What? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Buy it yourself then. Don't flake out on us!

Well I can't buy it because my mum can see what has been bought, and she can't stop complaining about everything playstation related as it is.

Wait a second, your mother goes through your download list and checks everything you've bought? How old are you bro? Just go get a temp job for a day, mow a lawn, something. You can make the money it costs to buy WipEout for yourself in an afternoon easily, and your parents will be proud that you're working for the things you want.

I think credit card might be an issue here too???

Seriously...seeing how cheap the game is...it'll be worth it...if mum sees you playing a new game...say it's a demo...:)

Anyway...I'm sure you have valid reasons...but it'll be a shame to miss you online...

Go get a PSN card from Blockbuster or something. I'm sorry but I wouldn't let anything stand in the way of me getting something I've been waiting so anxiously for. All this wait for nothing? F' that. YOU WILL FIND A WAY!

That sucks...

Sony should sell 'one use debit cards' where you can go to the shops, pay cash and get $20, $30, $50 or $100 worth of credit use on the Playstation Network Store, similar to Apple iTunes cards you can buy from the shops. That would solve all this credit stuff.

Wipeout and Quake 3. You have good taste. ^_^ Q3 still the best fps/dm game.

If the game works as most games on PSN the answer is yes. But it's wipeout + the game is so cheap, buy it. :S

yep i like fast games and since q3 no other fps came close to that speed, but i only play the defrag mod nowadays =)

i meant lost my head because I wasn't exactly swimming in money and apart from playing xvid tv shows and wipeout i don't have any uses for her.

Just to let you guys know, I'm having a half day at school, so if I'm on it I've got it.[obviously(still don't know why I said that)]:).

Too bad you feel that way, the PS3 library may be a bit smallish compared to the other systems, but it has numerous excellent games to play.

Yeah, the age of the twitch shooter are gone. Now it's about learning curves and slowing it down for noobs to be able to compete. This new generation of gamers is all about easy.

Man, this game better come out soon, just about every thread is starting to run off topic as we all just keep coming to see if anyone has downloaded it yet.

Midnight GMT is when you should expect to see it, not much before and not much later.

Well, from the comments I've read in other threads anyway. 8 )
