Sony’s Chris Hinojosa-Miranda sends word that pre-ordering upcoming PSP title Patapon at GameStop will net you a free demo. But this isn’t an ordinary demo. The demo includes an exclusive weapon called the The Spear of Protection. Upon completion of the demo, players will be able to transfer the weapon to to their retail copy via save data.

Chris notes that GameStop hasn’t received the demo discs just yet, but they are expected to arrive within a week or two.
