Wipeout HD Price?

MuGeN · 24 Nov 2008 at 12:03

Is my memory playing up or was WOHD £7.99? I decided to buy it but when i went on its listed at £13.99 :eek:

has the download been upgraded in anyway (more levels or something) since the original release to justify a near double price increase?

It launched at £11.99 and stayed there for around a month, then they chucked it up to that price.

Why? They thought that people would still buy it if they upped the price so they did, it happens all the time in all industries. It's still fantastic value for money.

I must admit though you know... I was on ready to purchase and chose not to at the time while i looked into the price increase and haven't been on since, and also since then i've bought Pro Evo and i'm not entirely sure I will be buying another game for a while so they may have lost out we'll have to see

I dont think they should put prices up, prices should come down if anything...

I can't actually believe that they have put the price up.

I think that basis for price is probably the dollar, so to keep them equivalent they've had to bump up the UK price.
Unless the US price has gone up too?

Well tbh it was very cheap, I'd honestly say it was under priced tbh, I was expecting it to be £25/30, and as 'mcwildcard' said, it could be priced relative to the dollar, either way it's still bargain for what your getting.

hmmmm you guys may have convinced me to get this, is it a full game in its own right or more of a prequel to a full game kinda like GT5 prologue?

ignore

I was wondering that... never really looked into it properly but always assumed it was not a full blown new wipeout...

It's a full game using the best tracks from Wipeout Pure (PSP) and Wipeout Pulse (PSP) plus with some new added features, it's not really an official new Wipeout game as such, by that I mean it's not really a follow on in the series of Wipeout games, but, it is well worth it, it has more than enough content in my eyes to of went on the shelf for £29.99 and I honestly think it would have sold well at that price as well, I would have loved to of got my hands of a blu-ray version.
