cool.

So how long before Konami retreats and says it was a mistake?

my friend, who lives in the US, has a JP PS3 and is downloading the demo right now. We'll see if that makes any difference.

Thank god SSX supplied this information before I downloaded three-friggin-gigs. I think I would've gone insane from the rage. :p

Is it possible to eliminate region locking in a hacked PS3? I don't have a hacked ps3 but I wonder.

oh wow, and I was about turn my PS3 on too. Is this the first time we've gotten a Region Locked demo? I don't recall ever dealing with Region lock at all with ps3.

It comes with a shitgame and an inferior version of a game I already own. I have some self-respect. :p

Anyone remember the Uncharted demo fiasco? Maybe they'll fix the situation in a similar fashion if we complained and whined enough.

Well this really sucks... but I was planning to buy ZoE HD soon so whatever, region locking demos is the next step in restrictions I believe.
