Download Packs

the absence of a credit card not everyone can have it

Indeed.
I e-mailed Portugal Sony staff and i got a reply in -12 Hours.
In my country i can only use credit card
However i cannot afford one, and i'm underage...
Using services such as paypal, pay by phone, would greatly help me...

Did we not get a pack today like last week? Or was that Thursday?

[Dogg Thang]

Yeah, I think it was Thursday. And the Icaras pack was announced for the 14th I think.

For some reason, the pack has seriously bumped up my loading times. It's rather unpleasant.

[Chrono]

I've noticed that too. It's ridiculous online sometimes.

[zargz]

heh! don't you remember pure with all the packs?
longer loading time was expected. by me anyway

[Dogg Thang]

Yeah, that's true. I guess I was hoping Pulse would be a lot more efficient with them - like it is when it loads up at the start.

[Kansas]

Okay...what gives?

I went to the PlayStation Store to download the expansion packs for Pulse...

Well...where the hell are they?

I can't find them anywhere...

[Dogg Thang]

Hmmm... is it possible they've held off releasing them in the US?

[Kansas]

That would suck.

I went to wipeout-game.com and it said the expansion packs were available for download via the PlayStation store

[Dogg Thang]

Well I think the PS store is updated on a Thursday so check back later and maybe they'll have put one up.

Icarus pack on the UK Playstation store at the slightly reduced price of 2.99, get it while it's hot!

The Dutch store has it also for 1 Euro less than the Mirage pack.

Icaras-team,

Two extra circuits: Edgewinter Black (including Zone-variant) en Gemini Dam White.

Finally! (I needed my fix already)
Good stuff! We shall see then if the Icarus is the new Piranha.
Too bad we can't still use the ships online...

"NOTE: The ship in this pack cannot be used for online play via Infrastructure Mode or Ad Hoc Mode."

Though it's good they mention that this time

[NeXaR_QroN]

Well, that price is better, but... isn't the minimum you can spend at once 5€ anyways?

On another note, I guess Icaras is not playable online as well as mirage, right?
Edit: DJManiac beat me to it

[MarcoM]

... isn't the minimum you can spend at once 5€ anyways?

No you can spent less than 5 Euros. But I believe you must added a minimum of 5 Euros to your wallet.

[NeXaR_QroN]

OK, thanks for that info.

Anyways, could we get an official statement from someone on the team about wether or not the new ships will be playable online in the future? I don't care if "that future" is 2 weeks or 2 months from now, but I need to know if even the possibility of that happening exists.

[Flashback Jack]

We shall see then if the Icarus is the new Piranha.

I still say there's nothing special about the Piranha, especially considering the push Feisar has made on a few tracks in the last few days. I see how it's convenient to believe it has something to put it above the rest, chiefly because everyone uses it based on that belief, leading to the perception that it dominates the leaderboards (the more that use it, the more likely it'll flood the boards -- numbers).

Sometime in the near future, I'll be putting my AG-Sys through some paces on some of the straighter tracks (Moa, Talon) to hopefully further convince myself and anyone that cares to pay attention that my suppositions were correct. I firmly believe the balance Egg worked hard to achieve is in fact there, but the closer we come to a proof, the better informed we'll be.

[Dogg Thang]

Well the price definitely moving in the right direction. That's a good sign. Still adds up to an overall expensive purchase for all four packs but the move is a positive one.

[Amaru]

Evil PlayStation Store and WipEout developping team... I jumped the Store and bought this second pack as soon as I saw it was out before even seing its new price! =^__^= I got so pleased by it that I bought/downloaded the original Wipeout in the same go (even though I should have gotten it free earlier if I hadn't registered my PlayStation Store account a couple hours before receiving the promotional mail announcing the opening of the same Store ). X3 Heck, are we getting Wipeout 2097 in the Store sometime soon? I'd pay bucks for that one! XD

[P52Smith]

I am looking forward to Gemini Dam, in March.
(see my previous posts in this thread for why!)
