You know I was trying Hasbro's Connect 4 and it only let me play for less than 10 secs, I was like "Conn.ect.. fo..!" then back to the start screen, what a tease, so I didn't end up buying it even it was half price at 400 pt. But yeah, Numblast (both PSP/PS3) 's demo was voided if you don't play it 3 days after your d/l, so they expired before I could even try them.

They were so cheap w/ Numblast (Qruton) the puzzle game on PSN, I think it had a time limit of 3 days after you d/l'ed it. I didn't read the fine print and left it by the side, and it wasn't working anymore when I tried, thought it was so stupid.. perhaps on my part. Guess trials w/ limited time is still better than none at all.

If you play 10 mins of it and like it, you click and buy it, you don't like it you lose nothing (I tried TMNT Re-shelled and decided to totally not get it). Otherwise it really makes you think twice and go dig out reviews to find out whether this game is actually for you or not. PSN does this too, but they always roll out the trials a lot later, like Bionic Commando Rearmed. Nintendo definitely has lots to improve w/ their online service, Wiiware, etc. It would be nice if they let us try out VC, not just Wiiware too, since sometimes I forget if an old game is actually still fun (it might be fun back then but not in 2009). Case in point, River City Ransom, a blast when I was in grade school, not fun now.. so I regret spending that $5. Or maybe I was thinking of other Kunio games.. <br><br>I know good demos have made me go "I need to get this game on day 1".
