I always played the old wipeouts with external, later on when i graped my old ps1 with wipeout i used internal to beat my mates, from that point i felt like internal gave me a better speed rush! I wanted more, i bought a PS3 with wipeout HD and now I always play with internal, played the first few weeks external but the game just felt so mutch better internal!! zone 80+ speeds are just crazy internal it is a must for all players!!
