WARNING: Playing Demon's Souls TOO Early Will Blows UP Teh Internets! WARNING!!!

Oh Noes!!!! Actually, dear readers (and this IS the truth this time), Atlus is letting you know that the Demon's Souls US servers won't be active until the game's 10/6/09 release date.

Now, SOME of you LUCKY pre-order-ers out there may receive your standard or collector's edition before this date and should you try to jump online, you'll simply get, according to the press release Atlus sent out this evening,

"...an immediate PSN error and have to start playing offline."

Ulp (that big-ass font IS scary, huh?). Cue Demon's Soul's doomy-sounding atonal main theme played loudly enough to creep the cat right under the sofa. Poor Kitty...

In other words, be good and listen to the soundtrack (which is an awesome aural expereince), read the hint book if you must and ogle the lovely art book as you sit in front of your lonely PS3. Of course, you can always just play the offline game for a bit until that clock strikes "Server's UP!"

Anyway, be patient and really, really, really enjoy the game, as it's spec-tac-u-lar, period.
