What? I don't see any Auricom..
Strange… i just got the Harimau pack but didn't see any Auricom flying around…
EDIT : Well… it wasn't too complicated to get to it
The foggy mood of Orcus looks great…

Oh, it's listed as 28/02/2008! Rob, if I shouldn't link to that, feel free to remove my post.
Yeah, I saw that! That's good news. Hopefully it'll be "soon" for real (like the first half of 2008).Quote:

Feels a little odd getting content on the PS Store before the US, if any of you have been following the weekly updates on PS3 you'll notice just how shite the EU store is, and I do mean SHITE in comparison. :turd
Phantom Eliminator on Orcus White is pure addictive evil! XD
Ah, turns out that Auricom page is fine after all. Wipeout-game has been updated with a link to that very page.
WARNING - From www.wipeoutpulse.com the link in the Harimau packs takes you to the Auricom pack purchase. And if you check the packs section auricom doesn't appear yet.
Awesome! I just successfully managed to download both Harimau (from the PlayStation Store) and Auricom (from the PlayStation Store via wipeout-game.com)! At last, the game feels complete...
If they drop the price to 2,99€ for all I might consider purchasing the packs.
I'm still waiting, thanks. T_T
ok, i started this thread ages ago, then lost the internet for a month, so i come back to find, the download packs are out, one ship each, just two tracks, none of which are re-makes and we have to pay for this too...right.
still nothing for North America, it seems...
Nope, doesn't look like it-- no DLC for Pulse on the North American version of the Playstation Store that I could see :(
Hopefully next week.
The loading times have acually gotten longer with each pack. I noticed this very clearly yesterday after DL'ing the two last packs. What's funny is that loading a track and the ships for a race seems to take longer time even! (that is, with 4 packs it is slower than with 2 packs).
Orcus was nice though. :robot
Oh, and the Manor Top like run! Blew my mind for the first few laps, as the 90-degree turns don't alternate like the wo3-track.
This thread just makes me want the packs more and more, especially with your comments, I can at least imagine the tracks and ships.
This is weird, downloaded the mirage pack and I got an error trying to load it, it says "This data item cannot be started. There is no game that is compatible with this data" THEN I tried opening Wipeout and I get "Unable to load the download pack PSP\GAME\UCES00465\PACK1.EDAT from Memory Stick Duo. This download pack will not be available during gameplay."
Not sure what that could be, is your PSP registered to the account you used to download? That`s all I can think of.
I`ve got all the DLC now, and I have to say the four new tracks are all high quality. I`m even finding Edgewinter quite enjoyable on Rapier, as it is narrow and quite satisfying to get right (occasionally) when you`re going fast. Gemini Dam in both ways is fabulous, and Orcus, I can only imagine, will be completely insane when I try it at Phantom. Thank God the DLC has stopped now, though, I haven`t even learned the UMD tracks properly yet!
As for the download ships, apart from Icaras with its TT potential they seem kind of wasted and not really useful without being enabled for online, unless one of them has some secret speed I haven`t seen yet. Hopefully add-on ships won`t have this problem in HD.
is the auricom pack available in US? i click the auricom expansion pack box on wipeout-game.com and it sends me to the playstation store and i log into my psn account, and it says i dont qualify for the eligibility to use this product. am i doing something wrong or is it just not available still?
Oh on the EU store the Mirage and Icaras packs are 1 and 2 respectively in the top downloads list. Not what I wanted to see really, looks like enough people are willing to pay £3.50 for it then maybe we can enjoy the same unfair pricing with HD downloads. On saying that there was no message with the Mirage pack saying it was crippled.
Did you try adding the pack to your basket first then logging in?
Yeah- as far as I'v been able to tell, no US downloads yes, but considering the site already knows your region theoretically, I'd think it'd be better to actually respect this locale in terms of the expansions for letting the casual user know what's out.Quote:

