Wipeout HD demo - available

jayteecork

So I was messing around, registering PS3 accounts from diferent countries, seeing the different stuff available.

If you create a new user and put your country as Hong Kong, you will be able to download the Wipeout HD demo(which isn't available in Europe or US).

The PSN store for Hong Kong is in English which makes navigation easy. There's a whole bunch of demos not available over here available.

Wipeout HD looks pretty awesome too.

What's that about?
I had a look around the net and found no mention of Wipeout HD getting a retail release.

What's Smyth's up to?

It was mentioned on Gamespot at least, but at the time it wasn't certain if it was going to be a UK only release. I guess not.

Yeah it was announced about 3 weeks ago about the retail release. Its a savage game with a great online community if you dont have it GET IT.

jayteecork

Still can't find any online store are selling the retail version.

I know it's not out yet but they normally take orders weeks or months in advance.

positron

Apologies for digging out old thread, but I guess there's still no retail version of this game yet?

I'll try signing up with HK and see if I can download the demo.

positron

PS: Just noticed that the SMYTHS link above says good availability on various shops.. are they referring to some other (older) version?

jayteecork

AIFAK the retail version is a GAME exclusive.

rizzla

I saw it for sale in Xtra Vision Asheaf about a month ago. It's definitely on shelves.

Ive defo seen a copy in Xtravision

positron

Looks like the real deal. See this: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/14/wipeout-hd-fury-expansion-bundled-for-blu-ray-in-europe/

May be it hasn't hit main media yet as it hasn't come out in the US may be? I am now itching to get this - I have tried this game on PSP and I am really really bad at it..!

jayteecork

Haven;t seen it around myself at all tbh.

Mossy Monk

It was released on Bluray a few months ago IIRC. Definately seen it in Xtravision.

Bugg

Seen it in Xtra-Vision a few times and saw it in Smyths last week. Its been out for almost two months.

Wouldn't bother. Demo is sh*te. There is very little leaway with it. One car, one track.

thorbarry

Yea its deffo out, I seen it in gamestop in drogheda last weekend

Edit: it was €27 by the way

positron

Okay cheers, will skip the demo and will keep an eye out for a deal on the retail version. Thanks again!

Josey Wales

I saw this in Smyths at the weekend for €25. Couldn't believe it. What an amazing bargain.

Screw the demo, just get the full game. You need the fury add on as well...the eliminator game mode is awesome, definitely my favourite.

positron

Just noticed Amazon.com is selling PSN game codes, and WipeOut HD is just $19.99, approximately €14.

Does anyone know if I can buy this game using Irish credit card details from Amazon.COM and then use the code here to download the game? Does this work for any games?
