Warhawk is downloadable at 12:01AM EST tonight

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 27th 2007 at 12:30PM }

Synchronize your watches. Warhawk is coming tonight. Midnight, in fact. For those on the East Coast, that means there's less than twelve hours until Warhawk can be purchased from the PlayStation Store. If you're on the West Coast, you'd be able to start downloading and playing before the CSI:Miami plays on CBS.

Those that don't want to pay for a digital download will be able to pick up a $60 retail version (which includes a headset) at select stores tomorrow. See you online! Don't forget to add PSFanboy to your Friends list to play with us tonight and through the coming weeks.

[Thanks, cubex!]

my first first!

i buy the kit tomorow for the headset ;-)

coplice @ Aug 27th 2007 12:40PM

fuck you lol

Ali @ Aug 27th 2007 12:42PM

Not if you live in Europe where you will need to wait till Thursday to buy the game on the Network and the middle of September to get it a retail.

Popfrogs @ Aug 27th 2007 12:43PM

#2: You fail at first.

Anyway I'm torn. Do I go buy the el cheapo Jabra BT headset and download Warhawk tonight? Or wait until tomorrow, spend the same amount of money overall, and get retail?

It'd be tight if you could get some online voucher that shows you bought it online and could walk into a retailer tomorrow and pay $20 for the headset and retail packaging. Wishful thinking, I know.

PhillyVu @ Aug 27th 2007 12:51PM

The choice popfrogs is if you already have a bluetooth headset. If not, then it's hard to coordinate and talk to your teammates.

I had that problem in the beta, and would always feel that I was not really apart of the team.

Wait the 9 hours til stores open and get the headset.

nick @ Aug 27th 2007 12:54PM

if you go to this link you can get warhawk for 39.99 canadian at bestbuy canada. it comes with the headset too. What a deal!

Afsheen @ Aug 27th 2007 12:58PM

Can somebody please clear something up for me, I haven't been able to find info on this: What happens to downloaded games if you switch out your hard drive? Will you lose that stuff? Does the backup utility save the games you've downloaded? I want to put in a 120 gig hard drive but am not doing it because I don't want to lose all the games I've paid for.

Popfrogs @ Aug 27th 2007 12:59PM

#7. Well my wife has this same model Jabra headset she uses with her phone sometimes. I can also use it with my SK3. If I want to save $20 I can weasel hers away from her but I want my own anyway.

That settles it, $60 retail, here I come.

DownwardMonkey @ Aug 27th 2007 1:04PM

So... If I open a US account can I... Download this in England?

Andy @ Aug 27th 2007 1:04PM

A fair exchange rate...finally!

Weezy28 @ Aug 27th 2007 1:07PM

Too bad, I am getting the blu-ray version so I can't play it yet.

nick @ Aug 27th 2007 1:08PM

lol #12. go to the bestbuy link i left above and take a look at the price. its cheaper than the PS Store and it comes with the heaset too. i wonder why it is so cheap?

nick @ Aug 27th 2007 1:11PM

if you are going to get Warhawk add my PSN so we can play together. I dont know many peopel who are getting it on the release.

My PSN = Nick_11

EDGE @ Aug 27th 2007 1:15PM

Choices choices, I may be staying up past midnight ;)

apease @ Aug 27th 2007 1:17PM

Showstopper: Are you serious about the 360? Damn, downloadable games are a big part of why I want one... looks like I'm waiting for a while until I can get a version I know isn't defective. How the hell have people let them get away with that?

As for Warhawk, I'm still on the fence... I won't buy it now since I'm going to an anime convention this weekend, but if I was going to play an online game, this might be the game I'd start with. No hope for a demo, I suppose?

mike @ Aug 27th 2007 1:33PM

@DownwardMonkey

Yes you can buy stuff from the US store although you may have to top up you wallet unding $10 additions to get to $40 as sony checks the address against you credit card if you add too much at once ($10 worked for me although various cc companies may be diferent)

I now have $40 in by US PSN wallet ready to buy :-)

coplice @ Aug 27th 2007 1:35PM

nick: bestbuy obviously made an error :p
at futureshop its at $70 like all other ps3 games
close by my home there is a bestbuy 1min on foot away from the futureshop... both sell the same stuff at he same price and i find the display better at futureshop
i usualy go to the one with the empty parking :D

but since i have a $50 ebgames card i will buy it from there XD

Kurac @ Aug 27th 2007 1:51PM

Can't wait until the European release!

Frank Martinez @ Aug 27th 2007 2:02PM

Does anybody know if the Blu-Ray version will have superior graphics compared to the downloadable version?

apease @ Aug 27th 2007 2:03PM

Showstopper, damn, that's weird, it's gone for me too, and I'd just replied too (I KILLED IT, heh). Short version is I think Heavenly Sword has HDR and anti-aliasing, and I'm quite sure Killzone does as it uses an unusual rendering method (that works better with the Cell) that doesn't require gpu support for HDR lighting.

Oh well. Time will tell.

apease @ Aug 27th 2007 2:04PM

Frank Martinez: It's supposed to be the exact same game.

GRANTED @ Aug 27th 2007 2:14PM

warhawk might re-define ps3fanboy.com. think about it--we add each other to friends lists, play online, AND post together. less bickering on the forum? perhaps....... but if i frag one of you, the rest of ps3fanboy is going to know about it haha

mattgreene @ Aug 27th 2007 2:19PM

whoa Sh0wstopper you've clearly been misinformed. If your 360 breaks (as has happened to me) you have to redownload (not rebuy) everything but it is linked to your gamertag not your system, you can download it an infinite number of times but only on the system where your gamertag resides.

