While browsing the PSN network website at http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Store#tab=gamedemos&p=9  I noticed they have a lot more demos available which are not in the UK store. I quite fancy trying a few of these out, mainly Turok, NHL, Tom Clancy, Darkness, Nascar, F1 (actually almost all of them hehe). Does anyone have any way to access these demos??

Create a new user. One for each different PS Network.

Japan / U.S. / Asia (Hong Kong)

Create master accounts and don't bother entering billing information. You may need to search for a guide to create a Japanese account (unless you can read the language).

Just create another user on your PS3 then create a new psn account for that user, the 1st section asks what region you want. You will need an American address, I used one out of an American drag race mag randomly. Even though its an American account you will be able to play the demos on your normal profile.

Cheers for that, just downloaded the NHL demo and a rather snazzy COD4 theme. The games also seem to be cheaper on there as well.

The games are cheaper but you'll need an American credit card, registered to a valid American address...

If you did want to buy off the US store you can set up an account at www.entropay.com

Not used it myself but was recommended by a friend for when they get GT5 prologue.

I'm so glad I can download demos, I would be gutted to waste £45 on some of the completely incompetent drivel that is being released. Do the people who make the games not play to see if they are actually any fun or playable!
