I'm downloading the demo right now, will report back later with my first impressions. If you are a PS3 owner, and you don't have a Hong Kong account, you should set one up. It's really easy. Just choose a fake name and address in Hong Kong, etc, etc. It doesn't take that long. I had the Ridge Racer 7 demo almost a month before the US store got it. It might be the same thing with Hot Shots.
