I dunno, considering the several millions of P3s there are out there, 150,000 copies of what is a major brand is not very good at all. It’s about 1 in 10,000 PS3 owners or thereabouts.

Not very good really.

“‘We didn’t sell as many as we’d have hoped’?”

That’s just a bit cynical. The game’s leaderboards have well over 150,000 names on it, which, considering its a digital download, should be a decent indicator of sales.

Damn good game too.

Yes, it’s cheaper at the moment innit? I noticed the other day that it was showing as less than I paid for it.

Looking forward to some dlc in the new year too, we hope.

“…reduced price *until* January 8th 2009.” It’s reduced UNTIL Jan 8th, not FROM Jan 8th as in your summary above.

Post release demo = ‘We didn’t sell as many as we’d have hoped’? Or is that just a bit cynical?

I love Wipeout HD but if you’ve already played Pulse and Pure to death it does get a bit samey.

Its crying out for some DLC now. Though not the extortionate shit they tried to pull with Pulse.

Ah fuck it all. I bought it the other day thinking the price would go up if anything. Piss it.
