Enslaved demo on North American PSN Sept. 21, Xbox Live 'soon'
Our friends, acquaintances and mortal enemies living in Europe garnered our jealousy earlier this week, when a demo for Enslaved: Odyssey to the West dropped on their continental PlayStation Store. Fortunately, we can stop burning all of our Doctor Who memorabilia in symbolic protest -- according to Namco, the trial version of its action-platformer will arrive on the North American PSN on September 21.
Xbox 360 owners unfortunately have to settle for a launch window of "soon" for their version of the demo. But, hey, that could mean anything! It could be out within the next few minutes! It's just ... well, it's incredibly unlikely. We'll let you know when we get firmer release info.
