If you view the time attack tracks, you will see there are four more tracks listed beyond those that came with the game. So, it seemed pretty obvious after the first two packs, that they would release each of these four tracks seperately in thier own pack.
And, ya, I'm not paying for Motorstorm content. I love the game, but the DLC needs to be a MUCH better deal if I'm going to bite. I'm paying $24 for 50% more Motorstorm. And that ain't close to worth it, considering I already bought the base game. They need to release everything, in one pack, for $10 or I will never purchase it.

Holy shit, Pain is so fun. I got a really awesome run in Paindemonium, just a hair under 5 million, and got all the score medals at once.
Only real annoyance so far is that the "playable" area of the level is pretty small and once you leave that area you get a worthless camera view. And grabbing stuff is kind of finicky, but maybe that is lessened with practice.

Lame, you can't play hotseat multiplayer with one controller.
Also, are the leaderboards not working for anyone else? I'm not submitting a score for Aftermath and no scores are showing up either.

I noticed the Sixaxis loses a lot of analog and motion sensing if you change controller ports with the Rock Band Strat.PuMa said:

Because you leave the dongle in, it's usually P1 and you have to change to it. But after you make the sixaxis P1, you have to turn it off and on again.

I've noticed that you live outside the US, according to your profile. In that case, I've got this little anecdote to tell you:
Basically, I acquired the EU Blast Factor via sharing. However, everytime I finished a game, it would always ask me to connect online to upload scores to the leaderboard, even though I was clearly online. After I bought the US Blast Factor, I never got this prompt.
There could be leaderboard issues if you bought the US version, but that might have only happened to me because I got the EU Blast Facor through sharing rather than paying. Just wanted to put that out there as a possibility.

The leaderboards aren't working for me either. As for unlocking, you need 1.5 million in regular Paindemonium to unlock Aftermath (same level, different object/NPC placement), and you need a gold medal in Mime Toss or Spank the Monkey to unlock the next difficulty.
I'm definitely enjoying Pain more than I thought I would, but the lack of in-game music, the grayed-out music player buttons in the audio menu, and some mumbling from the developer about custom soundtracks in a PS blog comment tends to suggest that this game might support them... and I have no idea how to get my own music to play. Am I stupid (waits for junior member jokes), or are we short a firmware update?
And they really do need to put a lock icon over characters that aren't available yet, the standard error message when you try to select one makes it seem like Pain itself is corrupted.

I'm pissed the price is up on Pixeljunk already. Despite the wording, deals here in the US go through the stated date. It's the 29th for 2 more hours still. That's one less sale for Pixeljunk. Really shitty job, Sony.
That said, keep the Pain impressions coming. I'm still undecided. PEACE.

i got a question about pain before i download this..
can you walk around town with your character or are you simply stuck in that sling shot what ever waiting for be thrown into objects?
and are there like secret items to collect or "hit" while youre bring flung into the air and into buildings and such?

Here are my impressions so far:
Just played with a buddy of mine for about 3 hours. This game is addicting and tons of fun.
So far.
I'm not sure yet how long it will last. It seems like the game was more or less rushed to delivery missing some key features. I mean, is it really necessary to show us characters at the select screen that are locked out because we cant "purchase" or download them yet? Furthermore, it kinda sucks that there is only one area to play in. If/when they release more, they better be free.
As other people mentioned, there is also no music in-game. TTP talked about this in his impressions of the preview code he played. Same thing in the final code. Seems kind of bland to have no music while playing.
Gripes aside, the game is a lot of fun to play. If the extras that come along in the future are free, I'd say it is well worth the $10 upfront.

I KEPT asking if online mp was there... some gaffers seemed to assume so.. but with each time the question was answered on the blog.. it was done in a very stealthy way that seemed to cover up the fact that there was no online multiplayer...
deep down inside I knew that there wouldn't be any... and Sony has not let me down...
I was really hoping for this game to be implemented better.. but like much of the content in Sony's repertoire ... its only half done

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
I had a class from 6:15 to 9:00 and ever since I've gotten back my roommate has been watching basketball so I can't get a chance to play PAIN. Jesus christ is this shit annoying. What a worthless sport and way to spend all your evening and night.
WTF... so Sony updated the Pain Fact Sheet on the press center, literally a few hours ago.
Here's part of the old FS. Guess which parts are now missing...
Oh well, I hope they patch the online stuff in... and soon... and for free.
And what's up with the "Community" just bringing up a broken version of the PAIN site. The damn videos don't even work on the PS3 browser. And the "Error getting content" extra characters (which seem like Holiday themed unlockables). How they hell does this stuff get through QA?
Methinks it wasn't ready so they pushed out whatever stable version they had.
What's left of the game IS fun tho.

Everyday Shooter is brutal hard.
I didn't think I would be this rusty after not playing SSHD for a few months, but fuck. I get to the 5th level and fail 80% through every time.

I really don't understand this...they've worked on the game for such a long time, and to just push it out like that doesn't sound right to me. But it does feel a bit "hollowed" out.
Perhaps it was gutted because it's going to be somehow integrated to Home (it has the trophies and badges still, after all). Other then that, why feel pressured to release the game when it's not ready?
This doesn't sound like the PSN I'm used to.
Oh, and if there was ONE GAME to actually benefit from the screenshot function...it's this. And it's not in here. Gah.

I was really hoping to get some kind of combo for doing that, it was the first thing I tried after learning to grab...
There's definitely room for improvement with PAIN, but it's pretty fun. I've already put a few hours on it. Really addictive, but it seems like a demo. Needs more levels and custom soundtracks.
I'd pay $30-40 for a really fleshed-out, polished version.
