Resident Evil 5 Demo (Japan only for now)

[Badonkadonk]

Anyone else make a Japanese Xbox LIVE account just so they could download the Resident Evil 5 demo today? It's intense as hell and completely worth the time it takes to get it under false pretenses. It's the best looking game I've played all year (and I've been playing WipEout HD, MGS4) and every bit as chaotic as RE4 was, even more so by the fact that you can set your weapons to directions on the D-pad so there's no break from the action. The one huge problem I'm having with it is that they swapped the buttons for shooting and running even when you're using the RE4-style controls like I do. It's messed me up a lot since I've played a crapton of RE4.

as of right now it's only available to jpn 360 gold members. seeing as my vast collection of American trial codes don't work got japan's live, I'll just wait for it, I'm not a huge enough RE fan that it's worth paying for the demo.

So... how do I download this?

Is this only for XBL as of now?

I'm actually interested in playing this. I loved RE4 but so far, everything I've seen about 5 has upset me. Should be interested in seeing how this works out when I actually play it.

Apparently it works if you download it with your computer and burn it to a DVD, even if your 360 isn't modded, but I didn't pay attention to the details.

I'm downloading it. It'll give me something cool to play after Christmas.

I just found an article that explains how to start a Japanese LIVE account and download the demo, and let me tell you it is very worth the effort:

I do feel the first level ends pretty quickly...

It's replayable, though. I've repeated it a few times and done it a little differently each time.
