Wow buying the Japanese version just to have the extra track early? - Or dont you have a version of wipeout already?

Any word on when we get it (we being the US game owners)?

Yes I too have fallen into the trap of looking forward to the new tracks too much. That said I had a wonderful session of wipeout pure before bed last night and I love the existing tracks very much. Godammnit though - karbonis on pure is a nightmare :shame
