Europeans get their Rift on in limited MotorStorm demo

While those in the U.S. simply need to purchase Episode 4 of Qore to partake in some MotorStorm Pacific Rift goodness, Qore-less Europeans have been left in the cold thus far.

Thankfully, that's no longer the case, at least if Lady Luck is on your side. According to semi-official European PlayStation Blog ThreeSpeech, Sony will be randomly emailing demo vouchers to a few lucky European PlayStation Network members this Thursday, while the general populace will have to wait until next month to get a taste of Pacific Rift.

Does this limited demo strategy irritate you, or do you think it's a cool way to build up hype for a title? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.

    no that is retarted they should just let us play the game so we all say how good it is now how good it looks and they shouldnt be trying to make a quick buck off of people who have no patience

    If they make it available, the US can set up a UK account and still download it, so this is their way of selecting who gets it.

    I dont like it, and the only way I will like it is if I get one of these e-mails, Then it will be the best idea ever !!! To be honest though I would prefer a go on the Socom beta, But like they say beggers cant be choosers, so here's hopeing !!

    its a good idea but annoying for the people who wont get it. we always get shunned in australia, movie, music and video game wise.

    It's not a limited edition demo PSU,Sony said it will release the demo to the general public down the road,stop spreading these "rumors" like they are facts.

    Could the demo have online mode and they want to test it in a limited environment before releasing the demo to the general population?

    I suppose they have done it to make it fair since Europe doesn't have Qore so they are going to choose a select few so that Europe isn't left out. I like it, it may not seem fair but if they put it on the PSS for Europe there's no doubt Americans would download it using a European account. They have done this so Qore purchasers don't feel like they are getting ripped off completely if all Europe was allowed the demo and Americans had to buy it-ish.
