I’d just like to know when WIPEOUT HD will be patched. the game is broken with full of freezes.
I hope there’s no 2 player co-op trophies, i’m screwed if there is, or I hope they can be unlocked in 8 player online co-op.
Good week. Jeff, any news on soldner-x?
I’m having trouble deciding. Should I get quest for booty or wipeout HD?
is Suda51’s PS1 game also coming to the american PSN? (plz say yes!) :D
@001
Depends, if you like white-knuckle crazy anti-grav racing, or if you are a hardcore R&C fan. Me, I own both, but WipEout is definitely worth more for the money.
question
are you guys going to distribut LBP beta keys in anyway through ps blog, or G.A.P?
next stop, little big planet
Gaming on the PS3 in October will be much better.
Thanks for bringing the Blog to Orlando Friday Jeff it was fun !!
BTW got that roll down on Wipeout HD.
Can’t access MTV gaming website from Canada, they should just use gametrailers.com since they own it. wth.
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day for peeople in the U.S., rest up guys.
Me.
Want.
LittleBigPlanet.

Good thing you didn’t post that crappy review of Wipeout HD on Gamespot. :D
Haters over there.
@Chaos_Bladez
Yeah, they are sometimes. From the context of their review, it was very positive, the impressions I got from it was that the game was an 8.5 or a 9/10, yet they docked it way too severely. They always give harsher scores than most outlets because they feel new games need to be judged harder than old ones were, which is fine when it’s a $60 retail title, but the fact that yes, WipEout HD features all the tracks from the PSP titles is kind of lame, BUT the PSP titles are still expensive, the two of them together would cost about $50 USD. Now, compare that to the $20 HD spectacular on the PSN. I’d say that alone merits it a higher score regardless of it’s pre-existent formats.
Steering Wheel in WOHD. That way I don’t have to set fire to my PS3 in protest. I was always able to break the disk and send it back. :(
WipeOut:HD is BRILLIANT!!! ;-P
Good Luck
I thought this weeks sidebar was moving kind of slowly. Good articles there, nonetheless.
@Jeff
Why are the Playstation forums shunned by Blog posters?
JRPG’s at TGS please :D
The blog is coverign TGS right? Are you goign to the pre-TGS Sony party? Any chnace of some leaks?
:P
I kid.
Mirror’s Edge On PS3 Gets Exclusive DLC
kotaku.com/5044129/mirrors-edge-on-ps3-gets-exclusive-dlc
If it’s true that only the ps3 is getting DLC, and not the 360, then you guys should promote this more around November 11.
I hope Little Big Planet sells well. However, I also hope Sony has enough sense to release a PS3 SKU that has the official bluetooth headset bundled with a PS3 and the game, that is if Little Big Planet is the system seller that Sony hopes it will be.
knock on wood. I have no problems with my WipEout HD. I feel for you guys that keep getting locked up in it. sorry to hear that. hope everything works out for ya.
peace,
Lh
I’m sure you’ve heard this before but I’d just like to say it again. PLEASE HURRY UP AND PATCH/FIX WIPEOUT. I’m not deleting people off my list just so I can play this game online. Argh!
Hi Jeff.
I haven’t commented here in a long time, mainly because I’ve been busy on another website. I’ve still read most of the posts (but not their comments), and I really like these “PlayStation around the Web” posts.
Since I am working part time and taking >18 credit-hours at college, I don’t have a tremendous amount of free time. Being able to just look at one post each week and read basically everything that’s going on in the PlayStation world (and the gaming world in general) is incredibly nice, and the articles you find are excellent.
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to read all those articles and find the ones that you think are interesting/informative.
Keep up the good work there at Sony! Tell the guys at Studio Liverpool that Wipeout rocks, will ya?
You’re lucky Jeff…
You must get into all the betas by default :(
Jeff come challege me in some wipeout. The game is awesome definately worth my money.
For all of your trophy questions:
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=psnetwork&thread.id=290980
thanks for the recap… these update and hands-on are always good..
Bummer! Burnout Paradise trophies NOT retroactive! It’s too much! :(
Nothing about Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 on the Playstation blog ever.. what’s up with that?
I can’t believe this…everyone knows that Xbox has the red ring of fire….well there is something like that for the ps3 and its called the yellow light of doom….this yellow light is just like the red ring. so everyone who has a ps3 be very careful you do not get the yellow light of doom.
So you guys are seriously not even going to comment on the Wipeout HD crash bug? *shakes head*
Just wanted to advise other Canadians, Future Shop in Canada now has pre-orders available on their site.
PS3 Fanboy put out the message and today I went to the link Fanboy provided and ordered my copy.
An email was sent immediately from Future Shop to confirm that my order was indeed placed.
My comment for @39 is for
LBP – Little Big Planet – pre-orders now being taken at Future Shop Canada.