EDGE @ Aug 27th 2007 2:28PM

@22

yup, is gone, very very interesting

blk_ball @ Aug 27th 2007 2:47PM

YES!!! Loaded the funds in my account so I'm downloading this sucker tonight!!! Oh, and I'll definitely be adding PSFanboy! I'm Wallguy148!

nick @ Aug 27th 2007 2:49PM

@#20 i dont think it is a mistake. dont forget it is bestbuy canada and i also live in canada and it says 39.99 in the flyer aswell. in the futureshop flyer and on the site it says 69.99. i'm going to check it out tommorow.

Illusion8400 @ Aug 27th 2007 3:01PM

Okay, it seems this is the place to put down your PSN account for Warhawk, since i am at work, anyone please feel free to add me:-)

PSN: Illusion8400

AKozlenok @ Aug 27th 2007 3:09PM

says psfanboy can't have any more friends *tear*

blessedswine @ Aug 27th 2007 3:13PM

my question is if i buy it online can i load it on both my ps3's and play it online on both at the same time, i do have two psn account names.

mattgreene @ Aug 27th 2007 3:29PM

@sh0wstopper

I've lost count, launch from Wal-Mart and I am pretty sure I am in double digits. I have since gotten a warranty from work on my current one which replaced my fried hard drive connection about a month ago and it rattles when it starts up and the disc tray won't open when it is vertical unless I knock the crap out of it. As soon as we clear out the non hdmi units I will once again be starting anew.

mccomber @ Aug 27th 2007 4:09PM

See you all online...

soulscreme @ Aug 27th 2007 4:10PM

Why is everyone talking about loading up your wallet? If you just go to buy it and don't have enough in your wallet, PSN will let you add just the difference. So, if you have $5 in your waller, it will let you add exactly $34.99. And if you have $0 in your wallet, you can pay for it like any other retailer. It's the sweetness. Who needs a friggin' penny in their wallet!?!?

SlavedHeart @ Aug 27th 2007 4:12PM

Frig yeah... gonna download tonight... gonna get my azz whupped by wednesday! Oh Yeah!

Anyone want to take bets on if Warhawk has the same initial issues as Resistance:FOM? User data updates, etc?

Terrence @ Aug 27th 2007 5:02PM

This is unfair to us people who's gonna be buying the retail version. The SHIPPING date is tomorrow, which means it won't be in most stores until Wednesday. And since I work for one of those stores, naturally I want to get my employee discount. But the store doesn't open until 10am, and shipments don't arrive until after 11.

So while most people will be downloading it tonight at midnight and having fun, poor lil' me will be waiting over 35 HOURS, for the UPS guy to arrive at my store on Wednesday morning, all for the sake of an employee discounted Warhawk with a bluetooth. But I was in the beta, and Metroid comes out for Wii tomorrow, so I guess that kinda makes up for it.

Titty Pink @ Aug 27th 2007 5:18PM

You can get a Bluetooth headset on ebay for 20 bucks. I bought a H700 Motorola one for that, new, shipping included. It may be a fake, may not, but it works. Download the damn thing if you can't wait. I know I'll be lined up for it. Just as I start to get decent at R6 Vegas THIS happens.

Terrence @ Aug 27th 2007 5:25PM

It's just.... Y'see, I work at Gamestop, and I'm kind of poor right now. So I really don't have any choice but to trade in some old games and get my employee discount to be able to afford the game. :(
Rest assured, I'll be owning online soon enough. If you weren't in the beta, believe me, Halo 3 ain't got nothin on Warhawk (my personal opinion).

Terrence @ Aug 27th 2007 5:28PM

Let me re-state that. MY PERSONAL OPINION about Warhawk being more fun that Halo. I played the beta for both and thats just how I feel, Halo 3 = Halo 2 in 1080p. I know this is PS3 fanboy but I'm just used to getting flamed whenever I voice my opinion about games.

Popfrogs @ Aug 27th 2007 6:21PM

Terrence: A Gamestop employee that owns a PS3? Better not let your boss hear that or you're fired.

Leo @ Aug 27th 2007 6:35PM

Can't wait for Warhawk. My BestBuy add said that they should have it by 2PM tomorrow unless there's a "delay by the manufacturer". Also, add me.

phhowell @ Aug 27th 2007 6:46PM

Definitely visiting the Playstation store at midnight :D

Sam @ Aug 27th 2007 6:49PM

@Showstopper

My xbox got a RROD and all my games were downloadable for free when i logged into my gamertag on my brand new console.

Dont spread such silly lies just because you're an idiot and you failed to understand the system.

You dont have to buy the games again.

Oh...and i still have to wait until thursday for warhawk ¬_¬

/sigh Europe.

Michcool125 @ Aug 27th 2007 7:20PM

I hope this game doesn't have the packet problems like Resistance had. Hopefully that massive PS3 server cluster will fix that!

PSN= Michcool125 cya guys there!

Psfanboy @ Aug 27th 2007 7:29PM

yo nick,you were right i just called best buy and the game will be 39.99 till thursday.

Mikor @ Aug 27th 2007 9:06PM

Can't add PSFanboy - list is full. If you folks would like to play some Warhawk tonight/tomorrow/etc, add Mikor to your friends list.

Ramblinflyer @ Aug 27th 2007 10:05PM

I got college in the morning so unless its done dl by 2 meet all yall tomorrow night

Metoo @ Aug 27th 2007 11:17PM

I'll probably buy the PS Store version.

I don't need the headset because I don't want to talk to or hear nasally-sounding teenagers, I just want to blast their virtual soldiers away!

It's easier to deal with no disc anyway. I'd be more apt to buy full games over the PS Store rather than Blu-ray games, but I wonder if you can sell it if you get bored with it?
