As much as I like the tapping method of turbo start that was found in all of the original games, I really like the fact that Wipeout Pure's has been made easier.

Why?

Because after 10 years of playing Wipeout, can you imagine how many times we've all tapped the X button in preperation for a turbo start? I work on computers for a living (Graphic Designer) and I'm starting to realise that all of these fast tapping motions that we all do on keyboards, gamepads, mouses, etc, does have an effect on your hands, and can introduce that nasty term RSI (or carpal tunnel syndrome). I don't want to sound like I'm whining, but I'm getting to the point where I need to be quite conscious of this.

Anyway, it's not like the old method was really any harder (WO1 excluded), it's just different, really.
