Why not? PSN gets updated and they release software on Thursdays.

If the rumor was for coral starting on the 9th that's not possible, as the 9th is a thursday, coral starts on a friday. Anyways BF's twitter announced its July 9th this morning, I laughed because we leaked that date over 4 days ago. They were just trying to blow it off like I thought, as for it stole some thunder from the uncovering of the release date.

Full Press Release, showing the early leak was correct.

FIGHT ON LAND, SEA OR AIR IN BATTLEFIELD 1943 ON JULY 9
Kick off the summer with the must-have downloadable game for only £9.99/1200 MS Points

Guildford, UK – July 2, 2009 – DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced that Battlefield 1943™ will be available on July 8th on Xbox LIVE™ Marketplace and July 9th on the PlayStation®Network. Battlefield 1943 is an all-new download-only action game that brings DICE’s first-class vehicular warfare to gamers for just £9.99, or 1200 MS Points.

Battlefield 1943 is a critically acclaimed First-Person Shooter (FPS) multiplayer game that puts players in the middle of a dogfight on land, sea or in the skies. The game introduces two thrilling new modes that can be played across four classic Battlefield tropical WWII maps: Wake Island, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and Coral Sea. These maps are inspired by the award winning Battlefield 1942™ game, but have been redesigned and reengineered using the DICE destructible Frostbite™ engine which takes down walls, blockades and cover spots, leaving players with almost nowhere to hide. The game delivers endless hours of social online gameplay for extraordinary value.

The Coral Sea map will be unlocked as part of a worldwide community challenge, where players will work together to reach 43million kills on both Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network. To help gamers reach that goal, up to 24 players can play together online in countless matches. They will have the freedom to compete by land, air and sea as either the US Marines or the Imperial Japanese Navy. Whether they choose to play the role of a rifleman crawling through the trenches, a steel-fisted tank commander, or a dog fighting ace pilot, gamers will have the power to rule the battlefield.

“Battlefield 1943 is going to change consumer expectations of what a downloadable game can be. By offering Frostbite’s next generation destruction technology with a full Vehicle Warfare FPS multiplayer experience at a mere 560MB, Battlefield 1943 sets a new standard,” said Gordon Van Dyke, Producer on Battlefield 1943. “Our goal is to blow people away with a fully accessible, retail-calibre game for veteran Battlefield fans and shooter fans alike to enjoy for only £9.99.”

The game will be available on the PC in September.

I guess there way around this tho, is shouldnt they be able to do more trophies when they release DLC? Doesnt x360 get more achievements with DLC too?

 

[Glen-BoB]

[Wreck]

Too bad you didnt just have a laser issue or you could still dl off psn and play this haha ... as with that issue you just cant play discs of any sort.

 

[mobius387]

[BlueCali]

12 trophies is normal for a PSN game, and as with any other game the DLC will add more troophies...

Not for full games tho, which is what this game will feel like.

Wipeout HD is an example and you CAN download Socom online which is like BF1943 as its online only too (MP) And sadly for Socom's sake close to the same map count like 3 (soon4) compared to Socom's like 8(although different stuff like night and large or small)

Those are disc based games, or otherwise known as FULL games... They changed wipeout into a download only game.
