I just picked up the game and I love it so far, but I was surprised to see when i was searching for online matches only 1 or 2 games would pop up with 1 to about 4 or 5 people in them, I think its just bad timing, but are the servers pretty empty for others too?

Wipeout HD is great, but I got tired of it pretty quickly and haven't played it in quite some time since. Either everyone has gone through the same thing I did, or maybe it's bad timing. I'm surprised you could only find a few games though, it was very active a month or so ago.

Playing right now and there are 8 races available.  Game seams big with the Germans!

Same thing happened to WipEout Pulse. Great game, but nobody seems to have bought it, and nobody bothers playing online.

I went to check it out the other day and sadly yeah, there were about 4 Eu games going down and that was all. Which is a shame.

When the game first launched it was literally jam packed all the time. I'd be really happy to jump in if Studio Liverpool dropped a few new tracks and I'm sure others would agree with me.

It's a fantastic game.
