Race Pro demo before Christmas

Atari announces that the Xbox 360 game won't be out until January 09.

Good and bad news for race fans looking forward to Atari and SimBin's Race Pro on Xbox 360. The simulation racer will no longer be released this year as originally planned, but will instead arrive in stores in January 2009.

On the plus side, Atari has announced that a demo for the game will hit Xbox LIVE Marketplace before Christmas, giving players a taste of the racing action ahead of the full game's release. The demo will include online multiplayer and single-player racing.
