Rainbow Six Vegas demo

On Live Marketplace now.

Ubisoft has uploaded a demo of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas to Xbox Live Marketplace.

There's no word on quite what's in the demo, but we do know that it's 477MB, and, interestingly, it's not available in the US, Canada or Mexico.

Apparently that's because of an exclusive coverdisk deal organised with the American version of Official Xbox Magazine, so those of you over there will have to wait for that to get a taste.

The full game's due out on 24th November, with PC and PSP versions following in December, and a PlayStation 3 version due out alongside the Sony console next March.
