Dead Rising 2 date, 360 gets prologue

Capcom has said at X10 that Dead Rising 2 will be released in Europe on 3rd September, presumably for PS3 and Xbox 360 despite the Microsoft venue for the announcement.

However, Xbox 360 owners will get an "exclusive taste of the action" thanks to Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, a downloadable prologue that links the first game to the sequel, which sounds a lot like a fancy demo to us and is due out in August.

It will be "standalone and entirely consist of unique content that will not be in Dead Rising 2", according to the publisher.
