How to Download the Resident Evil 5 Demo Right Now
by Eric Bush
It's a great day to be a gamer! The long-awaited Resident Evil 5 demo has finally gone live across the ocean onto the Japanese Xbox LIVE Marketplace; thankfully PlanetXbox360 found directions to help all of our readers (no matter where you live) get in there and download it. We are not sure whether this is legal or not but for now just proceed with caution (although I have played the demo at E3 and it is freaking amazing):
We have learned from multiple sources that this does in fact work as of right now and that the demo (425 MB) includes two different levels (both seen previously) and gamers can play by themselves or with another person in co-op mode (both online and offline).
Quick Guide to Getting Japanese 360 Gold:
Go here: http://www.passport.net/
Sign up a new account, Click "No, sign me up for a free MSN Hotmail e-mail address"
Pick JAPAN for your country, pick Tokyo-to as your Prefecture 150-2345 for your zipcode
Keep going, and then have it set you up with a @hotmail.com address.
Go to your 360, and create a new profile. Log in using your hotmail address on your 360, and it should set it to Japan.
If this is less than your 4th trial account you get gold free, so select yes when it asks you. (the RE5 demo requires Gold standing)
How to actually download the demo via Japanese Xbox LIVE Marketplace:
Login to your Japanese Gold account
Once logged in press the xbox button in the middle of your controller to bring up the "old" dashboard
Navigate to the market place tab, then go to Game Marketplace
From Game Market place navigate all the way down to ALL GAMES
Then from ALL GAMES. Then go to "ALL" (instead of trying to understand japanese alphabet). Then just scroll through all the games until you get to BioHazzard 5 (it should be 270 of 40
Once you get to BioHazard 5, the first screen should say "Get Demo" and voila you are downloading the demo. Should be like 472 MBs.

I thought I'd share just how sad I am whilst the demo downloads...
I actually imported a Japanese Dreamcast and a copy of Resident Evil Code Veronica straight after it's release. Played through the entire game in Japanese and later read a translation of all the main texts.
I think it's a shame that with RE 4 the series lost it's 'Resident Evilness' it's become a different game, but a good one nonetheless.

king wait!Hmm...after some coop play with a mate over LIVE, this has turned into a game of frustration more than enjoyment.
There are so many things which made us moan and groan, so many little things that make it annoying to play.
We just just quit in the end and agreed we wouldn't be playing it again unless they change in the final version.
The controls are ok, but they have hurdles put in front of them.You don't get enough ammo to have fun, you can't move and shoot, it takes 3 weeks to swap guns or heal which is pants when you are being attacked all the time from every single angle, etc etc etc.Such a shame.
