Questions about WipeoutHD
« on: April 18, 2010, 03:44:30 PM »
What's the difference between WipeoutHD full game and WipeoutHD bundle?  Also, how the fuck do you download the game after buying it?  Sony has the most asinine system of handling downloadable content. 


It gives me a demo unlock code even though I don't have the demo and can't download the demo now that it's been purchsed. WTF !!!  :maf

First the God of War 3 promo code bullshit and now this.  That's the last time I'm buying anything from PSN.

Uh, doesn't it just download after you purchase it? That's how all of my psn downloading has been done at least.

The difference between the bundle and the vanilla game is the Fury add-on, which adds tracks, suped configs for all the ships (and additional skins) and more modes, the soundtrack was also expanded. The add-on is really good, I do recommend it fully.

It just downloads a demo unlocker which is less than 1 mb.  I just went through my download history and redownloaded the demo from there.  I'm guessing it'll probably work now but what a hassle.

I've noticed this lately with a few things. It's pretty funny, have to download the demo then buy the unlock key or vice versa. Not hard though, and fairly obvious to anyone with a shred of commonsense.

True but that attitude is why Sony has lost so much market share.

What attitude? That obvious things are obvious or would that be the arrogance? Confused. I would say their market share loss is due to lack of games, price and coming out second... Attitude  :lol. Nobody would care if the system was great.

The majority of Sony's success has always been due to their large amount of mainstream users.  Those are people who don't even know that composite cables aren't capable of outputting HD.  Forgetting that fact is a major reason why they're in their current hole.  So yeah, arrogance. 

You have to go for the bundle, which has the Fury expansion (made the game much more than an HD remake).
I agree with how stupid of selling keys without the game file (in this case: demo). However purchasing Fury should download the 700mb file since it's a DLC. You can easily locate the demo by going to "games">PS3 games or PSN exclusives (can't remember), then navigate from there to the game folder which should list everything related to it in one place (trailers, themes, demo, dlc, etc); way better than looking for it through your download list, no?

That makes a lot of sense which is probably why Sony didn't allow things to work out like that.  As soon as I purchased the game, the demo was no longer available from the marketplace.  They just assumed that yon won't need the demo once you've bought the game.
