ya id buy that for sure!!!
Ok, I'm ready for new content. Seems like it is still going to be a while until the packs are available for the US.
Does anyone know if I can log into the EU store and download them? Is that possible?
Rubix42, the answer is yes you can but can you pay for it?
stevie:)
I haven't really been checking... but the D/L packs STILL aren't available in the US??? Wow. Has Sony just abandoned support for Pulse in the States?
Don't forget that the two versions of the game are marketed/released by two different rather independent divisions of Sony, SCEE and SCEA.
Today I downloaded the Patapon demo game on my psp. After playing it I wanted to play some Pulse. While loading the game I got a menu that said I couldn't play the downloaded content anymore. So I should press circle for starting the game, but it didn't do anything. Now I can't play Pulse anymore.
I deleted the Patapon demo immediately, but no success. Now I am so sad. Can anybody help me out?
Here`s my theory.....
Your PSP can only be registered to one Playstation store account at a time, and can only access content downloaded with the account it is currently registered to. Sounds like you may have registered your PSP to a different PSN account to the one you downloaded the Pulse packs with, while you were in the process of downloading the Patapon demo. Did you download the Pulse packs and the Patapon demo with same PSN account? If not, that could be the source of your problem.
You would need to either access the account you downloaded the Pulse packs with and re-register your PSP to that, or re-download the packs on the same account as the one you downloaded the Patapon demo with.
Or I could be wrong....
Does that make sense? I hope it helps anyway..... :)
Demos are not account locked (Unless Sony is starting a new trend) so I doubt it could be that. A file probably got corrupted which prevents the loading of the pack AND Pulse. I suggest logging on to your account again and redownload the packs once more (You can do that an infinite number of times on one PSP, on up to five PSPs so it shouldn't be a problem), obviously after erasing all traces of them on the memory stick.
Oh yes Lunar, you are spot on! I was so lucky to get all the packs of Pulse from DjManiac, together with Kula World and original Wipeout, which are not working either atm. The Patapon demo, I downloaded it myself. It said something just before downloading it, which I did not quite understand, something about PSN accounts.
Now I understand it, but it is a little late. Just because I was so lucky to get the DLC as a present, I can't download anything else for myself without losing all thing received before. I think this sucks big time!
Sorry DjManiac, from now on you have to pay for all the games I want to have. You are gonna be a poor man very soon.;)
I have heard of this exact problem before in some of the online forums that visit-- not with regards to Wipeout but with other games, and usually in the context of registering the PSP in different regions. I completely understand Sony's need to protect its downloadable software with DRM but the situation can end up being a real mess. Maybe I will start doing ALL of my Wipeout gaming on a single PSP, tied to a single PC and PSStore account, in a single region.
Sorry for your situation, Mad-Ice :(
Just so you know, there is a way to decrypt the DRM. However I will only state it, if you want more info send me a PM.
Because really, in your case, you have the right to use the packs and the demo, since the demo is free, and the packs were graciously given to you by a friend. (Which is not against Sony's policy as far as I know. Unless we mustn't have friends anymore...)
" Unless we mustn't have friends anymore...)"
If corporations could have their way.....

ain't it a b. we had to now pay for packs to upgrade games.
since last year,
Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Because really none of the security measures they have invented up to now are effective. The hackers will find a way no matter what... Such measures are taken only to bother the paying customer, which is what I do not understand.Quote:

