top gear is an awesome show and im not even into cars.

This is a kinda cool concept - esp. if the episodes are free. However, I honestly think Gran-Turismo type games are borring. If I want realistic driving, I will get in my car and drive. Arcade driving is my type of fun - Motorstorm/Burnout PWNS GT!

:slap:

Bugger, this is fantastic news IF you own a PS3, I'd love to drive that circuit. However, I'm not about to blow £300 on a console to play one game, however good it is. Why can't they do a PC port! Bloody SONY.....

I want some Hammerhead and Follow-through action too :(

ewww you want follow-through action? :wtf: :roll::roll::roll:

lol

yea, right around gambon's corner :p

Awesome... now I just have to wait for the game to come out :P

I hope you are playing the GT5P Jap demo right now, it is pretty damn sweet. :rockout:

Nope, I've yet to follow the instructions on making a Japanese psn account... maybe this weekend I'll have some time to try it out :P

Word of warning is that it is a "limited" demo. Its gonna expire on Nov 11th (not to sure if you can still play it after that, or its just the dl link is gonna go away).

I must be missing something, what did I say ?)

whoaaa...directions on how to make a jpn psn account PLEEAAZZEE? I love GT and I love TopGear!!

Download? Where to? Fill up the WHOLE HDD with the episodes? Would take a very long time to download. Is there a torrent application? Because if not, WHERE is all the download bandwidth going to come from?

And if torrent... ooohh, that would be a difficult precedent for the law courts. LOL

Because Sony's still trying to convince ppl that their console has the best graphics in the world.

Damn... i want a PS3 and this game more than ever (DOES THIS MEAN THERES A KOENIGSEGG CCX?!!?? >=D)

Is that an Ariel Atom I spy?

as a PC driving sim fan I really like gt5p demo.

lol follow through is also know that if you fart and simultaniously shit yourself, that is follow through :roll::roll:

yup, its the one with a supercharged honda type-r motor (b16 I believe)

hey guys quick question, in gt5p demo is the only car available to be driven the new skyline?
