Developer Milestone is well known for some of the most intense and realistic racing games around, and we’re offering one of their finest efforts with Superstars V8 Racing. The game is loaded with full platinum Trophy support, both arcade or simulation-style racing modes, official licenses from BMW, Audi, and Jaguar, 12 player online multiplayer, and an INSANE sense of speed that you just won’t find in most other racing simulations.

We also wanted to thank you, the fans, for all of your support on our ‘Superstars V8 Racing’ Facebook page as well. As some of you know from our last post, we’re giving away FREE DOWNLOAD CODES for the game, and there’s still time to win a copy for yourself! Simply head to the official North American ‘Superstars V8 Racing’ Facebook page, “Like” the page, and then post the phrase “Superstars V8 Racing on PSN” onto the wall. This will automatically enter you for a chance to randomly win one of 25 download codes that will be given away on launch day. You have until October 25th at 11:59pm Pacific Time to enter. Also, since we’re launching at just $19.99, if we hit the magic number of 1,999 likes by that same cutoff time, then we’ll be doubling the prizes to a total of 50 free codes! We’re just a tad short of our tally right now, so definitely suggest the page to your friends!

Thanks again to PlayStation fans and racing fans everywhere. We’re offering up a BIG game at a very small price next week and we wouldn’t be able to do it without your support. This Tuesday, look out for Superstars V8 Racing on PSN when it’s ready for download, and look out for us on the tracks. See you on the circuits!

Superstars V8 Racing is one of most robust, deep and graphically rich racing games on PSN, and at $19.99 it’s going to be difficult for anyone to find a better bargain; Superstars V8 Racing is a full retail game packaged for PlayStation Network. Dozens of official circuit tracks, head-to-head online play with up to seven other players, and big name brand cars make this a great racing game.

Why did we drop the retail disc, and go digital on the PSN?

A little over six months ago, we had aspirations to take Superstars V8 Racing to the retail channel. We took the title on tour to the major North American retailers and tried to find a market for the game. The retailers really enjoyed the title, it simply came down to limited shelf space at each location and trying to slot the game between other titles being released. O-Games had a critical decision to make; we could wait for the retailers to have room for our game, or we could take the exact same game and place it on PlayStation Network.

Once we decided to take the full version game and place it on the PSN store, we began to realize that many of the costs associated with taking the product to retail no longer applied. We no longer had to account for manufacturing discs, packaging, shipping, returns, retail marketing and other costs. So, here we were with a $39.99 retail game which was getting less expensive for us to ship to the consumer, and ultimately we decided to pass the savings on to gamers.

As you play Superstars V8 Racing, keep in mind that you are playing a game that was planned for a $39.99 retail launch but given to you for $19.99. Sometimes consumers do win!

Now off to the races….
