Good fortune for the folks across the Atlantic! While North America has to pre-order Killzone 2 just in order to get a demo before the actual game's release, Europe might actually get it for free on PSN.

Sony has confirmed that they will indeed release a K2 demo on the European PSN server, but they can't quite peg the actual schedule just yet. Another spokesperson reaffirmed this, telling Eurogamer that "if it clears QA in time, the demo will almost certainly be released in Europe before the game."

Meanwhile, for those in North America, if you don't want to pre-order Killzone 2 from GameStop (and bag their early demo code to boot), don't worry. The same demo will still be released in NA PSN servers, but only after launch.

It'll be like the MGO jobbie we had. That wasn't restricted like it was in other parts of the globe.

After Killzone 2 launches in North America the demo will go live on both NA Servers and EU servers. And it will still be before EU release because if I remember correctly EU's release date for Killzone 2 is not even confirmed yet and is going to be released after NA release. Don't know why companies just release it at the same time, we speak the same languages, it is going to be the same game, the only thing I can think of as a reason to not release it is that it needs to be PAL but that shouldn't be so hard should it?
