Microsoft has apologised this morning for releasing a demo of upcoming rolling collect-em-up Beautiful Katamari that’s only accessible by Xbox LIVE Silver members.

Speaking in a post on his blog, Microsoft Europe’s community manager Graeme Boyd asked Gold members to “hold tight” as the company sorts out the problem.

He said: “There’s a Beautiful Katamari demo available on marketplace now, but there’s been a wee mistake somewhere along the line and at the moment it’s only available for Silver members. It’ll be fixed soon though, at which point it’ll only be available to Gold members for the next week – and then open for everyone.

“Hold tight Gold members, and if you’re a Silver member and you fancy rolling around in one of the funniest and most surreal gaming experiences ever, get your skates on.”

While you’re waiting, why not check out the latest trailers for Beautiful Katamari, which is set to hit UK shores on 29 February, over on our video player?
