European PSN releases for September 25th

by Jem Alexander { Sep 25th 2008 at 10:47AM }

Are you ready for the best PSN update you've ever seen? Until the US update occurs later today, that is. We had no idea it was coming to Europe, but Burnout Paradise is now available at the ridiculously affordable price of £25/€30. Definitely worth picking up if you don't have it, especially after today's trophy patch. WipEout HD makes its triumphant debut today as well, alongside Mega Man 9 and two Burnout titles for the PSP. Blimey. There are also more demos, add ons, videos and themes (including a Bioshock one which we're looking forward to seeing). Stop reading this blurb and check out the full list of content:

Yeah! PSP love!

stargateheaven @ Sep 25th 2008 10:53AM

p.s MGS4 trailer...why?

Harvey @ Sep 25th 2008 10:54AM

Is Burnout worth buying? I ask this from both a money and trophy perspective.

I enjoy playing games offline to be honest, this is mainly due to a time issue. Playing online can get pretty hard for me.

Are the trophies tough to obtain online? About how much time do you have to spend online to get trophies?

Nice update :)

Tim Parsons @ Sep 25th 2008 11:05AM

hell yeah,. is it worth playing through a 2nd time for those who had it prior to trophies just to get the trophies,. maybe but too pissed to bother

djhsecondnature @ Sep 25th 2008 11:06AM

YES!

adolson @ Sep 25th 2008 11:08AM

It's an excellent game, and I don't really like racing games at all.. $30 is a steal, but that's the price for the disc version too.. I prefer discs, myself. But anyhow, the online is seamless - you can be playing offline, then with a couple button presses, you're in a game with friends or random people, instantly. It's really quite good. I don't know about the trophies yet, since they just came out.

lobotomies4free @ Sep 25th 2008 11:19AM

It's also great for people that don't do much online because the online is very layed back. it's much more like hanging out and messing around online than pure hardcore racing. great way to meet people

stargateheaven @ Sep 25th 2008 2:12PM

i reccomend buying the retail version if you find it cheap. the retail version doesnt have to install either :D

PSN ID -- TheUnforgivenII @ Sep 25th 2008 2:46PM

It's awesome, a must-buy even when it was without Trophy support!

WipEout HD only 18 euros? Wah!

Archon @ Sep 25th 2008 10:56AM

Wow... This means that Mega Man is exclusive for PS3 in Europe at the moment. That's cool. (Couldn't find on the UK Wii channel yet and the X360 version comes out on the 1st.)

Wraithen @ Sep 25th 2008 10:58AM

W00T lol finally an awesome euro upd8

Sound_of_snow @ Sep 25th 2008 11:02AM

Woah Awesum Update :D, downloading Wipeout Right now Woop :). think ill just buy burnout on disc from play.com thou its the same price n my harddrives way to packed already for another big download lol

heypaul @ Sep 25th 2008 11:38AM

Snow (or anyone else), how big is Wipeout? Hope it doesn't take up too much space on my 60 gigger.

Also, how big is Megaman/Megaman demo? I'm curious as to whether the size is comparable to an NES ROM, or whether it's bloated from modern programming.

Last, anyone know whether the disc version of Burnout requires an install?

Stoo @ Sep 25th 2008 1:05PM

WipEout HD comes in at just under 1Gb.

jaffa @ Sep 25th 2008 11:03AM

What are Rush - Moving Pictures? I've never heard of them!

tdrules @ Sep 25th 2008 12:38PM

youve never heard of rush?
theyre music pioneers
not a fan but i know theyve been very innovative in all instruments, good thing theyre on rock band

spikeylee @ Sep 25th 2008 11:24AM

Rush is a prog rock group, and Moving Pictures is one of their albums. Huge in the 70s and 80s. Very influential. Geddy Lee looks kinda creepy.

They've had a couple of songs in Rock Band and previous Guitar Hero's.

jaffa @ Sep 25th 2008 12:41PM

Oh, ok thanks a lot!

brandonshark @ Sep 25th 2008 11:06AM

deaftly @ Sep 25th 2008 1:25PM

cats should not be playing video games to begin with

Rasti @ Sep 25th 2008 11:06AM

Megaman is not demo, it's the full game!

stargateheaven @ Sep 25th 2008 11:06AM

Holy shit. SCEE did an amazing update. I checked the store and was gobsmacked. Came to tip ps3fanboy but i see you already.. saw :D

thefantasyboy @ Sep 25th 2008 11:07AM

Really nice update... Does anyone know the size of Burnout Paradise btw?

