This week on the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Plus subscribers can find two exclusive demos to enjoy over the weekend – before anyone else. Plus subscribers can download the PES 2011 playable demo for the PS3 and PSP owners can download the God of War: Ghost of Sparta demo before general public release.
Gamers who purchase the PlayStation Move Starter Pack in September will receive a demo disc as part of the bundle. Sony has now detailed the playable games the demo disc will contain, which includes six Blu-ray based games and three PSN titles. The demo disc will also feature a brief tutorial video to show how to setup the Move controllers.
Sony has patented a game demo technology that would initially provide players with a full version of a game, but as time progresses, the game would start to degrade or deteriorate leaving players with the bare bones of the game. The full version could then be restored via an unlock code.
This week on the PlayStation Store, the Bayonetta Demo is now available to download from both the European and US Stores.

The Final Fantasy XIII Blu-Ray demo was released in Japan a few weeks ago, bundled with the the film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. Unfortunately, there are no plans for a release outside of Japan, the game’s producer Yoshinori Kitase has told VideoGamer.com. Kitase did suggest a downloadable demo, saying “We hear that the demo version normally means something that you can download in the West, so that is a possibility.”
Final Fantasy XIII is should arrive on PlayStation 3 in Japan later this year, with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions due in Europe and North America no earlier than April 2010.
The single player C&C Red Alert 3 demo is now available to download from the US PlayStation Store. The demo contains 2 campaign missions and a tutorial that will get you accustomed to playing RA3 on your PS3. The first campaign mission comes from the Soviet campaign; mission ?Krasna 45,? the second mission of the Soviet campaign. The other mission is ?Heidelberg,?the third mission in the Allied campaign. Both these missions feature co-op gameplay with an A.I. co-commander who will support you as well as follow your orders.
The game ships to stores next week in both the US and Europe so this is a good chance to see what the game is like. The full game will have 27 campaign missions, which can be played co-op with a buddy over the PlayStation Network. It will also feature skirmish and multiplayer modes.
