So much for GameStop’s exclusive demo. Sony has confirmed that Europe will receive the same exact demo, and it will be made available freely on the PlayStation Store come February 21.

The full retail game will hit Europe the next day, February 22, while the US will have to wait till February 26.

But hey, we shouldn’t complain. European gamers usually have to wait weeks, or even months to get their hands on most new video game titles after they’ve already been released in the US and Japan. Patapon is a rare exception — and they definitely deserve bonuses like this.
