Get your Jack Sparrow on. - Image 1 


Any self-respecting pirate understands the lure for free loot, and who's to say we can't have our free goodies, right? Well, unless an update from Major Nelson is incoming, you might say that Microsoft is keeping us from grabbing the gold.

The gold in this case is the newly-released demo for Pirates of the Caribbean: at World's End. In it, players can expect to go through the introductory level of the game, most probably as Captain Jack Sparrow.

The problem, however, is that you'll need a European account to access all of the goodies. The Demo details mention that the demo itself is "Not available in Asia, Canada, Mexico or the U.S.," which leaves Australia and Europe as the few places where you can download the demo. Not a problem if you know how to make a secondary or tertiary account, of course, but if you don't, then you're quite of luck.

On the other hand, there is one other place to grab the demo from. Antarctica, which presumably is also World's End. How apt.

I thought the demo was very good and I'll probably pick up this game.
