    Are there anyway I could buy PSN credit without Entropay as I want to stick with USA account. But I can't use my credit card as I used Cleveland Brown Stadium for location

      $20 in the US, for those that will be picking it up from their PSN.

      (though the game is done -- and has been done for a little while now -- we'll just have to wait until Sony decides to drop it on PSN in the coming weeks/months)
      Does not compute.

      EDIT: Et super smooth footáge. (Zone is going to burn retinas)

        Apparently Zone Mode have been toned down, presumably that was the cause for the test failure. The track textures and background no longer change with the beat.

          I think toned down is a bit of an understatement as they've really stripped away a lot of it if you look at an earlier video.

          I'm annoyed that they've had to do that as I loved the way it was treated and I do feel it's lost a little something in Zone Mode now.

          Mind you, looking back through this thread I day say when seizures were mentioned that I could only see them being a problem in that mode so I'm not exactly surprised.

            I'll miss it, but it's not worth the risk.

              I prefer the new look, the original was far too busy, considering that just a few laps in your travelling at mach 3...just too much going on.

                The new version of Zone looks bland in comparison to the original which is a great shame.
                Why can't they have an option in game to have the proper version and give warnings etc. to those who it could effect, rather than ruining it for 95% of the players?

                  True. I think it would have been nice to has an option to turn it on or off. Personaly i'd have it on, it did make the game look sexy as hell!

                    I really think it's a loss to see it go as it had the feel of something like Rez in first person mode. It would have got in the standard racing but for this it seemed ideal

                    If it was removed due to people having seizures then it's unlikely that they'd leave it in as an option as somebody would inevitably manage to somehow kill themselves with it and their parents would also inevitably have read online that Sony was aware of the problem.

                      That wouldn't make any difference. Someone would still have a fit, then sue - "it failed the seizure test, it shouldn't have been released regardless of the warning I agreed to before playing!". You know that would happen. Legally you have to cover yourself.

                      Don't forget, there will be people who may have seizures with no previous history of such episodes.

                      They have to play it safe.

                      It won't really affect the game, Zone is an addition. And at £12 you can't complain

                        It does make you wonder how games like rez and other "flashy" games make it onto the shelves?!

                          Does everything go through this testing? Wipeout looks more intense than Rez, the speed and pulsing are faster, maybe that's why??

                            they have ruined it for me, looks totally different now......cant see it being any different, more dangerous than any other game.

                            Totally ridiculous IMO.

                              OMG it's ruined! It hardly a massive departure, just less busy in the peripheral scenery. The track actually looks pretty much the same and still features all the same graphical elements. Also I don't remember it being confirmed that the Zone mode that was causing fits? If anything it was more than likely the striped edges of the track strobing at high speeds, which now looks to have been contained behind some motion blur. Total overreaction if you ask me, anyone would think it's the main mode of the game.

                                The thing is, it's not really open to opinions or interpretations. It failed an important test, which is [hopefully!] based on science.

                                Am I the only one glad that measures are taken to reduce possible seizures in games?
