Marked as a rumour until we get a proper translation, but today’s Famitsu magazine says something about a demo for Resident Evil 5, with co-op, on the 5th of December.  This is presumably only a Japanese demo, and we’re not sure whether it’s for the PS3 or the 360, or both.

Further investigation required, then.  Stay tuned.

Update: OK, we’ve now learnt that the demo will be exclusive to the Xbox 360.  Sorry guys.  According to IGN (who have just run a story on this) the game will feature two levels from the game’s urban setting playable both single player and online via the new co-op mode, as we thought.

Update 2: Looks like not only will the above Resident Evil 5 demo be coming out at least in America, but there’ll be a PS3 demo too, so it’s clearly not exclusive, according to ShackNews, who appear to have mistakenly quoted IGN as the original source of the news.  Tut.
