OXM Says Prey Demo on Sunday, July 2nd
Microsoft has dropped the announcement that the rescheduled Prey demo will be arriving on Xbox Live Marketplace this Sunday, 2nd July.
The demo, which was supposed to available for download nearly a fortnight ago, was delayed due to being still “in testing” at Microsoft, according to 3DR President George Broussard. But he believed the delay “could be as long as a few days.â€
A few days has turned into a two week patience-stretcher for Xbox 360 gamers eager to play the Sci-Fi FPS, which follows Native American Mechanic Tommy in a search and rescue attempt aboard an Alien Spaceship after he and his loved ones are abducted from their Reservation. It’s understood that the demo will be released on Marketplace along with a Dashboard Theme and Gamer Picture pack, though prices for both of these are still to be announced.
Sadly, I would not actually count on a Sunday release day at this point.
UPDATE: Major Nelson’s response to this story is this:
Let me say this: When was the last time we released content on a Sunday? Also, I have not seen any announcement that a MS official has made about the demo coming out on Sunday. Trust me…I asked *everyone* in PR.
