See, this could never been done on the 360. Way too many people have friends on xbox live.

So THAT'S why the average Live user has 23 contacts according to Microsoft, because they have so many gosh durn friends.

I meant that in a joking way, but seriously, I only know so many people who own ps3s, but even if you have a big friends list you get no informatoin back from it.

You get two bits of info

1) Are they offline?
2) If online what game?

This is not enough information for a true online experience!

You don't get to see what all games they have and when they play them, so I have no idea when most of my friends play online or what they play.

Yeah thats the one thing that bugs me about my black box. It is really barebones on the friendlist. As much as I hate my 360, the friend list on that thing is near perfect. I just hope Sony switch some resources to fleshing out some of these features after Home is released

This isn't the first time a game crashed because of the PSN. I wonder what the deal is.

Maybe they're hoping that if they complain enough, the folks in 1995 will hear and change it..

That's like the 2nd or 3rd game that freezes or locks up during a game that the current remedy is to log yourself out of PSN.. Doesn't anyone else think that's a little strange?

That's a very impressive workaround to effectively get 1080p running smoothly

So in short, it's ALWAYS in 1080p, as it's always got more than 1080 lines of vertical resolution, and at times the resolution is greater than 1080p.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p

Whats crap, is so few 360 games can manage native 1080p (the list is about 3 I seem to recall).

I only have a few friends on PSN (add me: MassterTed)

The only problems I had with wipeout so far was when I was downloading the game I would get an error and signed out of PSN

Have not got it since, I think it was just because the servers were hammered

I take it most of those friends on your list comes from the various mispellings of the 12 people you REALLY wanted to add?

The problem seems to have eased off a bit, maybe the servers were getting hammered on the first day or two.

Brilliant game, photo mode is like sex for the eyes!

Nope... not a single skip. I've used both the built in soundtrack and my own music and it works perfectly either way.

It's probably not the PSN's fault, just the way the developers interfaced the game with the network.

Haven't had any crashes in Wipeout HD--but then again I have no friends.

Love the game, love photo mode!

Not had any problems but then I only have 4 friends listed :D Loving the game though, played it a lot since it came out, and I can see myself continuing to do so for a long, long, long time.

I would've happily paid twice the amount charged, and would still consider it a good deal.

For the love... Could you guys get over the capital "E"? Have you not been paying attention to any WipEout games until now? Have you ever seen the older logos? Do you know anything about style? Just leave it alone already.

I haven't taken this online yet but I have noticed that it sometimes takes the countdown that appears before the races to start counting down consistently. Sometimes it starts counting down right off the bat, sometimes it takes 5-7 seconds to start counting down. It's very strange and I'm not sure if this a glitch or if anyone else is experiencing this or not. Otherwise great game, I haven't had any freeze ups or lag(other than the countdown timer).

No crashes here, part of me also desperately wants map packs or a texture editor. Allowing us to create our own skins.

Been an awesome game so far as I have also not had any issues. The online runs at a beautifully perfect 60 fps constantly. This game is butter!

anyone actually good at this game WITHOUT pilot assist turned on. It's so freaking difficult! I just use it as a tech demo. I suck. I probably played for 4 hours straight last night, and just when i thought i was getting better, i forgot that i left "pilot assist" on. If only I were a hacker.

It did crash on me once online, but i only have like 2 friends. I think it's just a lil glitch they'll eventually patch. Don't really care that much cause I SUCK! Amazing graphics, though.

I've had no problems with this game. The online for this game has an amazing feature set. Heck, it's better than anything on 360. The way the server list and lobby system works is a dream.

WEll....it's definitely crashed on me 2X in ONLINE Games only when connecting to a game.

Still a great game....

By the way...I'm getting really sick of this PUSH TO TALK on PSN....just let people talk while they play for goddsakes and offer them a mute button.

Both :D

But get Burnout in store second hand if money is an issue. They are both excellent games, so you won't go wrong with either if you decide to only get one.

Noooo, don't give Gamestop more money, give it to the developers who deserve it for giving us a year of free content.
Burnout is right there on the PSN now, just as cheap as 2nd would be.
Always handy to have on the drive too for quick bootups now.

98 friends, crashes a treat for me :(

Same happened when TF2 ( orange box ) was released earlier in the year, that was patched.

Cracking game, smooth and graphically stunning game. No LBP beater though which is just incredible. I suspect this could be a good xmas for PS3 this year.