So the other thing I can think of is ask to log back into the account owning Pulse Packs and PurE download game, and download the Patapon demo from that account. This will reactivate your PSP under that account, so you should be able to play the games again. :)
Let me beat a dead horse even deader.
I've been so busy with work I haven't been able to devote any time to WipEout Pulse in a long time. I just got laid off on Thursday...
Anyway, where the hell are the "new" download packs??? I can't find them anywhere.
http://store.playstation.com/game/index.vm
There is a link for you but, it`s Europe Network, unless you have certain Credit card to download the packs for you.
stevie:)
The link takes me back to the U.S. site :(
They are not available in US yet. Grrr :bomb
just give it time.....it'll happen:P
what the hell? how long must we wait?
Has Anyone tried emailing SCEA? Chances are it would be a futile effort but you never know eh.
You never know!
On a brighter note, I have just got the DLC and am ready to use it online now in my effort to meet you guys online.
It does seem suprising that America doesn't have the packs after all this time, its been 3 months since the game was released there and an overall 5.5 since release over here. They shouldn't be long now. I feel that they should all be released simultaneously for all you Americans when they are released which should be ASAP.
Looking forward to racing these tracks at phantom speed successfully but I will stick to Flash and Venom (whilst dabbling in Rapier and Zone) to learn the tracks properly then add them to my challenge list in The Arena.
Almost nobody plays DLC online. I just downloaded a demo on my psp which corrupted my pulse packs which I got from DjManiac. Now I can't play my DLC anymore. Guess what, the first day I couldn't play DLC somebody selected DLC online and I was kicked out the room!! Soon I will be playing DLC again. So then I will be looking for you.
Question for those of you from PAL territories-- can you buy Pulse DLC over a PS3 or does it require a PC with the Playstation Store standalone application?
I'm a mac guy that will soon be getting a PS3-- I'm wondering if I can use it to get the North American DLC (whenever the heck it is released) rather than having to track down somebody's PC.
Uh I can't say I have ever seen it on the store via the PS3.
Oh, hey guys. Didn't know we were still speculating when the DLC would be available in North America. It's so nice to know SCEA isn't dropping the ball on the few, but very loyal Pulse players who are already annoyed at having to pay money for ships I can't use online when none of the Pure DLC in North America was paid for by Puma or Coke and such and yet free at the same time.
But hey, I'm not bitter at all about it. Not me! :brickwall
Don't talk about the playstation store to me, i haven't got the DLC pack anymore.
Just a simple question , why the hell when you want to pay AGAIN for the DL pack you can't do that with your own original account and need to create a new one ... we spent time to elucidate this with my North American friends without fining a true answer.
^^
Sorry, Asayyeah, I'm not following you-- can you explain that again?
No worrie Frances i will try to do my best :
I registered into playstation network with an account named Asayyeah : i DLed the packs and paid 16 euros for them, i needed to DL the packs again due to the update to ranking site not working ( i told about that story 3 months ago) sadly i used all my 5 slots because i formated my MStick everytime before DLing the pack again, so when i wanted to offer the pack to one of the Dutch team member, it refuses it to me saying i already have the 5 DL completed, we tried to find a way to pay again for the pack with my Asayyeah account : no possibility it only says : please desactivate your psp to this account if you want to Dl again one time ... : that makes no sense i want to pay for the pack again to offer them to whoever i want but NOT, grrr
So in the Usa , Al's nephew created me another account through ps store with a different email adress i put my credit card on it and i offered to 5 North american friends, At toronto i wanted to do the same with another account created but this time i simply couldn't , at Jay's flat we tried everything but it refused working.
Back to France i have the surprise not to have anymore the packs, and i can't DL it again on the 3 accounts i created ...
That drives me nuts:robot
Ah, I understand!
Ouch, that is like the definition of a broken digital rights management mechanism-- first you are screwed by effectively loosing your five downloads-- and then, when you are willing to spend some money to re-buy the content, you are not allowed :(
The game should have cost 55 Euros and the packs for free. Definitely.
Tonight I downloaded the Patapon demo again, but with the playstationstore account of DjManiac. Immediately all the packs of Pulse were working again. Yihaa, I am so happy it is working:g
I think it is so stupid that we can only asign one playstationstore account to a PSP or PS3.
For a PS3, five accounts, for a PSP, one.
But yeah, it's stupid.
Another Thursday, new updates for the Playstation store, no DLC available in North America for Wipeout Pulse :(
Was looking through the various stuff that can be purchased-- is there any DLC available for the PSP at all in North America? I don't think there is even a heading in the store for purchasing DLC to support UMD games... or maybe I am just missing something.
I don't think we are going to get anything. Very bad indeed. If they are working on it, certainly they could drop a nice line on here saying, hey we are trying to make it work really nice, but nothing. I don't see why there would be a problem saying, hey, we are working on the content, and it will be available in a month or so. Why so secretive? Not to mention, why no release date or hype or anything for wipeout hd? It's going to sell like S@##$$ without the advertising. Sure, I might buy all 45 different versions of it, but noone else will give it a second look, especially without a demo for people to try. I'm sure if a demo comes out, it will be vector(venom actually, which is the new vector). Makes absolutely no sense to me. Wouldn't you want your fan base to build up your game word of mouth, rather than bitch about "where is it" "where are the downloads" "is there going to be a demo" and "when is it coming out". Every excellent selling game's release date is known months in advance.
this sucks fatguy ass
:turd:turd:turd:turd:turd:turd:turd:turd:turd
japperjaw is right. this is no way to treat loyal fans. we have as much of a right to get the download packs as the Europian fanbase. Wipeout is practically the only game i ever play anymore, and i would be completely willing to pay for anything new they release, as r thousands of other people, im sure. It's bad enough we have to deal with their sloppy online interface, the least they could do is tell us they're not releasing the dp's. at least that way i could stop checking all the time and focus on other things.
they need to stop wasting everyone's time. there's a difference b/w building anticipation and pissing everyone off.
I too am a bit bummed that I cannot purchase the new ships and tracks here in the US.
However, in SL's defense, Pulse is not exactly a best seller, and perhaps Sony doesn't believe that offering the packs here is worth the cost of updating them for the US store. We may be in the minority in this regard.
ew. Now thAt was truly grotesque.Quote:

Especially when my family paid an extra $15 than what it's being sold in stores here. That alone should pay for the extra content. :/
