Game Demo's missing from PSN?

Hi guys...

I wanted to ask whether Sony take Demo's down after some time from PSN? I have tried to download some demo's today which i knew were on PSN a few months back before (for example the Dragonballz game) but i can't find them?

Is there any other way of getting demos that are not on PSN?

Thanks

Re: Game Demo's missing from PSN?

Thanks for the reply.

Do i have to go here and sign in to access the online store? https://secure.eu.playstation.com/sign-in/

I tried to sign with the same details as my PSN account but it comes up with "sign up failed. Please check you E-mail and Password", and i know my sign in details are fine.




Actually hasn't the PSN PC store close down?

Re: Game Demo's missing from PSN?

so where have these demo's gone and why have they gone?

Edit: If anyone has any spare time can you please check PSN for the Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limt and Dark Sector Demo please? I just want to make sure it is not just my PSN or something not showing the demos. Thanks!

Re: Game Demo's missing from PSN?

I think what happens is that if you have previously downloaded demos then they often appear to have disappeared from the store

If this is the case, then have a look through your download list on the store (it provides a full list of everything you've ever downloaded and you'll be able to redownload them from there!)

Re: Game Demo's missing from PSN?

I tried that but i cannot find them under there. However i am pretty sure i downloaded the dark sector demo once (and deleted it due to not enough HD space)..But it's not showing under my downloaded list

Re: Game Demo's missing from PSN?

Didn't they change the store URL a while back to:

http://www.uk.playstation.com/PS3/Store

or

PlayStationŽStore

Re: Game Demo's missing from PSN?

The same thing is happening to me. There are lots of demos that should be there, but aren't.
I think it's something to do with the fact that I have a sub-account, not a full account. My brother has a sub-account and he has the same problem.
My dad has the master account, and he has all the content in the Playstation Store.

Re: Game Demo's missing from PSN?

This is more of a suggestion rather than an answer to your question but the blu-ray disc that comes with the Official Playstation Magazine usually has most of the old demos on it that were on the PS3 store. Worth having a look anyway

Re: Game Demo's missing from PSN?

Thanks..i will check that out!

But if someone could double check for the DBZ or Dark sector demo that would be great!
