Skin your own craft for Wipeout Pulse while you wait

Wipeout Pulse won´t hit US shops until February, but that doesn´t leave North American fans completely out in the cold. Users with a Playstation Network account can access some cool features on the official Wipeout Pulse website, wipeout-game.com. There are a lot of nifty things to play around with, including downloadable wallpapers and an online performance tracking system. But by far the most exciting feature is the skin editor, which allows players to create their very own custom skins for each craft in the game. These skins can be used in both the single player AND online multiplayer matches, so others will be able to see the hard work you have put into your skin design when you enter an online match with the downloadable skin feature enabled.

The online editor seems to be overloaded with users today, as we experienced some difficulty logging on to create our very own PVG-themed craft (look for us online!). Let us know if you have more luck than we did accessing the site. In the meantime, check out some more fantastic user-created custom paint jobs for inspiration, available after the jump.