So, basically, those of us int he US are getting the short end of the stick, it looks like. I looked on the PS store site and there isn't even a link in order to be able to contact anyone.
took a few months after EU release to get packs.
if we are patient, we can get them too.
Since the add on packs were release for the EU before US it shouldve been available for download the day the US release, its bogus we have to wait to get the content.
I seem to remember the same arguements about Pure's specialized packs for the EU release, W03's SE release for EU etc. Face it, WipeOut franchise is popular in the states, but not as much as in EU, not to mention Studio Liverpool, Psygnosis, DR, and everyone associated with the product are EU-based. It's somwhat to be expected that US and the rest of the world will get second-class treatment. The only reason we got Pure first was because the system was out in the US from what I remember, half a year earlier.
The same happens with most Japanese games that are already quite ready for international release; either content ends up missing in the EU and U/C releases, a heavily-delayed release, or worse.
Another item to take note of is that because we haven't seen the US release of the packs, who is to say how they'll be delivered in the store-as a single pack, modified pricing, etc...
im hoping for at least a mid march release of the packs in the us. *fingers crossed* im really not gonna be happy if they end up waiting a few months to release them in the US like they did with the EU ones :(
plus it makes it worse for us now that we kno all these ppl that do have the packs already, but we can't really talk about them or anything cause we don't have them yet. im waiting for harimau...
Isn't part of the motivation for DLC is that it provides additional value to the original game disc, and thus encourages gamers to keep the game rather than selling it? Used games undercut sales of new game copies, and publishers don't receive any money from used games sales.
It's not clear exactly what Sony's aspirations are in terms of DLC... but if they want to maximize their potential profits, it seems like they would want to release it after the game had been out a while (1 or 2 months?) in a given region. So while I am disappointed by the fact that DLC isn't available in North America yet, I guess I'm not really surprised, either...
Still, every Thursday I log onto the Playstation Store hopeing to see the content available :lol
I want to at least complete the game before start with the dl but I understand the ones
who want to compete with the icaras that seems to be faster than the piranha.
Personally I'll stick to my favorite for this game - assegai! :p
Pure allowed us to dl the content for free and those who had the EU version of Pure was able to dl the content. I have a EU PSN account but cant buy the packs because my CC is an american CC and wont work on the EU PSN, otherwise i wouldnt be complaining.
I have the EU Pulse but cant get the packs because of mentioned above ; ;
Anyways hopefully wont have to wait too much longer
check out Entropay (.com I think) as an online service that you can use to create international credit card numbers that are accepted in places where your own card isn't
I am yet to use it myself, but I have a few friends who've used it to buy stuff from the american psn (on ps3) store before it hits pal territories (notably: everyday shooter)
All of this is why 'regions' are evil and there is no good reason to have them in the Internet Age. Info is just data, and data can go anywhere. When the physical piece of software (oxymoron?) is no longer relevant, getting packs via a single ubiquitous location on the internet actually sounds cheaper for the distributor than multiple conflicting regions. This would all make sense if they where all going into the same 'Sony' pot, but nothing says loving like SCEA and SCEE fighting it out to see who sells more games. .
If only there was 1 WipeOut Pulse, with packs that worked no matter which region. Imagine all the content a replay value Pure would have had with JP+EU packs in 1?
Someone really needs to crack the new wad protection... ::sigh::
US Pulse works with EU packs.
Not to mention that by the time a track, let alone the game has loaded your PSP would've run out of battery ;)Quote:

Is it also just possible to play the US version on my European PSP? Have yet to play Pure, but from what I've gathered most people seem to prefer it over Pulse, so I'll probably pick up a copy soon. Sorry for being off-topic, but the subject just came up, thought I'd ask.
yes, you should be able to as the PSP is region-free for games.
Oh, bless you for taking the plunge, stin :)Quote:

Any thoughts about differences between the North American and PAL versions of the game? Is it just the fix to the race records as near as you can tell?
