    Pain is coming to Blu Ray - could the same happen with other PSN games like Wipeout HD?

    Read the answer to the first comment on this Playstation Blog post....

    http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2009/...disk/#comments


    could be a bit of a clue there, or a mistake but we shall see....

    Pain isn't the only PSN title to be getting the Blu-Ray treatment, The Last Guy is going to BD in Japan with all the extra content, but that news is quite old now.

    I'm guessing if it does come out it'll be after Fury with the Fury content and sold as 'WipEout HD Fury'. I'd love to buy it if it did come out, for collection purposes, but I'd have to pass on it for now. My download version would be fine until the rumoured BD version is £4.99 .

    No, seriously. What!
    Pain is on BRD, but not WipEout HD. (Not yet anyways)
    WHAT!

    You know, I talked about it here (Last paragraph of the first post). How come PAIN gets more talk than WipEout HD, when WipEout HD is very much a lot better?
    Ugh.

    And also: who's taking bets as to whether an eventual release of WOHD on BRD is Europe only? :/
    Is there someone at Sony marketing with half of a working brain?

    how much would you pay for Wipeout HD on BRD?

    don't forget distributors margins, BR cost, royalties to sony for BR technology
    and WO:HD will cost 40€ like GT5 prologue...

    Yeah, doesn't matter. 40$ with 12 two way tracks, online gameplay, racebox, soundtrack customization and etc is what I payed for Pulse. If Fury is included on that BRD, you get the same number of things as with Pulse for the same price (And even a little more with new game modes from Fury, and new ships, and new zone exclusive tracks).

    Hi ImperatorA3,
    Sorry I don’t have a date for you on this yet but I’m sure there will be a
    blog update from the WipEout Product Manager very soon

    [Ref]
    WipEout HD Fury (including the content of WipEout HD, or vice versa) comes
    out on blu-ray disc (BD, not BRD). Not? Anyways, I would pay 59 EUR for all
    teh sh!t.

    "very soon"? I guess Fury is ready and due for release within the next
    two weeks? C'mon, bring it on!

    @Darkdrium777: I was thinking the same. Holy, wtf is going on here? lol

    No BRD for me. I'm not a huge fan of download able only games but I think Wipeout HD is the perfect title for it. It keeps the price down, not that I wasn't willing to pay more for HD but the $20 tag definatly makes it more attractive. I don't have to wait for the store to get it in stock since I have the bad luck of always trying to buy a game on backorder. That along with SL extensive delay on new content (no offense SL) not to mention, producing the discs, shipping, then selling takes time. The box art and manual are a bit of a hit to take in the process, but I've never bought a game for the manual or artwork.

    Download able games and DLC are the future of this industry, even if the current methods that developers and publisher of releasing half finished game and making u pay for the rest of the content through "DLC" is BS. The success of Steam shows what the proper execution of a game DL service can do. If sony, MS, and Nintendo could emulated steam then we could get rid of stupid stores like EB that mark up the price of games.

    My 2 cents

    @RedScar: True. It will be that way in the future (next-gen). But your
    arguments on the price is only valid atm because the price will climb at the
    same height as of today once DL service is common place and (retail) discs
    are obsolete. Don't you think? Here is my take on a retail version.

    @problemsolver
    It makes sense, I rarly prefer to buy DL vs hardcopy. I have only bought two games through DLC, BF2: Armoured Fury (irony lol) and WOHD. That said your post is looking what I believe is WAY down the road. Sony still has a lot of fleshing out for the PS3 in my mind. That said I don't wanna see my downloaded games disappear (which happened to my copy of BF2:AF) when sony/whoever drops their support. Its a complicated issue that can change siginficantly depending on how sony deals with PSN in the future. My main issue with WOHD coming out on BRD is that I've already paided for it, and unless I get some sorta coupon that gives me a disc free, don't wanna have to pay for it again.

    Personnally, I don't care about a BRD release unless it is a collector one (with artworks [not CG!!!!], models, or making of). The game is small, and a BRD release could mean a high price, but I admit it would probably bring more people in the game.
    The downloadable version has the advantage to be on the HDD all the time, and could be launched whenever I want. But on the other side, it can't be sold as used, you have to create your PSN account on your friends' PS3 and wait for the download to finish in order to play with him (but once it is done, you can come back and play righ away).

    Eventually, I don't see how a BRD release would affect the framerate since the data are loaded before the race start, and it the game could be installed on the HDD.
