Should I Buy?

Hey,
I have a spare bit of money at the moment, and there seems to be some nice stuff on the PSN store right now. I'm thinking of getting:

Wipeout HD Fury Pack
Motorstorm Pacific Rift - the 2 add on packs
Fat Princess
Burnout Paradise Big Surf Island

Before I decide on whether or not to buy, please could anyone give me their reasons as to why I should or or should not part with my cash for the downloads mentioned above.

I shall definitely be getting the new CoD WaW Map Pack when it comes out (Thursday I believe)

Thanks very much in advance

Definetly buy Wipeout Fury Pack easily the best value for money DLC thats on PSN at the mo IMO. Also the 3 new game modes are fantastic, (Eliminator espicially).

Eliminator is fantastic! +1 for Fury
I don't own the Pacific Rift packs or Fat Princess myself, so my second choice would be Big Surf Island. It's fun stuff.

Re: Should I Buy?

I think that the Motorstorm PR packs are really good value

Speed pack is speed events as in the original festival and adrenaline is more tracks. I think its a total of 14 new tracks between the two but some are variations of the old ones. None of the tracks are playable in the festival but they are great fun.

Oh and you get some more vehicles too - new monster truck is good!

I'd get the killzone packs if you have killzone 2. Best FPS multiplayer on the PS3

I do have Killzone but I'm not a very big fan of it to be honest.

Re: Should I Buy?

I sold my Killzone as it did nothing for me online. I didn't even finish the single player and traded it in.

If you haven't got Battlefield 1943 then get that. £9.99 and massively entertaining, I'm hooked, much to the wife's disgust.

Another vote for Wipeout Fury. Good for both online and offline play. Great value for only £7.99
