Wipeout HD confirmed for Blu-ray

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has announced that Wipeout HD, the PlayStation 3 version of the anti-gravity racing classic, will be released on Blu-Ray disc. Previously only available as a download, this tripped-out fusion of racing and shooting gameplay will soon be accessible to PS3 owners who are not connected to the internet, along with those who fear the volatile nature of volatile media.

The game disc will include Wipeout HD and the Fury expansion pack, making for a total of 14 tracks and 12 racing teams. Up to eight players can compete online.

The Wipeout HD Blu-ray will go on-sale in Europe on October 16. The game will presumably be released in Australia and New Zealand on or around the same time, though as of this writing no-one at SCE Australia was able to confirm or deny a local release.
