Mafia II Demo is a 24-Hour Exclusive for PlayStation Plus Subs

PlayStation Plus subscribers can get their sticky mitts all over the Mafia II demo a whole day early from tomorrow morning when the demo will be automatically pushed through the PlayStation Network pipes if you've Automatic Downloads enabled. Or you can simply go onto the Plus bit of the PS Store and snap it up from there.

The rest of the non-paying world will be able to get it from the PlayStation Store with Wedesday's update as usual, bada bing and all that. There are however, no deets on the US demo, so assume it'll come to the PS Store on Tuesday as normal.

Mafia II is out with a PS3-exclusive 'The Betrayal of Jimmy' DLC in the box on August 27th, 2010 in Europe and August 24th, 2010 in the US.

  • Glad that I didn't buy PS+. I can wait 24 hours without having to pay the fee. There still hasn't been anything on there that I would find worth my money.
  • I did buy PS+, so does that mean that the demo is out for me now?
  • Yay.
  • psn+ sucks so bad they should of just charged everyone £10.00 a year subsciption and then cut everything on the psn store to half price , they would have made more money that way
  • WOOOOO LOL Cant wait
  • Cool thing. I'm already looking forward to the final game but haven't yet preorederd it. I wanted to wait for some reviews and stuff... but a demo is even better...
  • will get demo defo gtin the game i dunno bout psn plus may get it i certinly think its worth it
  • #4 that makes a lot of sense,why not make everything free,luv psn+.,its about supporting a free since release network....demo should be good...
  • Great, I'll be playing that tonight, thanks Sony.
  • @1 Yeah I thought the same, you get Mafia 2's demo before anyone else if you get PS+ but it's only for a day and to add insult to injury, everyone else gets it on wednesday, the day the story is suppose to update. WHO CARES?! I'll just wait for the store update.
  • I struggle to understand why Sony even bothered to make this seem like a perk of PS+. 24 hours? UK games usually have to wait a few days longer for new releases *anyway*. A week would have been more appropriate given what subscribers are paying for the service. I'm just happy there's a demo for this game. Really looking forward to the 24th!
  • what exactly do you get from ps+?
  • I got PS+ and was excited about playing the Kane and Lynch 2 demo, till I tried the multiplayer, and found it next to impossible to find anyone to play it the first day with since only other + members had it, only those interested in it anyways. When it was finally out for everyone I had no issues finding a game...not enough people have plus, and considering that PS+ just got cut back to only updating biweekly now, I bet even less people will end up getting it.
  • Fail! I'll wait for the infinite demo to come out soon. Makes me glad I didn't get Plus. It's mostly crappy deals. 24 hours? Shouldn't they not only get a chance to play early, but have it as long as they have the sub?
  • I have PlayStation Plus but 24hrs? that's seem like a pathetic effort, should be a week. Considering it's only $50 for 15mths I really don't see the problem, unless your like struggling to put food on the table, seriously $50 is nothing for a year.
  • yay an early demo thats already free that was worth my 50 dollars
  • OMG! 24 HOURS! IT'S SOOO LONG!
  • @14 make that EPIC FAIL
  • I KNOW! I WANNA PS PLUS NOW!
