Shack PSA: Resident Evil 5 Demo Hits Xbox 360

by Chris Faylor, Jan 26, 2009 7:35am PST

As it's been nearly two weeks since Capcom announced a January 26 release for the Resident Evil 5 demo for North America, now is probably good time to remind you that Xbox Live Gold subscribers can today download and play the Xbox 360 demo.

Packing two stages along with both offline and online cooperative multiplayer, the Xbox Live Marketplace download weighs in at 473 MB. PlayStation 3 owners will be able to snag the zombie-shooting demo next week from the online PlayStation Store.

The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Resident Evil 5 will hit North American and European retailers on March 13, with the Japanese version arriving on March 5.
