7:20pm GMT. Just a few hours to go ...

... and Wipeout Pure is finally unleashed in Europe.

Thanks for keeping the buzz going, guys. The wait has been interminable - for all of us.

Fingers crossed, this kicks some serious butt all over Euroland.

PS, it's a warm night here in England. Perfect weather for queuing up outside GAME at midnight!

[Mobius]

Damn Egg, you have been invading my thoughts again. :wink:

Except its particularily humid so there is a chance of thunderstorms in London. I'm going in a midnight so this should be a treat.

[element42]

t's just finished lashing it down with rain here (massive lightning!), hopefully I'll be dry, hanging around in town...
Lost is on telly from 10-11 so that'll keep me occupied, then I can go and get my PSP! I've spent today making sure all the Xlink stuff is working, which (after much messing around with my firewall), it should be; with any luck I'll be online tommorrow for some much longed-for online wipeout play. woohoo!

[lunar]

wasn`t that a hell of a storm - totally spectacular here in Gloucestershire anyway. One advantage of PSP gaming - no more game power cuts (as long as you`re charged anyway). But no queing up in thunderstorms for me tonight.

Egg - hope the game is a massive success for your team over here too - it deserves to be.

[Mobius]

I've noticed the gamma pack is already up!

[Egg]

So... you could go to GAME at midnight with 7 friends, all buy a PSP but just one copy of Pure. Then you can Game Share and play Wi-Fi on the bus home

Or, preferably, you all by a copy :

Then, in a nearby late-night internet cafe, all download the gamma pack and play that 8-player on the bus home... the possibilities are endless.

im picking mine up from work 8am tomorrow morning

[Sausehuhn]

After school I will have it.
And after work I will play it!

[Dogg Thang]

Yeah, it's nice to think it will be all around me now. It seems like it has been a huge wait to reach here.

[Kansas]

I'm happy for all the EuroPilots.

Enjoy!

[Thruster2097]

For all you fellow UK /Euro pilots that have patiently waited until now to get your PSP, tonight will go very quickly.
YAY - waiting finally over!!!!!! :
I will be getting the UK editions of PurE and Ape Escape Academy tomorrow morning. It's a shame I have to work tomorrow because I would have been at bluewater at midnight offering to kick anyone's ass at ridge racers!

Currently 9pm in the UK, thats one hundred eighthty british minutes to go!

[X]

Man I can't wait any longer! Finally I'll have the PSP!! In 12hrs it will be mine WHAHAHAH! :
I'm thinking of buying Lumines too, the reviews on it are very good.

[Thruster2097]

Luminies is a phenomenon.
I cannot praise it highly enough.

It surely must be second on anyone's PSP game list.

[Childlikecake]

Don't forget us down under! I'm in New Zealand and picking up my PSP in a couple hours (EB didn't do a midnight opening, BASTARDS!). I only had enough money for the value pack and one game. But I have a feeling Pure will be all I need, at lest for a little while. Let's get ready, steady and go my Australian, European and Kiwi posse. New kids on the block with a PSP = more competition for you old hats. Hope you're all up to the challenge!

Hah, my only two PSP games are Lumines and Wipeout Pure. Great minds think alike

[bakkufu]

my first two games are Pure and Ridge Racer. I'm all one for the classics

[Thruster2097]

My third was ridge racers.
Anyway.... 55 minutes to go, you better be either getting ready to join the queue or actually be in the queue right now...

[Axel]

I might wait for the price to drop. I'm excited about the psp release. But the price at the moment is not the lick. I'll see if my undercover agent can sort me out a nice juicy price :

[X]

Couldn't sleep last night... too anxious... just 2 hrs till the stores open... can't wait any longer... 8O

[Mobius]

I did the midnight launch, charged it while i failed misearbly to sleep and had a go on it this morning...

My my, this is a masterpeice, pure genius. It rocks!!!!
