WO3SE and Destruction Derby 2 twin pack: cheap source?

[JABBERJAW]

no not that one, I want the combination version with dd2

[Sausehuhn]

on german amazon it's available for months now.

here it goes to a 29,00€-WipEout3:SE/Destruction Derby2-Pack

(with german booklet)

[JABBERJAW]

I actually do need that version with the german writing, but that is not hard to find. Look at the beginning of this thread, and the combination is a regular wipeout 3(not se), that is combined with dd2. I have never seen this or been aware enough perhaps to notice it since I didn't know it existed.

[Sausehuhn]

Do I understand something wrong here?
As crunchysaviour said in his last post, it's actually not the standard-version. So who says there is a Wip3out/DD2-Pack?

[crunchysaviour]

There MIGHT be. There's one on that Puolenkuun-Pelit site (who a few of us asked via their contact-us form) that could be the WO3/DD2 pack. The one from Direct4entertainment is the Special Edition (brand new and at a good price too).

[JABBERJAW]

ONe I asked about on ebay was the actual wo3se version as well, but they showed the cover of regular wipeout 3.

[Purist]

Couldn't bring myself to buy the double pack, seemed... 'unpure' anyway, this better be bloody good! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1 all the comments have got me drooling over and made me want this for agggges!!!

[eLhabib]

there truly is nothing like it. nothing. be sure to get it!

[blackwiggle]

I just bought the WO3SE + DD Pal from Ebay UK for = Aus $12 delivered.

Wow ,I can now see what you guys have been raving about,this versions great with the 3 tracks from the original series.
I can also see what you mean about the "Floatiness" of the ships,that threw me out a bit at the beginning,and I miss "Firestarter" soundtrack from 2097 bigtime!

Iv'e just done a 12 hour stint on this game,I'm going for all gold all tracks all ships all leagues,done 148 so far and 8 challenge + 2 prototype,only 298 to go not including the challenges.

Looks like some long stints ahead.

I"m getting playstation "Thumb" again.

Are you running it on a PS2?

If so, don't forget to turn on faster disk access and texture smoothing - works a treat with W3SE.

Yeh P2,
I had already put the texture smoothing but not the faster disc acess,that might get rid of a few glitches Iv'e had with it mid race.

That and the suoerhuman blunder of not realising that I thought I had space in the memory card I had in the P2 yesterday,I didn't.

12 hour stint and nothing saved.

[Sausehuhn]

Maybe you had space but you can't use it.
AFAIK you need a PS1-memory card to save the game. the PS2-memory card won't work.

[blackwiggle]

Thanks for that info,I was wondering what I did that went amiss,Now I know.

I fell afoul of that just recently. Although PS1 memory cards cost less than £5 now usually.

[Tomahawk]

Over here in germany you can get ps1 memcards (sony original) for a maximum price of 3 EURO a piece. Really cheap stuff!

currently a few of these going cheap and cheerful on ebay.

here and here too, though the second one looks slightly iffy as you`ll see by the picture. Still I guess the seller could clear up the mystery. At the prices of the buy it now ones you can`t go wrong, and he has three available, so buy one now if you don`t have this game and you know what`s good for you.

[Hellfire_WZ]

With the second one, his feedback suggests he's reliable so I'm sure it's just an incorrect photo. His other items have the correct pictures. Can't hurt to ask though.

When I was looking for 3SE on eBay over a year a I saw the 3SE/DD2 bundle, but I didn't want it because it wasn't pure SE. I found one that was hot for bids and at no suprise, it had a thick case, complete with manual and in perfect condition. The only drawback was that it had '7405' written in sharpie on the disc and manual, but I was fine with that. I love the thing. I was never going to find one here in New Zealand because there were only 30 copies released here.

[stin]

Yes SE are no easy task to find but I have three original copies here but I simply cannot depart there! So I`m hope you can find the proper disc for you.

Oh!, welcome to the board and enjoy....

where did you get that info?
that comes as somewhat of a surprise.. I remember seeing 2 copies in store at one point at a central park store.. and the copy I own was formerly the property of civic video.. I also hired a copy from a blockbuster some time ago.

I find it hard to believe that of all the copies of this game in the country I have made contact with more than 10 percent of them.
also I see it on trademe more often than you might think

if you are right, then... yay me!
