WipEout HD Lands BluRay Release [39]
We’ve just maxed the TSA Towers broadband line this morning, what with the LBP beta weighing in at a hefty 900 MB and now the final ‘gold’ version of WipEout HD (which can can categorically confirm is out tomorrow) streaming down our pipes. It’s 2 MB shy of a Gig, and we’ll be bringing you the full lowdown on the release version of the game, alongside our full review, very shortly – in the meantime check out our hands-on impressions from last week.
It’s been a fantastic few days for the PSN, with Motorstorm 2, LBP and now the fastest racer on Earth. Who needs Blu-ray, eh?
Update: can’t play online yet, retail server is down, but here’s my first 4 photo mode shots. Managed to grab about 6 Trophies, too.

The retail servers aren’t live, so I can’t play without being signed out of PSN, which is a shame so I can’t test the online play until tomorrow. Got my first Trophies, though. =)

In the original post. Tinypic might be blocked where you are, though, or you’re using adblock or something?

Thanks for the effort. Looks like I’ll have to wait until I get home. TinyPic does appear to be blocked from here. Hope you’re having fun!

I was hoping so too, but then the 360 prices have been dropped again. £129.99 for the Arcade, only £169.99 for a 60GB Premium. If I was a parent I know which console I’d buy to keep little Timmy happy.

I do agree with you
Sony are leaving it up to the people who work in stores to sell the benefits of the ps3

If I was a parent I know what I’d buy, but I’d miss out on Sackboy

How are the load times for Wipeout HD? I’m definitely getting it but I’m wondering if you can get into a game quick enough for it replace Super Stardust as my 15 minute gaming fix.

Really, really fast. From the main menu, ship selection, track etc is about 5 seconds in total, and from there the map loads in about 10 seconds. Less with Zone mode.

Brilliant. Sometimes I’ve only got about half an hour to play and, fun as they are, games like Burnout have load times comparable to my old Commodore 64.
I’m a modern man, I demand instant gratification!
