Problems downloading Killzone 2 demo off the PS3 Store?

The Killzone 2 demo was released yesterday onto the EU Playstation Store much to everyone’s delight. While those who downloaded it straight away had no problems, some people had problems downloading it due to high server traffic.

For once it was a pleasant surprise that EU owners would get access to the demo ahead of the US store. While this wasnt a problem for those with multiple region accounts, this then meant that American owners who had their special pre-order deal with Gamestop came to the EU store in numbers, causing slow download speeds for EU users.

Did you have any problems in downloading the Killzone 2 demo off the store yesterday? Let us know how you got on with the demo!

    Problems????

    I started my download @ 4:36pm uk time and had no issues downloading it? It did take 2 + 1/2hrs to download, but I presume that is due to the size of the file.

    Now I have played the demo, I am really…really looking forward to the games release on Feb 27th!!!

    Downloaded the demo no problem. Pretty short, but looks amazing.

    For some reason it took a while. Normally I have let it download and install and turn of the ps3. But when I did that the download slowed down to a crawl. I had to go the downloads section in order for it to go at a good speed.

    The Demo is very short. Leaves you wanting more.

  4. Download was quick & easy

    Took 5 painfully slow hours to download on my 2 meg Tiscali connection, but was worth the wait. Game looks awesome and plays like a dream. Can’t wait to get my hands on the full game.

    mehhh it took me about 3 hours to get it and I was playing Bioshock so I presume I got a slower DL speed then the average user.

    I have a problem. I got it, and it downloaded perfectly. Then when I try to play, it says installing. I waited for it to install (many times) and it gave me this message “An error occured during the install operation (80029564)”
    What happened? Can I still get it? Please help.
