Dude it says "collector's edition" in big red letters on the box.

Got the game. Bought a miata to start off with. My brother cut me off, because we have to play in turns. Argh he counted the 1 hour install as turn time :hitler:

Hmm I only did the first 6 or so rounds of License B. I got gold on like 2 sliver on 2 and the rest bronze, not really trying, I wanted to do as many as possible.

So far I can say the graphics are nothing like GT4, they arent sharp as those were. Also cars look funky, I think its my tv's aspect ratio though. Also I love how you can feel the understeer, and I dont know about oversteer yet... havnt driven a fast car on it yet

What kind of PS3 steering wheel do you guys use?

I want to try the GT Academy, but I think I need a steering wheel.

You should be able to oversteer in a miata. If you can't, you're either playing with the nannies on or the physics suck.

(no, i don't have t-rex arms, i retract the wheel when not in use so it doesn't block the TV)

Damn, that must have been expensiveeeeee

[kamotors]

This game loads soooo long:(

[KillaCams]

Damit i need to buy a ps3 now, can anyone confirm this is better than forza 3 by enough of a margin to justify buying a ps3?

[5Toes]

PS3 has Blu-Ray... free online, bigger hard-drive, its a great system

My ae86 Levin looks like they were lazy with the texture but every other car I've driven is sexy as hell.
For a quick high, play arcade, cote de la sarth time change, in a cobra!

How much did the collectors edtion cost you?

[NigelStu]

$100 for CE. my E30 key now resides on the GT fob... :D


Reasons to buy PS3:
1 - GT5 rocks. So far, pretty happy with it. I think better physics than Forza. I bought a PS3 for this game. Then bought an XBOX to play Forza 2/3 until GT5 came out... lots of time in Forza land. Graphics look great. AI seems to actually be better? time will tell on that one.

2 - if you don't have a blue-ray player, this works for it.

3 - its not as sexy as the wii. oh wait. that doesn't help. But since you can't get the ad girls anyway, the PS3 itself looks better....

So you are saying the graphics in GT4 are better than in GT5? LOL.

[5Toes]

No, the graphics are worlds better. What Im saying, is that it is a different "style" of graphics. You know what I mean?
