Gt5 Is Ready

[Dark26]

about the 10 Gb thing..

I have an 80gb Ps3, for the last 3 yrs...... i was just wonderring if when u upgrade the HDD in the PS3 to 500GB, can you transfer all your files over, including saved game data??????

I want a new Hardrive cause my current one is almost full of movies.

You can connect a flash drive to your ps3 and copy your save data on to that. But some won't allow you to copy it.

EB and JB also updated the gt5 release dates a few days ago to the 4th, which we now know is true.

recently I bought a mybook world edition "white light" as my PS3 was getting full too. This thing is great, you just plug it in to your router and the PS3 detects it straight away and all you do is move your movies into the right file on the my book and then you can view them through the PS3 using the movie options from the main menu! 1TB was only about $180 so it was pretty good value.

Man they better f**king fix online play.

So so sick of it.

Wait 10mins to play a race if your lucky, if your not lucky, freezes at start of race, during loading screen, you go spectator mode and have to wait for the race to end or you get a black screen = reset game.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hi, James. welcome to the GT5 thread. uhhh

mind telling us wtf you're talking about please?

[mad082]

possibly blaming a poor network connection on the GT5 prologue game

[Ten Four]

My network connection is awesome... PS3 sits 3m from modem and I never ever get disconnected, speed is about 8mb down, 2mb up.

What I said makes sense and I stand by it....

[gersfan]

sometimes it freezes just as the cars line up, or you will go into specating mode where you have to sit until the race finishes or reset ps3.

nothing to do with network connection we have it as good as it can be for perth residential.

I'd say every 1 in 5 or so games it happens. but you can also play sometimes and it wont happen at all

[Ten Four]

Yeah, and we even time when we enter races together... no excuses GT5P!

BTW: Beat my London 650PP time of 4:12.856

Best lap: 49.502

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

you're comparing apples and blowjobs man.

GT5P is NOT gran turismo 5.

[Ten Four]

...well you know what I mean now then...

[mad082]

How is the issues u are having to do with the game? wouldn't they more be to do with the server that you are logging on to. or possibly your connection at your ISP's end? or maybe it is other people you are racing against having issues that is screwing up the race.

[Ten Four]

I'm pretty sure its GT5P....

For example, the waiting to join a race is rediculous, at least 3mins.

Why didn't they just make it like a waiting room, where the host can race when wanted.

With the consistent freezing and spectator mode, I don't know how to fix it....

www.scorptec.com - have 2 stores in vic, FYI they have a pack for $475 which gets you a G27 steering wheel (6 speed manual), and GT5 when it comes out, just have to use the promo code of "GGOCAU"

I picked up my g27 and all I can say is wow! cant wait for the actual game to come out now

[Ten Four]

^f**k yes. Remind me when GT5 actually comes out

[Mr Eps]

sooooooooooo with these steering wheels - do you guys use cockpits or what???

im not a fan of wheels personally - i got one for xmas once... me and brother kinda paid halvies and got it for each other... we were all excited about it etc - got it home and realised that it:

A) has nowhere to be placed and isn't comfortable to use on one's lap and

B) is quite a cumbersome device to store in one's junk cupboard.

[Ten Four]

^I drive cockpit view all the time with the controller...

Usually, you mount on a table...

[mad082]

what eps meant about using a cockpit was do you guys have the cockpit driving simulator things, not what view do you use?

a guy that works at harvey norman here has one. cost him $1800.

i'd like to make one, but i don't have the space to put it, or the money to buy the wheel. i have an office chair with a sports seat on it so i'd just make it so that it clamps to that.

[UNR33L]

the package is only for the end of this month i think. best to call scorptec

but yeh i bought the g27 got it at home now on the prologue, and MAN THE WHEEL IS f*kN AAWESOME, far better quality then any other generic wheels.. i can highly recommend trialing one of these wheels out.. the clutch / brake / accel are even different spring rates so the brake is a little hard, the accel is soft, and the clutch is somewhere in the middle.. the 6 speed is just awesome you can slam it around a little bit as well..

i wouldnt mind making a cockpit thing up but dont have the space so just use it on my computer chair / desk with my 32" monitor in front of me.. good times

[mad082]

i went into harvey norman on the weekend and put a pre-order on gt5. i went the cheaper collectors edition. came up in the system as $198, but the guy did it at $129 for me (since that is what their site had). he said that there are always things in the system at wrong prices, but it may also be an indication that that is what the price will be for non pre orders.

pretty sure he also said that the signature edition is all sold out (i could have mistaken him though), but he expected there to be a few extras on top of what are set aside for pre-order as he said that other times pre-orders had been sold out they had recieved one or 2 extra for stock.
