I just got my copy from newegg and no god of war 3 demo code was in it. Now I am reading that it was for a very limited time and my copy seems to be the newer ones with no code.

PISSED OFF.

Now I am preordering god of war 3 on amazon to get the code and see if I can cancel the order after.

=(

Finished GoW 2... amazing game. It improved almost everything from the first game. (Thankfully no R2 smashing this time around; even with realtriggers, it was a pain in the ass) I can't wait for God of War 3 now. Kratos has become one of my favorite characters of all time.

Hopefully I can find Chains of Olympus cheap. =P

The code is on a scratch off paper inside the case. Sorry to tell you that.

Finally got mine in the mail today and played a couple hours.

I'm happy to report no issues whatsoever on my 60GB PS3. The graphics show their age a bit on a 50 inch plasma, but no problems to report. I am missing the R2 button from the PS2 though.

All in all, a no-brainer of a purchase. :up:

Funny, I still have my unscratched demo code downstairs since I got one from my GoW 3 preorder. I am trying to figure out what to do with it or some creative way to give it away to someone.

BBEANLPHIE would be grateful for it I bet.

He said he was preordering the Gow3 CE so he may already have one. I'm not giving it to him if he already has one.

I guess we'll see if he gets one. But I doubt he will be able to cancel the pre-order if he gets the code.

I am actually going to cancel my preorder as I was reading that they may not let me cancel once I get the demo code. It takes 10 days for them to email me the code supposedly and I preordered GOW 3 last night.

I would be def grateful if you were able to pass me the code somehow.

On another note my 360 red ringed for the 3rd time in 2 years and I sent it back on last wednesday with a note inside directed to the manager of the tech that will be repairing my xbox.

Don't worry. Amazon will allow you to cancel. Even if you get the demo code.

I must say, I'd forgotten how annoying the "keep hitting O" mechanic is. I have a surgically repaired right thumb and I just can't hit it fast enough for their liking. This is why I bought a controller with Turbo the first time through. Don't know what to do now. Just started, but I can't kill the Hydra if I can't tap fast enough. Otherwise, the game looks GREAT for a PS2 game.

Any suggestions on how to tap fast enough? I tried using my index finger of the other hand (my dominant one), but that didn't work either.

hold the controller and tap the button with a finger from each hand...alternating as fast as you can. Not sure if that makes sense but give it a try....

Agree that it's not the best mechanic...but the good news is that when you're doing it, you're never doing anything else. So I recommend just using your index finger.

I use mine and just make my hand shake rather than trying to "push" the button...if that makes sense.

Actually, it wasn't a scratch-off, it was a sticker on top of the code that was so difficult to remove that I ended up ripping up the insert trying to remove it, making it unreadable, so I just threw it out. Why must they make such things so difficult?

Mine was a sticker as well but it had that grey scratch off crap on it and that is what I did to get the code.

No, it was certainly a sticker, as I peeled off about half of it and was able to read the first part of the code.
