During a live interview today, Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford confirmed that a demo for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway is almost certain, although a PC demo is less likely to make it through.

"We are 100 per cent certain there will be a demo for 360, 99 per cent certain there will be a demo for PS3 and about 50 per cent certain there will be a demo for PC. I'm still not certain exactly when the best time to release the demo will be - there are two camps." said Randy Pitchford. "One camp believes we should continue to focus 100 per cent of our attention on the few remaining issues. For example, this morning there are 7 open issues that will be fixed before the end of the day before we submit the software for certification on one of our platforms. If the people working on those issues instead were working on a demo, the whole process would take a little longer."
