PSN trial downloads

[JoPh]

do they now have trial versions of the psn games? ie the new street fighter....
i keep looking but the only demos are of the ps3 games not the psn games.


does playstation not offer this? its a great feature on xbl

Why would they have demos of those? They're ancient.

I'll ignore the first reply, because it confuses me.

JoPh, the PSN doesn't always have demos for their downloadable games, as it's not a requirement like it is on the Live Arcade. There are a few that do have demos, but they are few and far between. Ones that have demos that I know of off the top of my head are Pixel Junk Eden and Echochrome.

that sucks. i wanted to d/l a trial of the sf high def and compare the two system. that missing feature sucks for the users. trials have helped me make purchases.

No demo sucks, but you are able to share PSN games with up to 5 of your buddies. Thus $15 game becomes a $3 game.

I guess I misread. For me, PSN = Playstation, not Playstation Network. Anyways, if it's Playstation Network games you're talking about, they usually have them. Sometimes at the same time as the game's introduction, sometimes after.

Well, it is true to a degree. I've shared games with a couple of people and thus have games I didn't pay a single penny for.

[edit] Haha... nevermind, I looked back at the previous discussion and found that you are against it because you think devs are getting cheated by the sharing. That's fine... but I'll make use of the feature since Sony offered it.

I haven't shared a single game myself, but it is an option.

Why are you so sensitive about it? It's an option disclosed by Sony.

so they should still have trial versions.
