(Xbox 360 only here, obviously)

Or... you could simply make a Japanese account, the demo is available on the Japanese marketplace with only a silver membership.

...or you could download the demo from the pirate bay or other such torrent sites, burn it to disc and pop that in your 360.

In either case the demo will be completely in english and fully playable.

I prefer to stay away from torrent sites, but if the Japanese account trick gives access to an English demo that could be interesting. Thanks for the tip David.

I probably prefer the Japanese account trick just because having the demo on the HDD is easier than having to pop a disc in to play it.

But for those days when it was gold account only in Japan having the disc was nice.
