You have to access the site using chrome?

Nope. But it's easier to solve the puzzle using Chrome.

I wish the limited Edition for North America was available for pre order now!!!

I posted on the RPGfan fb page that this is starting to be more exciting for me than skyrim.

Skyrim will be amazing but this represents something new for me since I have a 360 and missed out on the first game.

And a limited edition for the same price as a new game? Total RPG hardon

It really sucks that Dark Souls is releasing around the same time as Skyrim.  I really don't see Dark Souls selling that many copies on the 360 versus the PS3 but then again, I know alot of people that wanted Demon's Souls on the console so maybe it could sell well, I hope it sells well on the 360.  When Dark Souls is released, will the servers still be active for Demon's Souls? I don't see a reason why they would take them down.

There's also people who prefer getting games on the 360 for whatever. Generally better performance/visuals (though I doubt this will be one of those cases), better online, and even trivial stuff like prefering achievements over trophies. That, and a lot of people are probably angry enough over the PSN fiasco that they'll avoid the PS3 version out of principle. Still, I suspect sales will favor the PS3 version because of all the Demon's Souls fans established there and people like me who are pretty sure the PS3 will have the edge, especially with it being PS3 exclusive in Japan much like FFXIII initially was.

Are 360 players going to have full open chat?

Went back to Demons Souls recently. Never got too far in it for some reason. Dying all over the place but also enjoying the game quite a bit despite this, I'm currently merrily grinding the red faced knight on world 1-1. Dark Souls is going on my must buy list for sure.

"Dying all over the place"

Yep, that tends to happen in Demon's Souls often,lol :)

Even if the game does not exactly support it, it's not too hard to set up chat groups on a 360 with people on your friends list. I use that much more often than game chat. It cuts down on the dumbassery.

I don't hear anyone talking unless they're on my Friend List.  There's an option in your account settings to mute everyone apart from friends - it's the best thing I have done on my Xbox 360 so far.

Playing Call of Duty: Black Ops online and not hearing 14 year old children screaming in my ear when I happen to kill them is bliss.

God yes. I don't always mute other players in case I DON'T get annoying 12 year olds, but everytime I get on Black Ops I'm reminded that I should.

From will be holding a Dark Souls demo event whose name may or may not translate to "Dark Souls Special Event: Offer Your Humanity -- Survival Rate 0/20000." One hundred gamers will be able to attend the event, which will be held in Ginza on June 11.

To get your name on the list for consideration, visit the event official site.

Is nice to see box arts like this one, clean and it gets to the point. It looks fancy in your collection too.

I don't know why, but I suddenly have the urge to dig up my copy of Kings Field.
