The Dead Rising: CASE ZERO Demo is Exclusive to Xbox 360

Xbox 360 owners' wait for Dead Rising 2 just got somewhat better with the announcement of an exclusive playable prologue (think a downloadable demo), Dead Rising: CASE ZERO, launching on Xbox Live prior to the game's release on August 31, 2010. Dead Rising 2 may not be the console exclusive the first game was, but it will at the very least have content exclusive to the platform that launched the series. Capcom also released some awesome HD footage of Dead Rising 2 at last week's X10 expo in San Francisco, we have embedded it below for your viewing pleasure.

About: Dead Rising: Case Zero is a playable prologue mission that will be available before Dead Rising 2 hits store shelves on August 31st in North America, September 2nd in Japan, and September 3rd in Europe. The prologue bridges the gap between Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2, and should give players interesting insight as to how we got from here to there.
