Picking it up tomorrow arv.

Only thing that will be stopping me playing it all weekend is work and motocross :D
 

PINT of Stella. mate!

Many, many Scotches
That's the f***er installing. Time for a beer! and a towel. I'm like a drowned rat here!

EDIT: Ok, it takes an absolute lifetime to install. 1 hr and 15 minutes for me (although I'm dealing with an old skool 40Gb console).

If I can recommend anything so far. it would be to hold off watching the intro until you've had at least 2 or 3 spliffs or a couple of bongs. It's f***ing trippy. Basically it's all HD footage of minerals being mined, transported, then forged into steel then stamped into bodywork then passed down the production line (kinda like the bullet in the intro to Lord of War if you've ever seen it) until it winds up as a GT-R. All to a soundtrack of the trippiest piano-jazz! Not quite what I was expecting.

HAve also completed first race. it's a 1990 G20 (no I have no idea either) that I bought 2nd hand. It was in the sunday cup and after having spent the last few weeks playing F1 2010 it was actually quite peaceful to cruise round a track at a speed more commonly associated with continental drift.

Looks good so far!

Fuck all you bastards, get a life and go riding this weekend! hahaha
I am out at Newton's Nation tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, weekend jam-packed with DH, a bunch of other extreme sports, oh, forgot to mention, BLISS N ESO LIVE!
Looks like I won't be getting GT5 for a while, will just wait until the price drops in about a month or so. Need to save my $$$ for a new camera anyway.

It's installing now...

Seriously... it is the biggest excitement killer when you buy a new game and there's a huge install to do.

Now I'm bored as waiting for it to be done.

I also bought Black Ops, but it'll sit on the ground for a few days before I play it. GT5 first!

Wow, what a poor excuse Ty. Do a couple of runs then bail. Bliss n Eso suck balls anyway, you'll be over them after one tune.:p

WOW the physics WOW. Oversteer as you plant it out of corners in the AE86 is so awesome, I love this game and I don't give a damn about rims now.

Hmmmm, GT5 may just be enough of a prompt for me to get a PS3...........thinking cap on..........:)

Are there any of the usual console plus game deals for it when they get big new games?

Check this out mate. It's a pretty damn good deal.

$599 for the slim console, GT5, NFS Carbon, FIFA '10, One controller and a HDMI cable (A MUST). I don't think you'll find any better than that!

Just about to go pick up my copy!
