I always preferred F-Zero though.
My wallet is moaning in pain.

I am importing my 2097 soundtrack in anticipation of release.

Spoilered for OMGHUGE
and a nice hype up frome somebody that's played it:
If I don't have a minor seizure with 61" of 1080p WipeOut raping my retinas, I'll be a little disappointed, honestly.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
I can't wait.
On the subject, does anyone know if LittleBigPlanet runs in 1080p?

Negative - 720p and 30fps with lots of fancy bits (depth of field, motion blur, HDR)

Also I can't begin to imagine how good this is going to look on my 42 inch Panasonic 1080p Plasma.

And slightly off topic... Is there a list anywhere of PS3 games that do run in 1080p?
My 360 has spoiled me.
Sets made in Canada come with 100 hours of break in already done in the factory (I confirmed this directly with Panasonic Canada). For that reason I didn't bother with the traditional break in period I'd normally do with a new plasma.
The first month or so I was fairly careful, now I play for hours without any worry at all. Occasionally I'll get image retention from static huds if I'm playing for hours (the top hud in Warhawk causes this sometimes, as does Catan), but flipping to HD Discovery channel washes any image retention away within seconds.
I consider myself to just take the same reasonable precautions any plasma owner would do ... if I'm watching a program for several hours and it has a static colour station logo, then I may flip the channel for a few minutes, that sort of thing. Basically I've had no problems at all and the set itself is the best I've ever owned.
I've got the Panasonic 42PZ77U ... antiglare works like a charm, picture is breathtaking in full 1080p with blu ray's. Hell even regular DVD's look amazing, the PS3 is upscales far better than the 360. When my buddies come over to watch football or hockey they are blown away by the pic quality ... I love Plasma TV's I'm really glad I went plasma instead of LCD. I owned CRT before this, and I feel Plasma is alot closer to the CRT experience than LCD.
It's amazing really how many people have good sets but don't have them set up properly, using composite cable haha, not upgrading to HD cable (they THINK they are getting HD while watching regular cable haha), and not having the proper audio/visual equipment to really get the most out of their purchase.
Anyways not meaning to hijack my own thread :P
I think Wipeout HD is going to be the game to really show off 1080p gaming. If Sony's smart they might consider making a Wipeout HD console pack in the future ... honestly from what I've seen I think this game could be a system seller for alot of people.
I think I'll try the motion controls for this game. The hover/floatyness of wipeout seems like it could be a good fit. (I really liked using the motion controls for the boat and helicopters in GTAIV)
Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....

FUCK THAT.
Corner for crying is over there. ITT we get our eyes raped by 1080p60 visuals and like it.
Edit - And judging by the music feed in your sig, Wipeout is completely not your bag, and piping Nelly Furtado into the background while racing would probably make your PS3 vomit pea soup out of the disc slot.

Read my book. (It has a robot in it.)
Wipeout is completely my bag, actually, and I was quite looking forward to this. But $20 for any remake is highway robbery when something like BC Rearmed is $10.
EDIT: But thanks for being a douche anyway.
$20 is a bargain in my opinion, and I'm sure most would agree.
I'm pretty sure that coding Wipeout HD required a lot more time/effort/art assets/etc than BC:Rearmed.
FakeEDIT: And I still maintain that Wipeout + Nelly Furtado = crime against something but I'm not exactly sure what yet.

I tend to like Wipeout music, in the context of the Wipeout games. If I heard it on the radio or something I'd turn it off, but during gameplay it fits and is fine.
Fair enough.
I still say that $20 is a fair price for this; hold the FUCK THAT in reserve for Gran Turismo 5: Prologue 2: No, Really, We're Going To Release This Game At Some Point.

Yeah, but I don't give two shits about GT. :P
Dude, for twenty dollars this is a fucking steal. They could've charged forty (price of a PSP game) or at least 30, releasing at twenty dollars is a customer courtesy.
BC rearmed comparison doesn't really make sense considering development times and visual value don't really match up. Wipeout HD is on a completely different level. Sorry things that cost a lot of money to make cost more than ten dollars, but before Digital Distribution the absolute minimum this game would be released at is 40.
Anyway, really looking forward to this. I've been considering selling my PS3 (I just don't really use it, like, ever) but this is something that's made me want to hold onto it. Looking forward to learning Sixaxis controls.
Yeah, only a publisher the size of Capcom could have put it out at that price, and they probably wrote off some of the costs as marketing for "Bionic Commando".
:edit: aha! A trial! How novel!

Considering the average geek shirt is say $35, a pitcher of (good) beer can go from $18-25, or that a single meal at Popeyes can run up to $10, bringing a game that features silky-smooth 1080p visuals at 60fps to an audience that may not have bought the PSP original, or may not have had the experience of playing a Wipeout game before (me) and charging a paltry 20 bucks? I mean, really dude.
Factor in the cost of QA-testing/coding/project management/art assets etc., and the billions of little fuckers involved in the middle-management of anytype of game development, and $20 sounds positively delicious.
I blow far more than twenty bucks on an average workday on disposable, single-use services (car wash, lunch, toll, parking, coffee, groceries) and here's a game with ridiculous replayability and "value" (whatever that term means in a post XBLA/PSN world) and people still gripe?
AND DOH: Beck beat me to this.
A cool 1up Show preview from April.
