As you may remember, the game is currently just available in a $60 retail package with a headset or in a $40 downloadable form. Though the GameStop listing that originally started this story puts the game at an Oct. 10 release date, Sony has not confirmed that part of the story. We're not going to try to understand the logic behind this SKU, though we wouldn't be surprised if it's (in part) a bit of retailer placation. That's right game store, you're not threatened at all by full, downloadable games that don't even require people to get off their couches. Just go back to sleep, pumpkin.

When you buy the retail version, you can always sell it down the road. Can't do that with the online version.
I just bought this game, from Gamefly....it was dirt cheap with headset. This game kicks major ass. What a fun game. If you like multiplayer action, this is for you. Some of those guys on the ranked servers are BRUTAL.
If you can back up downloaded stuff, why not.

the online ranking system in this game is still whack. i have like 3,000 points, but i am a "2nd lieutenant" class (which requires 35,000 and some other stuff). doesn't make sense, but i'm not complaining. besides, the gameplay is fast, hectic, and epic. best online battles since 4v4 BGH on the old skool computer.

I even skipped a couple :)
Also BBQ.
That said, I would have like some downloadable instructions or something because getting my BT headset to work was a bitch (you have to enable it under Audio Settings in the XMB after pairing it).
I felt like a sucker after getting the PS3 until this came out (though I got it after the price drop, so it wasn't that long). Seriously, if you own a PS3, get this game!

And jews did 9/11 right?
Either buy a 360 and play it, or stop talking about it.
You are just making yourself look bad.

"Wark"hawk? Is this a tie-in with Final Fantasy? Flying through the skies on a chocobo, shooting Firagas at airships and ground troops?
...
That actually sounds hella awesome.

My take on this is that I almost wish I had bought the downloadable version, as it would always be on the harddrive, and I wouldn't have to keep the Warhawk disk in the drive. Not that I really mind; the game is great and it's all I'm playing on the PS3 right now.

Come to think of it, is that picture even related to WarHawk, let alone not being in-game?

By "girl" they mean that fat douchebag trying to convince you to buy a game without a case or instruction booklet for five dollars less than a factory-sealed game.

"Pussy is pussy".
And come on, it's not like you needed a PhD to work there.
I want Warhawk,but not at this moment (TF2 coming out) and would like to get it with a headset since I currently down have one.

Suffice to say....WARHAWK = Battlefield Lite (or better BATTLEFIELD for Dummies).
I was severely disappointed by this game to say the least. It is not a true sequel to the WARHAWK for PS1 that I loved so.
Not to mention it could have the WORST matchmaking system in history.....and its very rare that people actually act as a team and tend to just run around and do there own thing.
If you want a more entertaining game....I suggest picking up BATTLEFIELD: MODERN COMBAT for XBOX, PS2 or BATTLEFIELD 2 or BATTLEFIELD 2142 for PC. You'll not only save money...you'll be playing a better game for much longer than the experience that is WARHAWK on PS3.
