So, I've pre-ordered, but how do i download the demo? Or does it do that automatically? (Xbox) Last I heard the preload will be available for download on January 23rd for the demo on 25-27th.

What saandrig said. Check the EA Anthem site … they explain the specifics for each platform.
The VIP demo will carry over to the open demo … but require an update. After the end of the open demo, you'll need to uninstall the demo and download/install the official released version when it become available.

Does this include us Canadians in the Great White North? All the times for the Western Hemi are based on US times....I suppose I could go by Eastern US times, but Canadian Zones are even slightly different from that.
Can any clarify/specify please and thank you. I am glad to hear about an early DL date (ie DL begins on the 23rd so that we can start playing exactly on the 25th without wasting time) This is good news.

Time zones for Canada and the U.S. will be the same, the only difference is Newfoundland is +30 minutes over Atlantic time. If you're EST in Canada, you can just use the chart.

I'm sure if I got EA tech support online, they'd tell me everything is working fine …
In fact, working as intended.
Perhaps if I reinstalled all my other EA games, then the Anthem demo would start to load.
And if that doesn't work, reinstall my OS …
Because that would probably totally fix the problem, which they are definitely not having at all.

No demo on Origin yet. Was hoping to let it download while I am at work but no luck. Guess I'll do that tonight and then offer the VIP invites - I got two left.

I do feel a little bad for Bioware having to be under the scrutiny of EA. Selling well right off the top isn't really enough for EA anymore ... they want solid recurrent consumer spending for large budget titles.
EDIT: BTW does anyone know if the demos carry over our progress for the full game? Like is the demo the first 2 hours of the game and we can continue on when the full thing releases?
Almost positive it doesn't carry over. Just like with the demos we were able to download and play for DA2 and ME3, they are vertical slices of the game. You start demos at level 10 and can carry your vip save into the open demo (don't delete the vip demo, they're the same), but the game at launch will not allow any demo saves, everyone's a scrub. I'm on PS4, has anyone been able to find the correct link for the three vip demo invitations yet? I think this is it, but no codes yet, maybe they pop up when the demo goes live www.ea.com/en-gb/games/anthem/anthem-demos/refer-a-friend

The consensus appears to be they will pop up at 'go-live', but 'friends' currently without VIP access should be able to preload anyway.

If on PC, the download is a bit hidden. Go in Origin, go in the Origin store (not in your library), find Anthem, click on it and the click on the "Try it first" tab.

Home and time to install demo. Sat here looking at my games tab in Origin and was ok nothing. Then came here and found my answer I know, right? Same thing kinda happened to me. I booted up Origin.....Looked at my Games Tab and thought "where/how can I install the Demo? I read just load Origin and you're good to go....But...." So then I went onto the ANTHEM website, read the same thing (no help), I went to EA (no help)....So then I searched around the Origin UI (luckily for me someone from this site was on Origin, so I asked him)....and viola!
But for a minute when I'm searching all these places and coming up empty, I thought I wouldn't be able to access it-- that maybe it was only for people with Origin Memberships (which would suck) but I knew it wasn't because the Devs said so, and plus that wouldn't be very fair, so they just wouldn't do that kinda thing. I knew there had to be a way....just had to ask around.

PC Player here. So, I just finished the story portion of the demo. Overall I liked the experience. The match making function was okay. Since I was not able to download and log into the game until I got home from work, I have a feeling that there were fewer people to group with, but we did finish the missions; even with only two of us.
I did NOT get sick with the first person perspective (thank you Bioware).
The flying controls took me awhile to get used to. Even when I managed to get a moderate amount of control I still found myself slamming into rocks and cliff faces. I'll have to work on that one. I was able to hover and shoot, but I'm not sure how I manage that one.
During the second part of the mission, I found my grenades and rocket launcher out of desperation. The match did not find anyone for me initially and I was solo for the first third of that mission.
Mind you, I was very skeptical about this game. I really enjoy Bioware games, but this type of game is just not something I would have bought if it were produced by any other company. That being said, I am looking forward to the full release. I think I need to find a regular group though. It will be able to coordinate if we can chat and formulate a strategy for the mobs.
-----End of line-----

Here's a somewhat stupid question. If you start out with a premier subscription, you get basically everything include during launch, including the founders banner. Do you actually lose that if you decide to buy the LoD edition after launch? Even if you've had your subscription going until then. The table in the OP looks like it's only available if you pre-purchase even when on a subscription. Was thinking about starting out with a sub, but I dont' want to lose things if I end up buying the game later on.
