I agree that DL has its advantage like no need to load the disc, or won't be damage.
But you have to bring your console or download again the game (which can be very long) if you want to play at a friend's home, you cannot re-sell it, you cannot lend it (legally, since it could only be on 5 ps3 system that you own).
I don't talk about the size on the hard disk since you can upgrade it.

For the time being I prefer the DL version, but I would like to see a retail version
simply because I wanna assure myself that I can play this game in 10 - 20 years
time when the PS3 isn't supported any longer and the PSN is something beyond.
Personally, I don't like the emulator-way because they never reproduce a game
to the degree it was done on the given hardware. Hence, I would love to see an
addition retail version that can be fully installed on the hard disc as well. Hopefully,
they (SL) will implement a LAN feature further down the road.... Otherwise the
WipEout HD online community / component will be dead in a few years time.
Sure there will be another WipEout on a possible PS4, but without a retail version
and a LAN feature these bits and bytes comprising WipEout HD will fade away for
all of us ... someday.

Sorry for having propagated false rumours...I knew 'Ultimate Racing' didn't sound right. Thank you for the correction, Colin. (But, hey! On the bright side, I was just quoted by Colin Berry! Awesome!)
I've been counting down the hours to E3 specifically for a WipEout announcement.
Extreme Pilot
When exactly is this E3 you keep mentioning?

usually get some great gaming info from the show. here's hoping for lots of goodies for everyone, regardless of what console anyone has!!!

Wow Colin, any chance of us getting some 3D WO?! Gotta get me a bigger screen!
If Colin says it, then WO is just going to get better
This E3 is going to be packing some very nice things. VERY.
Content Contributor
Thanks Colin! Delivering teases as usual
Extreme Pilot
Maybe if you stopped teasing the rumours would subside
In all seriousness, thanks Colin I'm looking forward to some E3 Wipeout related news!

I've just thought about this, can there be an option to delete our glitched records and then resynchronize with the leaderboards to it erases our glitched times from there too?
That would be great, because right now leaderboards are a big mess IMHO. We've got race times under thirty seconds everywhere...

After reading the two part report on the various 3D systems,both PRO and consumer versions,in the March & April editions of HI-FI News,I wouldn't be holding my breath on a Wipeout 3D release at E3 [unless some serious technical breakthroughs have occurred since CES 2009]
SONY were showing the RealD system at CES2009.
The problems with the consumer version as reported above are.
1] LCD displays are not fast enough to show the two alternating images without judder, and a special screen is needed that launches the lightwaves with the correct polarization.
2]Only 70% of 1080p resolution when using this system.
3]The polarized glasses used cut the amount of light coming from the display by 50%
4] Poor off axis viewing or slight tilting of head can make a mess of the image.
As a guesstimate ,if it were to appear at this stage,I think it would be at 576i resolution and the frame rate would of dropped.
After WOHD I'm not prepared for that compromise.

Damn, 3d would be so nice for this game. I am not holding my breath on it either, but I thought they had it ready even before (or so I read). All in all, I would still rather have more tracks then anything else. E3 is just around the corner, so...
Extreme Pilot
Well, trading 2d resolution for getting some real 3d depth isn't that bad.
Have you ever worn a 3d system? For sure, there are problems with the
technology, but.... Thing is, every game / application behaves rather
differently under a given 3d system. Unfortunately, up until today it isn't
really clear whether a 3d system improves anything or not. There are only
a few (computer graphics) PhD thesis who consider evaluating 3d systems
for different kinds of application. And I guess that nobody has ever done a
serious evaluation of a 3d system for gaming. So, in my opinion, its quite a
risk to go 3d for any game today. But let's give it a (new) try!
Further, I don't think that WipEout HD taped out the performance of the
the Cell/B.E. and the RSX processor, respectively.

@BlackWiggle : 200Hz LCDs are already launched, and it's not a surprise sony promote 3D, has half of this framerate is already over the 60Hz of the game.
so, no cut of framerate, full resolution (as the resolution was cut in progressive mode to save little frames per second)
with LED screen on the way, the brightness would not be a problem with polariser...
so wait n see, it's not necessary for E3, but maybe later.
Phantom Pilot
ok, we have 2 full days of pure speculations and thoughts left
then the judgement day will arrive
i will pray the great spirit of pierre belmondo in these couple of days for let me have tigron & vanuber, along with new modes a full set of tracks and cool new options,skins, menus, goodies
p.s. at our time year 2009 pierre belmondo would be a 5 year kid heehhehe...but i will pray the great spirit of ag racing anyway