Livi70590 @ Sep 25th 2008 1:40PM

3.3 GB.

Steve @ Sep 25th 2008 11:12AM

Yeah my little 40GB HD is starting to feel a bit cramped.

Echnaton @ Sep 25th 2008 11:13AM

Great Sony!

Big thanks to sony switzerland for the free hardware-replacement! ( even it's only the hd-enclosure ;-) )

Eggy @ Sep 25th 2008 11:14AM

Since when does 12 quid turn into 18 euros? I know we already pay more than the yanks for 95% of our games but this big a difference between european countries only a few hundred km apart?

Gaucho @ Sep 25th 2008 11:17AM

SOOOO STUPID!! where is PES 09 demo!?! I thought it was going to be last week now its not even this week.

k3mtrick @ Sep 25th 2008 11:25AM

How big is the Wipeout download?

sw @ Sep 25th 2008 11:59AM

998 MB

Bear @ Sep 25th 2008 11:25AM

I'm from Europe, but I prefer to be loyal to the american store. Waiting for WipEout HD now. :(

kill00 @ Sep 25th 2008 11:29AM

Do you know what time does the US store update usually?

Bear @ Sep 25th 2008 11:46AM

Looks like it is at least 4 hours after. So you have time to make a nice dinner for you and your friend, do some work-out and come back to see WipEout HD on you American PS Store :)

Vincent @ Sep 25th 2008 3:24PM

How are you purchasing off the American Store now that they blocked entropay? o.o

Brute @ Sep 25th 2008 11:25AM

THIS IS MADNESS!

pat1202003 @ Sep 25th 2008 11:36AM

Madness? THIS IS AWESOME!!!

I.AM.IRON.MAN @ Sep 25th 2008 11:29AM

Brilliant update, can't wait to see the Fallout theme!

Bit surprised at burnout's price, much cheaper to buy second blu-ray...

Now, do i DL the Mercs demo first or get straight into playing wipeout? hmm...

I.AM.IRON.MAN @ Sep 25th 2008 11:32AM

oopps... second HAND blu-ray...

Nash @ Sep 25th 2008 11:31AM

Whats the Poker add on 2? Is that only new in Europe? Haven't heard anything about it.

Bound @ Sep 25th 2008 11:35AM

err the Irish store is only showing the 2 burnout games for the PSP.... no other new content. Is the update fully live??

KiljoyMcCoy @ Sep 25th 2008 11:36AM

errrrrrr cant wait for wipeout hd
they need to update the American store in the morning make it allot better for us waiting on a game for over a year to finally get it cant wait

Woz @ Sep 25th 2008 11:42AM

The Rush DLC for RB would have been good enough for me, but damn, I'm going broke today

sw @ Sep 25th 2008 11:43AM

Just completed the Mega Man demo. Frig! That is a hard game.

Whoppy @ Sep 25th 2008 11:44AM

First thing I did when I got home was order WipeoutHD. Downloading now, going to lube my wrists up in preparation.

master811 @ Sep 25th 2008 11:46AM

Ugh what a complete rip-off Burnout is, the US store its $30, and here its £25!!!!! It should be £20 at the absolute maximum and really closer to £17.

No thanks, I'll just get the disc version as you can get it new for £20 now.

Christian @ Sep 25th 2008 12:22PM

Well if you got a friend or two who also wants Burnout Paradise you can install the PSN download up to five times. And thus split the cost between you. This is probably not even against the license of the PSN content as I remember it being promoted as one of the hidden treasures of the PSN Store by the Official Playstation Magazine here in the UK.

Sound_of_snow @ Sep 25th 2008 11:55AM

k3mtrick.. Its about 900mb i think, it looks really stunning :D i just got my first trophie on it wooop lol

Livi70590 @ Sep 25th 2008 12:07PM

Fantastic. But I have no Internets! NOOOOOO!

lee @ Sep 25th 2008 12:33PM

heads up for u american folk

wipeout has a really bad freeezing issue, it locks up ur whole ps3

a TEMP fix for this is to play signed out of the PSN, obviously this means you cant play online

some people on the uk forum have managed to get online working but they where the lucky few
