A demo for Split/Second, the new arcade racer from Pure devs, Black Rock Studios, is now available to download now on Xbox Live. However, the demo is only available to Xbox Live Gold subscribers, so it looks like Silver subscribers and Playstation owners will have to wait until May 11th, when the demo gets a full release.

Now that Criterion Games have stopped supporting Burnout Paradise, there is definitely a place in the market for a good arcade racer. The question remains though, will racing fans opt for this, or for Bizarre Creations powered-up racer, Blur? I personally am looking forward to both (a lot!), so it looks like May is going to be an interesting month.

The demo for Split/Second is available on Xbox Live now, whilst the retail game ships in North America on May 18th, and in Europe on May 21st.
