[Update: According to the fine fellows at Destructoid, the demo will allow you to play both as modern and classic Sonic.]
For those eager to try out the demo for the latest Sonic game, you will not have to wait much longer. The EU Playstation blog has confirmed that the Sonic Generations demo will be online from tomorrow, which just so happens to be the birthday of Sonic the Hedgehog, so for those all eager to try out the physics and control in the latest Sonic title, the wait is almost over.
But it does not stop there, for a duration of 20 days only, PSN members can purchase the 20th Anniversery Bundle from the 23rd of June which will include the following; Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 (Along with dynamic theme) and Sonic Adventure DX (With DX add-on) all for £13.99/€17.99, a decent price for a good amount of games.

Shitty news: the demo EXPIRES July 12th, so it will no longer play after then. Also, it is ONLY the classic stage. So the stage with the most meat (modern) will not be playable. Pretty disappointing.
Is this for the European PSN only?
Barry, I only wanted to try out the classic stage. I want to feel the physics and stuff. I pretty much know what modern Sonic will play like. We have been playing it for the last decade.
As fun as modern sonic looks. This is still a good thing! 😛 I'm sure we will get a modern sonic demo sometime in the future.
got my EU PSN account ready.
Only Classic Sonic? Stupid decision. People are going to think this is just another 2D Sonic game, and Modern Sonic's section's incredibly fun. Classic Sonic's stage is fun and everything but it's pretty much just all 3 acts of Green Hill Zone merged together. Modern Sonic's Green Hill Zone is the real star of the demo.
Why would they release only half the demo? Ugh, Sega……
"I pretty much know what modern Sonic will play like. We have been playing it for the last decade."
lol not really….
This demo is but a tease, and probably just after the demo time expires they'll ask for a little feedback in the usual way.
I wouldn't be too surprised to see the modern gameplay demo to fly in shortly after the classic one expires.

K, good. It just would have been ridiculous otherwise. :p

Well there we go in all it's glorious satisfaction for 20 days.
