WipEout HD stars in PS Store update News

Downloading Wipeout HD now :D

Surely the best release day on PSN ever!?

Awesome update.

£24.99 for Burnout Paradise...?!? You can buy the disc version for that on Play.com. Wouldn't it have been better if the PSN version was under £20?

But, yeah, it's a good update this week... would have been even if Wipeout HD was the only thing new! LOL

£24.99!!?? Bastards.

I thought at $30 the most we would pay is £19.99 (and then that is a touch high in comparison).

Ah well, can't complain as we have WipeoutHD.

I'll be having the Videogames question pack for Buzz! TV Quiz, thank you! Wondered when that was going to come out... :)

How much is Wipeout HD in the US? I was just wondering if that game uses the same £ to $ ratio as Burnout Paradise.

GT5 Prologue is £24.99 I think, I got my disc version for £12 or thereabouts

Have I missed something? WipeoutHD isn't on my PSN at all.

Check under All Games > W... it might appear under there.

RUSH! Wheeeeee!

And by the way, it's Witch HUNT not Hunter!

It is the best PlayStation store update since the PlayStation 3 was available but it is spoiled a little bit by the asking price of £24.99 for Burnout Paradise; how did SCEE figured that it was fair price going by the $30 the Americans have to pay?

Oh well... I'm happy with Mega Man 9 and WipEout HD.

YAY, for Megaman. I'm loving my PS3 right now, it's all platform goodness this week.

Wipeout at 11.99 seems a steal.

If Burnount paradise was the same price I would buy it and I reckon they would clean up.

But you can buy a shiny disc for that, and then sell it on on ebay or transfer it easily between machines.

If they want these downloads to take off (and cut out many middle men and second hand sales) then they need keener pricing.

Creating my own LBP level last night...Scoring Burnout Paradise trophies this morning...Downloading Wipeout HD now...Buying Pure and Civ: Colonization tomorrow, what a shit week of gaming, wish i hadn't traded in my 360 now :)

Hmm no pro evo. Well, they had their chance.

/preorders FIFA09

If Burnout is 25 notes then, I'd assume that's the current RRP to be honest.

Nobody risks undercutting retail for fear of angering the GAME godz.

Gran Turismo 5:P was the same

What the hell...Wipeout HD is nowhere in my PSN. I've checked everywhere...even under the carpet.

Good news about the Bioshock theme, nothing else of note this week.

UK store suck balls coz they wont accept my CC from Poland.....cunts! but US store does so I am off getting my Burnout Paradise for 30$ oh yeh :P

Not till tomorrow afternoon damn it :( any news about mirrors edge demo on US store?

Nice update. Wipeout HD thank you very much...

EDIT: Whoo Whoo Whoo... @ saku_luk - The "C" word in the UK and across lots of Europe is deemed rather offensive lets tone it done a little.

/does not like bad language, when there is no need.

Have played 4 levels of Wipeout on my new 40inch hdtv - oh the joy! Absolutely brilliant. Even had a little moment where i remembered playing the first one on the PSone.

The detail and sound is unbelievable!

no sign of Mirror's Edge on US store, unless they've put it under Qore only...

Aaaaaaaaaaaanti-climax Thursday again!
Wait.... WHAT?!?!

*falls off chair*

no offense intended from me tho ^^;;;;

EDIT:
I just read somewhere else that ME demo will be put on PSN just before launch, which is in November :(

Dashing off home now to download Wipeout HD... :)

/whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh

Good update but was hoping the COD4 maps would appear this week at half price, as we didnt get them last week..... Looks like we are going to get screwed over that :(

I just finished the first grid in WipEout HD plus a couple of online races - better than I had ever hoped. And I had sort of been hoping rather a lot :p.
Not just are the visuals such a massive improvement over the PSP games that anything but the turns and twists of the tracks seems almost entirely different, but going from the cramped controls of the PSP to the DS3 (with nicely implemented rumble effects to boot) is such a huge improvement in terms of precision (I'm using the analogue stick) and feel.

Wipeout HD looks absolutely fantastic... damn ! :)

tempted.......................

PSN is shit hot at the moment, and WHD is incredible

I can't add funds to my account, anyone else getting that?

Great timing on the Beijing demo. There marketing bods really know their onions.

Burnout Paradise for £24.99 is an absolute steal. Well it feels like they're robbing us, anyway.

I might have to go for Burnout Paradise - I didn't realise it was even being offered as a downloadable game.

Wipeout HD just goes without saying!

Oh I wish we could buy sony points cards. Please god sony release wipeout hd in stores eventually, its the only ps3 game I want, I really really want.

It finally appeared on my PSN..blooody teases.

Today is a good day to have money.

Download is sooo slow for me right now. PSN must be getting hammered.

Usually a few gigs come down in a couple of hours from PSN. Not today.

WHERE IS MY MIRROR'S EDGE?

OMG loving Wipeout. Zone mode is so cool just to look at (yes and play).

Online works pretty well as well. If this had a couple more tracks I think this could have got away with being a far higher price. £11.99 is essential.

Dear Eurogamer: Is it really so difficult to include the € prices? Really?

Man, I think we'll need to start an UKgamer for the rest of europeans...

Wow... I've never had such slow download times. I guess that everyone else is trying to get Wipeout tonight too!

LBP and WOHD in one week. Someone at Sony must think it's Christmas. Only took nearly 18 months but they finally be getting their act together?

Well played all round.

Wipeout is stunning. But the later speeds... no human has those reaction times. :D

4) No stupid gates or Australian mine tracks where you can't see where you are going: check
5) No idiotic "hover ships skid on ice/dust" physics: check
6) No overdone smoke effects so you can't see where you are going: check

15) Devs finally forgot they ever saw the Ep 1 Podrace: check.

Had to wait up until 2.30am Aussie time to get it, but worth every second of a muggy day at work.
Utterly bl**dy brilliant, and made my 50" plasma (and eyeballs) howl in protest. Truly a screaming return to awesome form for a classic game, better than ever. Pity the Xbox only crowd today - there really isn't anything on the 360 to compare this too (yet - your time will come if this sells - I predict Quantum Redshift getting dusted down and sent out).

/wonders if I've become too old. Used to ace Phantom levels on 2097, W3O. Having trouble getting around Venom tracks.
/phones local eccy dealer and orders in a crate of red bull.

Pilot assist is a nice addition too, to help you get back in the groove!

Pilot Assist. n00bwin.

Sony are doing a great job with downloadable content. If I was MS i'd be looking ovr my shoulder. For first and third party (not indie titles) PSN is starting to shine.

Mega Man 9 is retro and not in a good way. I'm so glad there was a demo.

WipEout is all good though

damn u can file share wipeout!!!!!!!!!

my bro bought it and i "borrowed" it

tbh i would not have paid so no one loses :p

Bit cheeky charging more for Dominator.
