What to heck is this trend of making demos a premium or a gift under certain groups or contracts. It used to irritate me a little when I went on PSN and saw I needed Plus to get some demo of a game I was somewhat interested in, but the real hammer hit me when I went to purchase Duke Nukem from GameStop and was given first access to the demo for reserving the product that I was buying.

To all game makers and publishers. What to heck are you thinking??! Really, I am a customer interested in your game and I don't know if I want to buy it yet, so you made a demo so I can say "WOW, yes gat me some of that!" but wait you need to subscribe to this or that. So I say "I will wait till I can see it another way." Meanwhile I find something else to add to my 7 - 10 unplayed games in the queue. However, if I have a game I really want I can go buy it and get priority access to the demo. Are you hoping I may hate the demo and cancel the preorder? Because if I wasn't all that interested and wanted to try out the game, I can't. But if I preorder the game I can try it and maybe cancel when I am already on the hook.

Maybe these should no longer be called demos but exclusive previews. And if that is the case, can we get some demos of these games so I can see if I am truly interested in them? Otherwise you, the publisher, are losing my interest and possibly the sale.

What the whole thing comes down to is future proofing. The space is not needed now but there are developers looking at the PS3 Blu Ray and wanting to test the limits of what space can provide them. Can MS afford to move toward HDDVD gaming is the the question. I think so. FF XI required a hard drive purchase for the PS2 and it sold. But MS did not position well by half way embracing the HD format and now it will bite those of us with first gen media limitations. I would like to see gaming get that much depth as to need more than a DVD and it will happen.

I would say if you can find it get the 60GB. It has all the bells and whistles,hardware compatiblity instead of emulation, memory slotsand when the drive space becomes an issue you can easily get 160GB hard drive for a hundred bucks and trump even the 80gb model in it's key selling point.

The behind the scenes does have a fun history of Final Fantasy from 1 to 13 and some of the spinoffs.
