    Default Download Packs

    Hey, i remember reading a while back that download packs would be available at launch, i'm not in any hurry to get them, but does anyone know of any solid release date or content yet? personally i would like to see some re-made tracks (but using full graphics, rather than the simplified stuff in Pure, which is great, but those tracks would have been soooooo good in full graphics)

    Oh, I wouldn't expect anything till Jan. 1st at the earliest.
    Holidays and all, it slows down software releases when everyone needs to spend some time _not_ at work. 8 )
    I've seen it written somewhere around here that the first download pack is definitely on its way. More craft is the main content, I believe. We shall see!

    That's probably right, the first download will most likely contain ships, since Auricom has always been a mainstay, and the can't be absent for five or six months for another pidgeon to shoot down.

    Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, my prediction for the first pack is: Auricom, Icarius, and the four tracks that cycle on the official page. The other two ships wont be in pack one.

    4 tracks, 4 ships, 4 packs, I think it's most likely we'll see 1 ship and 1 track per pack, as well as a few extras such as skins, music, backgrounds. I think this time round they're going for quality over quantity.

    So we're having ourselves a little spot of the old prediction lark eh? OK I'm gonna guess, a pack of ships first.

    Well, it looks like you were right Asa… Despite no announcement, the 3 empty packs are even available right now. But hey, i'm much more waiting for real content. Do we have any news of it that wouldn't be just "soon" ?

    Now that i've completed the phantom grids, i need more Pulse !

    I reckon the packs will be released just before (3 hours) the official US release. The first pack will have Auricom to sate the want for national identity

    There was an article on neogaf a while back saying that WO pack 1 would be coming on the 31st of Jan and pack 2 would be the 7th of Feb. They sound very close to me but, if true, it means not a huge amount of waiting now.

    Well… considering that the packs were supposed to be available at launch, an official word from SL or Sony would be appreciated.
    If we link this to the US release date, Jan 31st and Feb 7th seem believable.
    That would be a great news, indeed !

    I will be very excited to have the downloadable packs

    Part of the reason for releasing downloadable content would seem to be the additional value it provides a peice of software. For example, it might convince a gamer to keep a particular game because they want to experience the additional content that would be rolling out in the future.

    So from Sony's perspective, wouldn't it make sense to wait until Pulse has been released in all territories before making the download-able content available?

    Anyway-- hope I'm wrong about this, 'cuz I want to play the new tracks!

    Considering how cheap Pulse was being sold for in some places its extra extra value

    Heh, true enough

    To be clear, I'm NOT complaining about the price of Wipeout Pulse, which I think is a damn bargain.

    It just seems that, financially speaking, Sony would want to have the downloadable content as soon some of carrot to dangle in front of gamers-- otherwise, why not just include it on the UMD?

    I'd hazard a guess that at a certain point in development, everything thats going to be included in the UMD is locked down as a certain inclusion, so they work on those elements first so they won't get sidetracked, while the dlc is still in concept.

    And there's a certain value in offering extra content. It makes you think you're getting more for free. Which, considering there was easily enough content in both Pure and Pulse on the UMDs to begin with, you are.
