Vampire Rain demo available in Canada & Mexico, not U.S.

The Vampire Rain demo was first released in Japan on Tuesday, and we suspected that it would become available in North America shortly thereafter. Well, we were right and today it is, but unfortunately for some (or rather, most), it's only available in two thirds of this continent. While being available in Mexico and Canada, as well as portions of Europe, Asia, and Australia, the demo is not on Marketplace in the US. Quite frankly this is quite odd, and we hope the rest of you get your hands on it sooner rather than later. We guess we can get you "exclusive" hands on impressions later today, if we aren't too busy.

I'm in the US (Indiana, specifically) and I just got a Japanese account for the Trusty Bell demo. Anyway, if you download the Vampire Rain demo on the Jap account through your Am system you will get the English game. I have yet to play it, but I freaked when I saw that the menu and dialog were in English.

I feel its just being even steven, considering we get first dibs on every demo for the majority of the time.
Having said that, it is still available for us to download demos with alternate accounts (ie. demo I just downloaded with my japanese account: eternal sonata)

TERRIBLE GAME! I figured it would be bad, but it's just awful. It tries to be like Splinter Cell, but it fails in every way. You can't peak around walls, you can't shoot out lights...it looks like ass, it isn't fun. It doesn't make sense! I suggest that no one downloads it. You American's are lucky!
