I would think that is plenty to do. Im not sure of any one out there that hose ps3 servers. I think the PS3 has its own contracts and stuff. Ill download the beta tonight when we go to bed, that way I wont tie anyone up.

And Major Bunghole, that question was already answered :[

The first car I got was the Honda Integra.

The BMW 135i is a beast.

The BMW Concept 1 tii is also a freaking beast.

BMW owns in mid range sports cars in GT5

It was a hard choice to pick the first car. But they I referred to Jeremy Clarkson of TopGear, and his car of the year was the '05 Golf GTI.

Wow, C-9 is f-ck'n hard. I had to exit and enter the event until I see some shitty cars up on first position.

Btw, the integra might have been a good first pick, for one of the events requires it. damn it!

The Nissan GTR 07 is a dream. Doesn't handle extremely well at high speeds, but it sure has some torque...

Does it have a turbo I wonder?

You guys having fun with GT5? I'm thinking about getting it with the wheel and everything...but my HDTV "lags" so unless I get a new HDTV, or keep moving my PS3 from my living room to my room, I guess no GT5 for me.

You should have gotten it from your local game/electronic store. This ain't a high selling game. Fry's alone in one store has 100+ copies. I am debating if I should pick up the new Driving force GT. I have also heard the the clutch DOES work for the G25.

Thats bloody hopeless Rhino, you should receive it the next day assuming it was shipped on Thursday, and ktr, get the wheel, I wouldn't be without my G25. I'll have to check out the clutch tho, must admit I haven't even tried cause in the frenetic racing that goes on its hard enough keeping up with changing gears using the paddles let alone using the clutch and gear stick, though I do realize thats what its there for.

I will wait for the DF-GT or the g25 to go on sale, then I will try to pick one up. I already spending $150 (DS3, GT5P, and GTA4) bucks on games and accessories this month for my PS3. That is pretty much my limit that I allocated for three months.

From what I have read, you have to press the triangle button after the "start" logo passed. It only works with cars with proper manual transmission, so no GTR or the new lancer.

I've been using my brothers logitech driving force a bit with GT5:p today. It's pretty good, has force feedback and pedals etc.. It was only $50 (prob cheaper in U.S). It is a PS2/PC and PS3 one.

Seems like they are going to delay the beta. High demand on Europe killed their servers again.

Edit: it seems is delayed till the 25th, but the beta will be extended.

This beta has been nothing but FAIL!

First the failure of bad codes, then the long time to download the first patch, next the making of a failed Konami ID & Game ID, and finally the failed servers.

FAIL
