PAIN On Blu-Ray Disc

Nice, when is WipEout coming on BD?

nice to see u supporting the people who can not buy games from the psn store the game might now see a bigger audance

awesome, which characters will be included with the disc? Just the ones mentioned or all of them?

Did not like Pain at all. At least I got it for free…

Nice idea, but I already bought PAIN when it was on sale over Christmas, although it this is probably a better value way of getting all the expansion packs included for those that haven’t tried it yet.

To be honest I think it’s the sort of game that suits being on the HDD, it’s not something I can imagine playing when I was looking for a disc based game to load. But I know some people don’t like digital content or can’t even access it if they don’t have a credit card or live in Hungary etc so it’s good that more people will have the opportunity to play it.

P.S. Shouldn’t the title read “PAIN On Blu-ray Disc”? – Disk = Magnetic Media like Floppy Disk, Disc = Optical Media like Blu-ray Disc…

RRP in AUD?
You really need to start including this in ALL eligible posts.

I loved PAIN to bits!
I’ve only bought the main game though, so I might buy the Blu-Ray version of the game for the DLC.

It’s especially great fun with friends so this would be handy to take around with you to your friend’s house.

was hoping this wouldve been max payne

Great idea Joey….i had the idea to buy it on the store,now i’ll wait for the Bluray to come out! 25€ is a great price!!!

good idea in principle, but itll bump the price up of the game, so could be bad in some ways too.

Never a fan of the sillyness of pain, not my cuppa.

Any chance of some tools for user created content, LittleBIGPlanet style?

Good news! I’ve held off buying this game since I was waiting for an all-in-one package like this (either download or disc). Having it on disc is ideal as I’m sure the online retailers will discount it before long (and I couldn’t see that happening all the time the PlayStation store had it as an exclusive).

If it’s a blu-ray release, will it have a platinum trophy? Will the PSN version feature a platinum trophy?

maniulo: According to the PAIN crew there’s no plat for this as it doesn’t fall under “bluray” game internally or some paperwork kind of thing like that.

Great news, this sure is tempting to pick up! Awesome to release it on Blu-Ray since I and a lot of folks don’t have a Credit Card so this way we can finally expierence Pain and it’s difficult trophies !

@ Joey Payne – As this is a retail package now, will a platinum trophy be added as required for all retail games.

Hey Joey,
Great that it’s coming to blu-ray so everyone can play it
But I have oné question!
Here in The Netherlands every webshop and retailer is saying that Sony gives Pain an price tag from €29,99. IS it a mistake in your blogg post (€24,99) or do we have to pay a little more in The Netherlands?

Thanks

Does it need installing? i really need the memory.

This is great news! I hope this happens with more lovely PSN games so that our HDD doesn’t get even fuller (only 500mb left here, looking for new one). This would be good with Wipeout + Fury expansion as well as the whole PixelJunk serie when Shooter comes out.

im also wondering if this will now come with a platinum trophy, will it?

For people with no creditcard is this great news!!!
I have a creditcard but the people don’t have one or they’re under 18, is no availability of Playstation Network cards a huge leak…

@ last! I can finally purchase it!!

great news as I don’t have a credit card its quite annoying to see so many great things only on psn, I hope this means more of this stuff will come out on disc….

ff7 lol

I regret paying for this game… =(

Awesome idea guys. Hope it sells well

I think releasing WipEout HD on BD would be a better idea.

Good idea
Chuck on Wipeout and the Pixeljunk games and sell it for £40, easy money

Why not the Hoff? He’s the Hoff!

It’s like Knight Rider without the Hoff! Baywatch without the Hoff!

HOFF WITHOUT THE HOFF!

hi i searched this game up on disc and i found it on play.com wll it be in game like R&CQ4B?

Your trophies are TOO HARD

yowsa..its £17.99 on play.com, well preordered now along with a Monster Hunter Freedom Unite PSP 3000 bundle, ooohh next week is gonna be so cool….I am glad they did this…I dont like digital downloads ( I own a 360 too and see that GTA4 DLC is coming to disc so will be picking that instead of downloading, I downloaded Op anchorage for Fallout 3 so I am bit annoyed as its coming to disc too) I prefer physical media…Wipeout HD would be great, I got a PSP 2000 (for my son) and got Wipeout Pulse today and that rocks…so been thinking about the HD download, think I will hang on, they might put it out on BD, yowsa…:)

Hi Mr “Payne” [:)],

I hope the release of the title as a physical product is not the end of the development, but a revenue-generating device for further improvements & enhancements.

How about a Special Edition with a bundled Jarvis figurine, or an audio CD of Chuck Carr’s Theme Tune, or even the numerous PS3 Themes also available from the PlayStation Store?

Please could you confirm the content of the Blu-ray disc edition, and how this compares to what I have already downloaded?

I would not begrudge supporting the product further to allow me to easily move my ‘investment’ between PS3 consoles, but I was just curious what was actually going to be included & playable directly from a disc-based version.

Thank you for your time.

Congratz on making your way to a disc. I’m sure there is a bunch of kids waiting to get this game. Some children without techsavy parents don’t connect the ps3 to the internet, even less willing to flip out their credit card and pay online.

Sweet this BLUE-RAY trend should continue. It’s going the right way.
Many people as you know couldn’t purchase PSN content just because they didn’t had a creditcard.

Finally people in the EU the Biggest market for ps3 as for now, can purchase this fine content!

Keep it up SONY!

Thanks Joey! I’ve been wanting to buy the DLC for some time now, but now I can just get it all in one disc.

will there be a complete pack with everything included on the PSN too?

…. im not sure whether to be really happy, or really ticked off, i would much rather this on disc to save a lot of memory, but ive bought Pain a looong time ago, and have had the expansions and characters (not all)…..so no hope of me getting any money back

This is great news.

I’m totally buying it, if only as a “travel” version as none of my friends have all the addons while I simply buy anything pain related, no questions asked.

Hi Joey,

For a long time now I have been really interested in this title, however since it is a rather unique concept and one-of-a-kind I am not entirely sure if it is my thing. Is there any chance that you could release a PSN playable demo around the same time as the Blu-ray release so that users like me can get a feel for the gameplay before potentially buying the full game? It would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Daniel.

Can you leak the front-cover & back-cover of the Blu-ray Disc box, please?

Hi guys,

Many thanks for releasing it on disk, cause there is no PS Store in Hungary right now. Can’t wait to play the game! By the way, it WILL be released in Hungary (you know, the little country with huge plains and goulash soup in Central Europe), won’t it?

Many thanks again,

Roky

Just got it and it requires a 1gb install, which is annoying as to have it downloaded from the PSN store is also about 1gb. So no luck with freeing up hard disc space! I suppose the only advantage is that it’s marginally quicker and easier to install it from the disc than it is to download it.
