Right from the official Ubi board... (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/2771048463/m/6961091964/p/1)

OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE
Word on the Ubisoft street is that you can expect Splinter Cell Double Agent to be on store shelves by OCTOBER 19th. Mark your calendars, or, if you want to possibly get it early (which sometimes happens… no promises, though) then Pre-Order it now.

DEMOS

Ok, so it’s not all completely good news. This topic contains a piece of unfortunate news and a piece of good news, but I think (hope) you’ll be content about it in the end.

Unfortunate News first: we will not be having a public beta test of versus mode (PC) like we did for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. We’re sorry, we tried to make it happen, but it just wasn’t meant to be this time.

Good News: We WILL be having demos for you. The dev team has confirmed that we will be doing an Xbox360 multiplayer demo, and single-player AND multiplayer demos for PC. I do not have official dates for you yet so I’ll have to get back to you on that, but we can all probably estimate that these demos won’t be showing up sooner than a month before launch because no one ever releases demos earlier than that.Thanks to Voodoo Extreme (http://ve3d.ign.com/) for the tip.

Damn good news.

So...no SP demo for 360? Thats the only part I really care about.

I'm agreeing with you, for me I only have a silver live account until Gears of War comes out so a MP demo is pretty much useless for me.....hope they come to their senses and release a SP demo as well.

The real question is, will there be more Angry Mime?

Nice! That plus Gears of War in November will make my gaming world complete.

Umm, Capcom did! I still play the demo and people have been talking about it since the day it became available on marketplace. Releasing demos of loved franchises can be a very good thing. I could see if you were going into uncharted territory and didn't want people saying your game sucks months before it comes out... but Splinter Cell is an automatic seller.
