TRU is giving a $20 gift card when you buy RE5 there. Damn good deal, I might have to bite and get it
My response to this is very simple: they could just add more enemies, or have them hit you from multiple angles. I don't think anyone's interested in it becoming a Gears of War clone, but the mechanics have clearly aged enough that some people are getting tired of them.
People are going to try to price match the TRU price, and sometimes best buy will match giftcards and just take it off the price (making it $40). It's YMMV though and not every place will offer that.

I haven't played the demo yet, but the IGN review confused me. They go on and on about how its a departure from survival horror, its more action based now, etc....isn't that what RE4 was? Did the reviewer just never play RE4, or is it even a big departure from that?

Aaaaahh, that I hadn't thought of. Sounds less than likely to work though, I might give it a whirl. Problem is finding an ad that shows the TRU offer, do they just call to verify?
I checked back at Metacritic, it's back to 87 overall although I noticed that all of the "big" names that have reviewed it seem to give it 90 or better (minus EuroGamer, but I dunno if that's big) while the smaller ones go back and forth.
Play the demo yourself to see what you think of it. Most major gaming sites and magazines are paid by the companies to give favorable reviews to their products. See: GameSpot, Kane and Lynch review.
The demo has been up since late January/early February...don't trust some paid schill about whether to purchase a game or not; try it for yourself!

If it's anything like Street Fighter 4, the install on the PS3 will make it load just as fast as the 360 version from the disc.
I wonder how much faster the 360 version will be if you install it to the HDD...most games have shown little to no benefit in speed, though the benefit of not having the jet engine DVD drive spinning is good enough for some.

an installed sf4 loads noticeably faster on PS3 than xbox360.
Okay...but I don't really see how, since between fights, the announcer says his spiel, then it jumps immediately to the fight.
So RE5 is coming out this Friday? That is unusual...a Friday release. Usually games come out on a Tuesday.
But hey! It's Friday the 13th! Maybe it's a marketing ploy? Maybe Jason is a secret boss in the game?! :Q

the load time where it shows X vs Y hangs like 3-4 seconds longer on Xbox360 than it does on PS3.
on the other hand, if you DONT have it installed on PS3, OR you do but the person you are facing online doesn't, it takes like 3-4 seconds LONGER on ps3 than Xbox360 to load.
