I installed an SSD in the PS3 yesterday as i wasnt happy with the loading times. Much happier now :)





That Viper is a very good buy, only $100k from the dealer and its incredibly fast... Its also incredibly loud and spits alot of fire in replays. Great to watch!

Looks like I need to upgrade my PS3's HDD. My old original 60GB is not cutting it.

is it fairly safe to upgrade the HDD? I have the 40GB (the old backwards compatible)

an SSD would help loading times a lot, maybe a 320 or so.

Once you take the picture in game go to the photo section in GT5 and export to the photos to XMB, then just copy from XMB using a USB stick and upload it on PC.

That's a pretty interesting article, only 2 FPS dropped from 720 - 1080 because of the drop in AA...

Yeah i was surprised to read that. Imho playing in 720p on my 1080p screen results in a better frame rate, less tearing and better IQ (Especially shadows) compared to playing in 1080p. 720p for me :)

I was looking at your stats in game this morning Mustang, you're making good progress. I was just working the K cup in begginer with my little 80hp engine.

I hear unlocking the full nurburgring is golds on the 2nd amg challenge. Can any1 confirm this?

@3870x2 HDD replacement is as easy as pie. All you need is a small phillips screw driver to remove the blue screw holding the hdd rails in place. Any laptop sized SATA hard drive will do.

10 est works for me, ill be there.

i'll be on a bit earlier, as today will be my first boot of the game :)

Ah boo, id like to come. but im going to a party at 8 to get wasted. I was considering organizing for next saturday or sunday, early afternoon maybe so we can include the europeans

Dissapointing that this, of all cars, isnt a premium model :mad:

Anyone beat the intermediate top gear challenge? That damn lotus oversteers and spins out a retarded amount. Apparently it just takes practice and easyness on the brake/gas

this game is a lot of fun. the car details are very nice and i really enjoy the tracks. however, i wish they would change the way the events deal with race restrictions. for instance, currently you load up a race to find out that you dont have the right car. it gives you a list of cars that you can get. then you have to go back to the dealership and pray your car is available. :laugh: they should instead have it that when it pops up the list of cars you can use you get a link to the dealership for that car. that way you can buy it right away instead of having to search around for it and waste time jumping around screen while it loads.
