So you're really saying the reason you will never buy a track is because you won't even own the system. Good one.
The Question is, will it rely on broadband/wifi and a small memory footprint per track and have you buy the key to a track and then download it per play, or will you have to save it to Memory Stick Duo with MagicGate ($$$) to save it?
It'd be cool if you could use the wifi to store it on your computer instead, that way you could take your portable out and when you wanted to play that track out of the range of your wireless home net, the PSP would display a message saying "You forgot the track at home dumbass!"
With that said, I've not doanloaded the PGR2 DLC, I dont think I'll be starting anytime soon

Everyone's a friggin' comedian.
Only if it adds new camera control options and improves the enemy drivers' A.I. Otherwise, it's considered 'downloadable content'.
I sure as hell hope not.

All that aside, I'm really looking forward to Wipeout Pure. Hopefully Sony'll start releasing more info about the game soon--I'm hoping it'll support 8+ player races via Wi-Fi. It'd also be nice if they get the Designers Republic to handle the graphic design elements again.

You barely make sense man.
Wipeout for PS3 hasn't even been announced. Who said they were gonna charge for downloadable content? Where are you getting this information? What does a PS3 version of wipeout have anything to do with this thread? Take your fanboy dogma out of this thread please.

One track a month? Sounds pretty cool. I hope they plan on incorperating new vehicles (of course). I'm not that interested in a portable Wipeout at the moment but I'm glad SOMEONE took the initiative here.
Wow this whole download new content for your portable is very very cool stuff.

UMD is 1.8 gig. "Downloadable" content which is actually only a key to unlock is by no means the norm. Just because its been done with a few XBL titles doesn't mean the rest of the gaming world will suddenly be doing it.Gunsmoke said:
Finally, no one has yet said that these tracks will cost anything. There is nothing in the original post that says anything about charging for the tracks, just downloading.
Um, don't take this the wrong way, but you're an idiot. What you're seeing here is the future of gaming, expansions on the fly. Chew on my credit card? Are you high? Why can't people who want more tracks be able to download them if they so desire? It's not like Sony is secretly charging them or something...Gunsmoke said:
I'm not sure if I even want the PSP Wipeout, but the very fact they're talking about this stuff now excites the hell out of me. I, for one, like the idea that a game I enjoy might get updates in the future... If you don't want updates, don't pay. It's as simple as that.

One'd say you'd have to care an awful lot, to be making all these posts about something you "don't care at all about"

damn.. wipeout is an awesome game... with new tracks to keep it fresh..
I am definately an xbot.. but i may soon also be a PSP-bot...
the system sounds amazing, i just dont think ill have the $$$ to afford one right at the launch...
if i do have a job and money then, however, i will definately have an xbox 2 and PSP at launch next year... the PSP would/will be my first playstation branded product!

Well, I'd like to see the number of tracks initially available for the game before jumping to any conclusions. If the number matches previous games, I don't think there's anything to get upset about. Then I'll probably consider it a way for the developers to keep the game alive, and to add game content that's been made after the game was released. Thankfully, noone is forced to buy the game.
I'm aware of what Sony's future plans are for online gaming transactions. But we know nothing about the specifics of those plans to know for sure if they will charge for *every* piece of downloadable content. Without direct reference to pricing with regard to *this* content, it's nothing more than an assumption and one that's not particularly well-founded.Society said:
"memory stick."
"Memory Stick Duo with MagicGate ($$$)"

Hmmm... I thought it'd be more expensive than that, but You gotta love Sony's oportunistic spirit: since these max out at 128 MB, you KNOW, you'll eventually buy more than one if you use download content.
Haha, let the milking begin!
though I guess you cna't blame it all on milkage, I had printed an image of the PSP to scale, and putting a mem stick over it really does make it look like an impossible fit. a well, I guess it'll have to do :\

So you get to download textures and lighting FXs and crap for the game later through Wifi?
john2kx said:
You can also think of it like this:
if a developer had unlimited time to develop a game, would the game ever be released?
What I'm saying is, they may continue to make tracks AFTER the game is released. It's not neccessarily that they're removing content just to release it later on.

I suppose so. I'm not quite sure how feasable that really is though. Those tracks would probably be at least 10-20MB each. That's a lot of room on the memory stick...

Mr2Mike, get your facts... straight before bitching
.PSP uses Memory Stick Pro Duo which maxes at 512 MB for now and it is not that expensive either: $49.98 for a 128 MB Memory Stick Pro Duo module.

Sandisk is the co-inventor of the PRO format together with Sony, they are reliable.
