THQ today have released a demo for the 2008 edition of the Smackdown Vs. Raw series for Xbox Live Marketplace. The official release date for the final retail version of the game stands at November 8.

"The WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 playable demo on Xbox Live Marketplace will offer players a taste of what the game has to offer prior to its release this November," said Nelo Lucich, vice president of interactive, JAKKS Pacific. "The new Superstar Fighting Styles and Struggle Submission System significantly enhance gameplay, and players can take advantage of Superstar and arena options from RAW, SmackDown and ECW."

Hopefully with consoles increasingly becoming more online savvy, we may actually start seeing a properly updated roster given the WWE's tends to change every week.
