SANTA CLARA, Calif., (July 15, 2008) – NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today announced that as a part of Microsoft’s E3 "Bringing it Home" campaign, a playable demo for the upcoming role-playing game Tales of Vesperia is now available for download from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
