Warhawk No Demo?

SCEA responded to GameDaily BIZ: "Warhawk was designed to support up to 32-players online simultaneously. In a demo version of a multiplayer only game, there is little control over how many players will be on a dedicated server at a time, potentially leading to smaller online battles that do not fully do justice to the title's fast combat and frantic play. Additionally, Warhawk development underwent an extensive beta trial that included nearly 10,000 participants, which offered a wide audience ample opportunity to experience the game and provide valuable feedback to during Warhawk's development."

This is crazy. Sony has enough trouble dealing with slumping sales. The worst part is that even if Warhawk is great and right now it's PS3's highest rated exclusive title. To cop out of giving people a demo because they can't be bothered to create a demo server is insane. So I would recommend renting Warhawk. Atleast then if you don't like it you haven't spent $60 for a headset. Or $40 for extra used space on your hard drive.
