NBA 2K8 demo on Live

2K Sports has whizzed a demo for NBA 2K8 up onto Live Marketplace.

Every region the service reaches will be able to download the measly 325.23MB file, then test-dunk the latest instalment in the consistently good basketball series.

New to the mix this year are "Lock-On D" defensive controls, more customisable signature moves, better controls off the ball, revamped graphics, swathes of online options, slam dunk contests and all the hip-hop you can wave half a trouser-leg at.

It joins other 2K Sports news that NHL 2K8 will now feature a video capture tool, well, if you download it for 400 points (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.80) from Live.

NHL 2K8 and NHL 2K8 will be available on PS3 and 360 in October.
