Download Packs

[Rapier Racer]

Has Anyone tried emailing SCEA? Chances are it would be a futile effort but you never know eh.

[P52Smith]

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.

[Rapier Racer]

Uh I can't say I have ever seen it on the store via the PS3.

[RJ O'Connell]

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!

[Asayyeah]

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.

[Frances_Penfold]

^^
Sorry, Asayyeah, I'm not following you-- can you explain that again?

[Asayyeah]

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

[Frances_Penfold]

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

[Sausehuhn]

The game should have cost 55 Euros and the packs for free. Definitely.

[Mad-Ice]

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

I think it is so stupid that we can only asign one playstationstore account to a PSP or PS3.

[Darkdrium777]

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.

[JABBERJAW]

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

[jklasdf]

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.

[Rubix42]

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.

this sucks fatguy ass

ew. Now thAt was truly grotesque.

[RJ O'Connell]

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.

Then I should request that users like myself, who paid extra to buy the game three months early from Australia, should be able to purchase the DLC from the Euro store.

****, I'd be happy to wire someone the money if I can find a way how to, now that I have money in the bank. I just don't think I should be punished for residing in a part of the world that considers Wipeout games to be absolutely irrelevant.

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. :/
