Biohazard 5 Playable Demo (360)

December 6th, 2008 Posted by Alex Beech

Its the TGS demo with some extra control options (click image to see the TGS preview).

Recently I have been bitching about Xbox Live in Japan. Indeed the one thing I missed out of my Street Fighter review was that it isn’t out here and I had to use my UK account to get it.

Capcom may get an ‘F’ for their Arcade support but they just got an ‘A+’ for demos. I turned it on my 360 today to be greeted by Biohazard 5 on the Spotlight page. Selecting it took me to a download for the playable demo. Just to make sure I logged onto my UK account – it was no where to be seen.

Want a go? There is a chance. Try setting your 360’s region to Japan (and/or creating a Japanese MSN account), and creating a new profile. This should give you access to Japanese downloads and a month of gold membership. It may not work, but it’s worth a try.

UPDATE – so it is out in America and Japan but I guess not Europe… Any one else miss out?
