"How awesome is Wipeout HD? So awesome!"

Anybody who has kept up with our podcast knows that we here at WingDamage really enjoy Wipeout HD. Before the Fury pack was announced, Jonah and I often discussed how great it would be if Wipeout HD were to get DLC, especially if it included more tracks. Thankfully, Studio Liverpool had hidden mics listening to our conversations and decided to grant our wishes at a ten dollar price point.

Though ten dollars might seem steep at first glance for a single DLC pack, a quick look at what Fury brings to the table will help put your mind at ease. The pack adds eight new tracks on top of the previous eight (not including reverse versions), thirteen new ship models, three new game modes, a new eighty-event campaign (the original campaign had eighty-seven events), revamped menus, and new trophies. This effectively doubles the content of what was originally a twenty-dollar game. To put it simply, you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Not ones to let a thing like that keep them down, they decided to do the show with a live video stream.

"Is $20 really too much to ask for a solid, 1080p racing experience?"

It has basically become a running gag at this point that if anybody Jonah or myself come across mentions owning a PS3, we try to convince them to buy “Wipeout HD”. We feel we need to do everything in our power to get more people playing this game. Many people get scared off by a $20 price tag on a downloadable game, but is it really worth less because it’s not on a disc?
