PES 2008 demo on XBLM, too good for US and Canada

by Dustin Burg { Sep 21st 2007 at 9:30AM }

Some of you have been anticipating the release of this demo onto the Marketplace for a while now and we're happy to say that your wait is over. Ready for download this very moment off of the Xbox Live Marketplace is a hefty 1.18GB demo of Konami's Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2008. And to our European fanboys, do you remember all the times you've complained about the US getting exclusive XBLM content that wasn't available to you? Well, this is one of those times you get content the US doesn't, because the Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 demo is not available to Asia or North America Xbox Live members. You lucky devils.

That sucks!!!
Just because everyone else seens to know the real meaning of "football".

Yep....it's Pro Evo for me this time around....this demo is much better than the last game, and the FIFA demo.

xenocidic: No, you couldn't. The system works by IP or some other stuff, not by your gamertag. The only way that could work is getting your Xbox to Europe and downloading the demo there.
Same problem for me, can't get the DLC for Crackdown as it's not available her in germany.

Dude looks like he's .5 seconds away from getting his neck snapped.

@simon ... hrm, when I wanted the Viva Pinata demo (back when it was only on the US marketplace), I just created a US acct and was able to DL it.

I'll have to test it on this when I get home and will report on my findings.

How is that a 'gay' screenshot? The difference in Europe getting releases later than the US is that we crave shooters, rpgs, platform titles etc as much as we crave Pro Evo! You do not crave Pro Evo as much as the other titles.

no EPL=do not care

i just like FIFA more. IDK why. maybe its being able to play as all my favorite MLS and EPL teams. Or maybe I just like EA Sports take on teh futbol.

that said, i would had liked to play this.

[proud American football fan that wanted this just as much as Juiced 2]
