inFamous demo arrives May 21

You're probably as anxious as we are to get your hands on inFamous at the end of this month. For those who are actually interested in the game itself -- as opposed to the accompanying Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta -- you don't have too long to wait before getting in some playtime, thanks to a demo that will be released on the PSN Store. The demo will be available to everyone on May 21, not long before the game's worldwide launch on May 26 in the US and May 29 in Europe.

Can't wait until then? Pre-ordering the game will get you early access to the demo next week, on May 7. Either way, you'll be able to check out Cole's powers for yourself before the game's fast approaching release.

Update: We've removed this post from the front page, as we reported the demo date in a prior update about the game's retail release.
