Gt5 Is Ready

[mad082]

it's easy to spot the nerd in this thread, LOL. anyone who is willing to line up ad midnight to get a game needs to get a life. i probably won't even get it in the first day. it will be the weekend after it's released that i get it.

[Marlin]

Haha Ditto that ^^^^

Yeah, and posting 80 times in a thread about a game is totally not nerd-like

[mad082]

it's all done during business hours because i'm bored.

Got my G27 yesterday, YAY!! works great on shift and Dirt2. bring on GT.

I'm gonna build a rig for it with a bucket seat i got sitting at home, will post picks when im done

[Ten Four]

I'll get it when the price becomes realistic....

[mad082]

i've got a racing seat office chair at home, i just need the wheel setup and i can weld up a frame. don't see the missus letting me buy a wheel setup though.

I've had a wheel setup since they started talking about GT5, I've lost it under all the dust but lol

[boiracer]

lol, yeah i had to sweet talk mine a little and trade in a few birthdays but its well worth it.

price aint too bad and they wont come down in a hurry. the G25 was still selling for 360 when they discontinued it. and the G27 can be had for less than 400. got mine at Umart $399. ordered it at midnight on tuesday, was thrashing it by 4pm wednesday

there are a few cheaper on eGay. but the cheaper they get the more the postage is. all ends up around 400 anyways

more info on the collectors edition.

going off that, anyone who has put their name down for the collectors edition thinking they will get a model GTR is going to be a bit upset

[NISMO]

Gotta love this

•The “competition entry card” provided with the wallet grants you access to a special competition – one that combines in-game and real-world challenges, much like the GT Academy. The prize, though, is extraordinary: a real Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG super car of your very own. (More details on this competition will be announced later.)

•Also like the GT Academy, United States, Canadian, and even Japanese fans are out of luck, as the Signature Edition (and the competition) will only be available to residents of the following countries: UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Greece, Czech Republic, Russia, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

[mad082]

yeah i saw that but that sort of thing never really interests me because it's always based off how well you can do when racing on the game determines who gets to go to the next round, so some nerd who has a cockpit setup who spends 10 hours a day will beat me even though they may have never driven a car in real life and would suck at the practical events.

Are you guys going to be the Signature edition, yours for the low low price of $298, personally I think thats far too much money for what you get.

Signature Edition includes:

• An exclusive, branded Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 1:43 scale model car
  
• A Gran Turismo leather wallet and metal Gran Turismo key fob
  
• A Signature Edition coffee table book featuring the beautiful cars and locations of Gran Turismo
  
• A bespoke Gran Turismo 5 USB key with a trailer showing the collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and Polyphony that brought the SLS AMG to screen
  
• Six additional in-game ‘Stealth’ cars including:
  

Stealth Vehicle Pack:

• Audi R10 TDI Stealth Model
  
• Honda NSX GT500 Stealth Model
  
• Mazda 787B Stealth Model
  
• McLaren F1 Stealth Model
  
• Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Stealth Model
  
• Nissan GT-R GT500 Stealth Model
  

For those 18 or over and resident in a participating country, the chance to win a real-life Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG – your very own gull-winged, 6.3-litre-engined supercar - in a competition like no other! Full terms and conditions will be made available shortly here on www.eu.gran-turismo.com

i am f**king pissed that tehre is no GTR model.

also the collectors edition now sounds bloody lame. the signature edition though sounds ok, but still lame it doesn't have a GTR model. f**kers!!!

[Beer Baron]

According to amazon, the controller comes out on the 28th of september.

cool, I'll be in japan then too and will grab a couple from the nearest yodabashi. sweet.

[mad082]

i'm just going to go the collectors edition. it's only $130, so not much more than the normal one

just get one from the US

[Beer Baron]

so the US collectors edition is still what was promised? with the GTR model etc?

if that's the case I might get the US collectors edition and the AUS signature edition. cause the 'new' AUS collectors edition is shithouse. I mean all you get is a fancy cover, 5 art cards and online content that is lame.

actually just reading it again it seems that is for EUROPE. so apparently we will stil get the collectors edition with the GTR model? I might get the sig edition too though.

[typevu]

$298!!! God damn. What drugs are they on????? I aint paying that for a crappy Mercedes model, some cheap re-branded ebay wallet and a 1GB memory stick.

$298 I could get a 1:18 scale Auto Art R32 GTR, and GT5 standard edition and have a hell lot of change leftover.

[Beer Baron]

hmm you have a pretty solid point there. but god damn it I want all that crap.

I just want to confirm which bloody collectors edition we get in aus. if it's the 'new' one them I'm going to cancel and just get the signature edition. if we are still getting what was originally promised with the R35 model etc then I might just have to buy both... bastards. why couldn't they just include the GT livery R35 model in the signature edition. that's way more "GT" flavour. mercs have not been a Gran turismo icon by Gran Turismo helped spread the word of the GTR to countries that never got to see any in the flesh. Having the latest GTR done up in GT livery as the model just makes sense. an AMG merc does not.
