Sony Australia officially announce the release of the first 3D game experiences for the Playstation 3. The stereoscopic 3D Collection includes PS3 classics WipEout HD, SuperStardustHD, PAIN, plus an exclusive single level demo of MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. Full details inside.
"Spring Fever continues this week on the Playstation Store with WipEout HD on sale for 50%. WipEout HD is going to be one of the first games that supports 3D when the PS3 firmware update is released in June. WipEout HD is a great game whether its in 3D or not so this next week will be a good time to pick the game up if you're interested in it."
"The much hyped update that will enable the Playstation 3 to play games in 3D is coming this June alongside the launch of Sony's 3D HDTV line-up. The first set will be the HX803 3D TV. As a bonus, people who purchase the HX803 will get vouchers for four 3D capable PS3 games."
"A recent episode of Qore on the Playstation Network revealed that a number of existing games such as Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Gran Turismo 5, and Wipeout HD would be getting the 3D treatment. However, Sony has recently issued a "clarification" according to the site that originally posted the story, The Gamer Access."
"Previously available via PlayStation Network only, the game will retail for approximately £19.99 GBP and ships on a single disc complete with the Fury downloadable content pack. Just in case you're unfamiliar with the expansion, Fury throws in 12 new tracks, 13 additional ships, six new music tracks, redesigned menu, a new campaign plus extra Trophies. On top of that, you’ll also get three new race types - Eliminator, Zone Battle and Detonator."
""The ad has been removed from WipEout HD and we are investigating the situation to ensure that any in-game advertising does not affect gameplay," said a spokesperson for the platform holder."
It seems that PSN is getting some ads of its own, the latest WipEout HD brings advertisements during those load screens. The worst part: The ads appear to increase the load times by 10 seconds. Luckily it's not every time you load.
This video shows the load time difference, however, various comments on youtube suggest that the load time is NOT affected, or at least not quite as much.
A look at the newest expansion pack coming to Wipeout HD. Being called Fury the pack will include new tracks, 13 new ship models and 3 new game modes. It is scheduled to be released sometime this Summer.

WipEout HD - the racing game developed by the SCE Studio in Liverpool - has only been out a day, but it's already causing problems. Players have been experiencing freezing PS3s while playing and some can't even get online.
A lot of people are being effected by these bugs, as you can see in this EU PlayStation thread.
CVG noticed that when you start up your WipEoutHD game, that there are some serious health warnings. It warns that if you have epilepsy you shouldn't be playing it, and also to take breaks every 15 minutes. Here is the warning:
"Always play in a well lit environment. Take regular breaks, 15 minutes every hour. Discontinue playing if you experience dizziness, nausea, fatigue or have a headache.
"Some individuals are sensitive to flashing or flickering lights or geometric shapes and patte...
Today is the day the long time favourite Wipeout returns to the Playstation but not without it's problems.
It seems the online element is broken at present due to a bug whereby if you have more then 50 friends on your friend list the game freezes when you attempt to play online. The solution is simple, either don't play online or delete your friends.
Hopefully a patch will fix this although no word of a patch has been announced yet.

Sony has announced that its latest racing effort Wipeout HD will be released for download in two weeks time on September 25th via the Playstation Network. The title will be sold at a $19.99 clip.

According to him, the three major goals for the year are to provide the best free online gaming possible, providing 'digital media download services', and providing 'original content'.

"With Sony's press conference in the past, we've created a roundup of all the small, but significant, announcements and confirmations. This year, Sony allowed very little time for the audience to ponder and absorb, so a lot of the groundbreaking revelations were not emphasised. This was of course a good thing, as it showed that Sony had a lot of things to say. So aside from the major announcements, such as MGS4, Haze and UT3 exclusivity, here are the other tidbits:
- 200 games on Blu-ray an..."
"During the last few weeks, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has been showcasing Wipeout Pulse the European gaming press at it's PlayStation-branded loft in London. While the PSP sequel was the focus of the event, questions about Wipeout PlayStation 3 were inevitable -- Sony's Liverpool studio director Clemens Wangerin confirmed the game in a recent issue of Develop magazine -- so we asked Game Director Tony Buckley for more details.
Understandably, Buckley wasn't too forthcoming, but con..."
