They are not free. So, no.
Fair enough, sony can have my money... damn robbers
Oh the irony!
Can't they be downloaded anywhere else?
lunar, I would like to quote you for Karelmanz's post :D
@rahvin and karelmanz: Just to hammer the point by stating the obvious, getting the packs for free, when Sony isn't giving them out free, is itself robbery.
}kicks self for stating obvious{
Will the packs will ever be released free at some point like they do it with map packs on xbox live after a few months? (Maybe much later though) Maybe to coincide with more tracks which would need to be bought?
Well, if the DLC isn't released this Thursday for the North American market, looks like we will end up waiting at least another 3-4 weeks before getting it-- the Playstation Store is going to getting an overhaul with no new content launching for two weeks.

Maybe Sony is hard at work fixing glitches in the DLC that you folks from Europe have identified :lol
Hi All!

Damn Sony, Cant get these flamin' downloads because it won't let me pay by Debit card
OMG!! When The damn PSN Store finally accepts my card, The site goes down, I Cant believe this:@
Hmm....... I wonder how much Quality Assurance personnel get paid. There's a company in my area that does QA testing on games.Quote:

I know this is probably a "NO", but is there any chance at all of SL releasing a patch to allow downloaded ships to be used online.
No - WipEout Pulse cannot be patched in this way.
This makes me a sad panda. I never understood the expression, "You can't have your cake and eat it too." But isn't my cake supposed to have all it's ships online =P. Maybe the next cake, which is a shinier cake. :cake
Another question about downloads.
How difficult would it be for All of the tracks from wipeout pure to be transferred over to pulse via download? Once all of the new track download packs are done, it would seem that this would be next, to add value, without I wouldn't think too much work. I would love to play modesto with a pulse ship, and citta would become a playable track I would think. The graphics are certainly good enough in pure to not have to change anything.
Seems like the problem with that is that it obsoletes Pure -- something which is currently being offered as a moneymaker download. Why buy the old game when you can get the new game with the new physics and sideshifting?
I Might walk over to Studio Liverpool and make them let me race online with Mirage :D As SL Head office is right by my house
Because it has different physics, and also different AI behaviour. Some people prefer its characteristics to those of Pulse.Quote:

Well on the other hand, everything was free to download for Pure, and heavyweight ships were actually a challenge to control.
Well for what it's worth-- Studio Liverpool if you are listening-- I would pay for DLC that provided Pure tracks to play on Pulse.
If this was done cleverly-- i.e., labeling as "classic packs" rather than "imported content from Wipeout Pure"-- I doubt that it would eat into sales of Wipeout Pure, either in its "Greatest Hits" packaging or the electronic version that is for sale (at least on the North American version of the Playstation Store).
On the other hand, the user base of Wipeout Pulse is probably not such that it would be worth Sony's effort to do this. Unfortunately.
With that last line, you got it in one.
If we didn't see all of the classic tracks for the million selling WipEout Pure, we're highly unlikely to see them Pulse.
I didn't mean old tracks from other games, just the pure tracks that were already created. What sorts of things would need to be done to transfer those tracks over to pulse(hypothetically). The graphics on those are just fine, and the tracks themselves would easily be playable with the tighter physics.
why excluding that could be done in the future? if SL is still working also on something for pulse (anyone know?) we may have surprise for the future. just wait and see.
(high hopes)
Don't dis Pure, it's a great game, And has my personal favourite Track in it :D (Sol 2, If you were curious)
Well, no Wipeout Pulse DLC was made available on the North American version of Playstation Store today :(
There apparently is a massive overhaul of the Store happening, so apparently we won't be seeing any new electronic content released for 2 or 3 weeks.
Pooooooop.
:0 that's really awful......im very unhappy about that...
Are there only going to be 4 packs released or will there be more eventually?
I would imagine so, I think HD will be the current focus of SLs efforts. Additionally it's just not the same when you cant use extra ships online almost makes them redundant before you even paid for them.
I hope its made clear than you can use the additional ships online when they come for HD I wonder if this lack of functionality hurt the chances of people buying future WO content.
(I am of course assuming any additional ships will be playable online given the emphasis thats been put on HDs online connectivity.)
it should be made very clear, i will not be buying HD, i don't like the look of it, and i'm not going in for this 'releasing a station to sell content for afterwards' rubish, when i buy a game i want a solid game, complete with all the ships (including the classics the fanbase, who have stuck with the series and paid for it to continue, want to see) a solid number of tracks (8 on a next gen console...please) if it's handelled anything like pulse was it will be a mess, i bought the packs, like a fool and was, just as i was with pulse itself, fairly dissapointed with track design and overall content. pure was the perfect example of how it could be done, and there could have been a healthy in-between, with a lower price tag, greater content, but alas no.
fingers crossed something amazing happens some time in the future as i want Wipeout to be as great as it can be.
Emerald. i agree, i feel ripped off having bought these packs, and not being able to use them online, ive not even played wipeout pulse, since i complete the Icaras, Mirage etc grids, I hope more content will be released for this game, and i hope they'll be online compatible
I wouldn't hold my breath ..
Could someone please post some shots of the downloadable ships and their concept versions? :)
As well as the above
Could someone please post some detailed images of they fun/key points in each of the eight runs and a pic of the zone mode colour schemes.
From what I've seen, Gemini Dam looks like it would be my favourite track and I would like your opinions on the DLC tracks.
Thanks
So has there been any news on when the packs will be available for the US folks?
I'm not super excited to pay for them, but I would like to play some new tracks and ships.
---A small off topic---
Motor Storm Comlete was announced in Japan.
It includes all expantion packs which are usable in one Blu-ray disk.
release date:2008/5/22
price:4980 yen (Original ver:5980 yen and DLCs are almost not free)
---off topic ends---
No plan for "Wipeout Pulse Complete" ?
If it is achieved, I'll plan to import Pulse...
I agree this would be a very good idea. The full game including the DLC for about 40$ (I think the current price here in Canada is 30$). That would be great.
