*UPDATED* MGS4 demo coming in February

Tired of waiting to finally get your hands on anything Metal Gear Solid 4? Well that time has finally been announced. No, it’s not the official release date of the title, but it is the expected month for the demo itself.
Expected in the month of February, PS3 owners will be given the opportunity to play through one magnificent level of MGS4. Hopefully, this will wet your taste buds and tide you guys over until the official release.
It is possible that this could be a video stage being played by Konami, much like the TGS video released earlier on the PSN. However, we're hoping it could possibly be a playable demo in the end.
An editor for PSW has since commented:
"At the time of writing the article a Konami rep told us a demo, the demo we played in our office for the magazine article, would be on the PSN Store. It's finished, we played it, so something should be appearing this month. It could all depend on the game's final on sale date, if it has moved to May then a demo could appear later, possibly February."

sweet, sounds awesome. though the developers denied earlier that they were going to do a demo, all they would have to do would be to release us an earlier demo like the tgs demo that theyve already made.

Yeah, they lost to the Giants and that sucks. At least the game was close. Anyway, if they release a demo for this game that's cool. However, NO demo will ever hold me over until the actual game comes out. I don't think there's been a demo I've ever played more than once. I just want the game!!!!!

Kojima Productions Team (Ryan Payton) said in an interview that they are too busy on the game to do a demo so there is none planned but regardless i hope what the magazine says is true.
But most probably it will end up being a video demo.

Odd considering Konami said there would be no MGS4 demo.

I really doubt we'll see a demo. Also, isn't the correct word for that context "whet"? As in, "whet your appetite"?

My guess this is part of the MGS4 news onslaught that Ryan was referring to .

There ain't gonna be a demo...bear in mind that magazines are sent to publishers a minimum of a month before they hit the streets...this probably was what people thought before Konami said there wouldn't be a demo...
Personally i would love one but i'll be buying the game one way or another so it's not a big deal.

There is a demo..... thats what these reviewer have been playing but normally those demo's are not released to the public. If it has been ok'ed then it makes senese that this demo would hit. Other than that it really doesn't seem like the dev team is taking away from their time on the full product to work on a demo.

Thank you, Hideo. You have made my month! DMC4, Turok, Dynasty Warriors 6, Condemned 2, & now the MGS4 Demo. Man, I wish I could take off the entire month of Feburary from work.

I hope it's true....but it hasn't been confirmed yet....no one knows if there really will be a demo...and strange considering they said there wouldn't be one in the beginning....even if it was the playable demo that has been available that would be cool too.....but not holding my breath.

Isn't there supposed to be a "?" in the title,because it isn't a confirmation from the devs that the DEMO will be released in February,it just says the 'stage played here'.Because the title could lead ppl to believe it is an announcement from Kojima/Konami,when it is clearly not.
Edit:Oh,thanks for the update,this is probably the best news all week.
