Oh man, you're making me worried. I never played the PSP Wipeouts. I love the PSOne games to bits, especially XL. I couldn't stomach the PS2 offering. Why did the PSP games leave you feeling hollow and cold?

i'm probably one of the few who enjoyed the original Wipeout more than XL.

Steam allows to preload the games before the release date. The files are crypted to avoid friendly hackers to play it before, but we all avoid the online traffic jams.

Please Sony, the files on the Store are already crypted, just gave us the right to pre download it early !

Why does Eurogamer keep reporting prices in pounds? I hate that. They should call themselves Britishgamer.

The news is about the UK release, in the UK we pay in pounds. Makes perfect sense to me. If they put the price in Euros for a release that would be paid in pounds, it would cause confusion.

Copy and paste this onto the blog, posting it here it'll fall on deaf ears. I'd like to see this implemented as well.

Agreed.

I was also flabbergasted when it turned out that Eurogamer was only allowed to give away SOCOM Confrontation beta keys to UK based accounts only...

The thing is they usually report "Euro news" as UK ones. That doesn't make any sense to me.

Oh, I hadn't noticed that, that does indeed seem a little off, it's hardly challenging to put both prices split by a friendly '/'.

Let's hope it will not remain unread. Even if I doubt anything will be done before WipEout HD's release. At least, let's hope for some changes for the upcoming higly anticipated PSN releases.

They wouldn't even need to encrypt it or leave out vital parts till the last minute like Steam, they could have the full complete game installed and just make the user activate it on PSN the second it becomes 'unlocked'.

There is no reason they shouldn't.

It might be quite amusing to see loads of people having a fit on the floor from the awesomeness of WipEout HD...

I know I'm late, but did they ever explain why it was delayed so many times.

They were ironing out the slowdown/tearing issues and then they ran into the Zone Mode failing epileptic tests.

And then they spent some extra time adding stuff like split screen and trophies, neither of which were planned for the original release. The delay is very much worth it.

To be fair my local pizza place is pretty cheap too, still the big boys charge Wipeout HD prices.

I prefer to make my own.

Plus if I was to go to this posh pizza place and get a duck with hoi sin sauce pizza on freshly made dough...it'd cost me £9. Why'd you go to a horrible greasy place? >_<

WipEout HD - the price of a bottle of wine (an expensive one :D )

WipEout HD is just like a bottle of wine : the older it gets, the better it is !

Which makes me think if DLC packs come in sets of 8 tracks (over reaching/massive stretch) for 10 dollars, this game will have a good life span. I'd buy that for sure.

I still can't believe we're getting this game for 20 dollars, it feels like stealing. Day one for sure.
