i agree with what JABBERJAW said above and Darkdrium's thread is very interesting. something is very wrong with sony marketing this generation. so called 'smaller games' need promoting too. see any xbox live arcade game for example, promoted well. sell well.

just to confirm JABBERJAW's comments on the multiple site's thing here's a third site stating the same release date!!!:

http://www.game.co.uk/PS2/Racing/~r3...WipEout-Pulse/

someone needs to say yes this game is coming, get fans excited and people with ps2's interested. i can't believe anyone is waiting to announce this one at E3, one week before it's release. HD content, yes. pulse ps2...no thats just stupid beyond beleif.
