Xerxes Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I picked it up this afternoon, I had to go hunting for it though. It's awesome! I can't wait too hook it up to my 24" monitor (I know it still "small" but it can do GT5P in all it's 1080p glory, currently only playing in at 720p on a 22" monitor) and plug in my steering wheel on the weekend! (I just have the Logitech Driving Force which I got for GT4, not the best wheel out there but it works well and it was cheap :p) It's gonna be a good weekend I think :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynnoj Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm never impressed with play.com's delivery times. Normally around 3-5 days. It can be slow, but I'm not that desperate for Prologue so I can wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiracyX Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 They have the PS3 + GT5p bundle in stock so they haven't sold out. I was on the lookout for a PS3 for awhile now and i can get this bundle for ?284.99 from play.com. I am tempted really, but i won't recieve it until next week? I might aswell go into GAME tomorrow and buy one with my ?10 gift card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thread Cleaned I had to delete 35 friken off posts from this thread. This thread is not to discuss what you like/dislike about their sales tatics, or if they are taking Microsoft's strategy; it is about preordering the game. If you want to discuss your opinion, make your own thread. Anymore offtopic garbage will be deleted and the poster warned. I don't care if you are merely replying to it, you are fueling the fire. Report the post and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 This was an email from game.co.uk yesterday. Hopefully it will arrive today, a day early. They normally do from Game anyway. Shame I cannot get the tracker on their site to work so I can find out where it is :( my copy arrived this afternoon from game but you don't want it yet really, too many people downloading the update = sloooooooooooooooooooow lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted March 27, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 27, 2008 My friend decided to text me and whatever time it was this morning to throw the fact that his pre-order had come in this morning, lucky git. I hope he chokes on the plastic wrapping. :p They have the PS3 + GT5p bundle in stock so they haven't sold out. I was on the lookout for a PS3 for awhile now and i can get this bundle for ?284.99 from play.com. I am tempted really, but i won't recieve it until next week? I might aswell go into GAME tomorrow and buy one with my ?10 gift card. It means they have sold out of the game on its own, bundles are separate. They can't move games back and forth between the bundle and selling the game on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rofl, why is it Sony's fault? They can't make unlimited copies of a game you know, and supply every single retailer with thousands upon thousands of copies. Pity about them running out though, nice of them to offer a little something off another game even if you aren't going to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity about them running out though, nice of them to offer a little something off another game even if you aren't going to use it. assuming it was the number of copies, if they had more than one batch delivered, one of the batches could have been held up for any traffic reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Update for GT5 ?? mine hasn't showed anything about an update :s there is 2.20 firmware update for the actual console but thats not for the game You may already have it then, does it say Gran Turismo 5: Prologue Spec II in the top left hand corner of the screen in the main menu? if it does, you got the update already. One of the significant things the update brings is the abilty to turn ABS completely off (in previous GTs you could never turn it off, even when you thought it was off it really wasn't :p) so if you brake too hard your wheels lock up. Forza fans have taken this for granted as they've had it since word go, but now GT fans can finally drive their cars without ABS if they so choose (which of cause adds to the challenge).

Yeah, very professional. It sucks though, because even with the discount, GTA isn't as cheap as Amazon with first class P&P :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

]SK[ Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Has anyone else managed to download the update for GT5 yet? Mine kept breaking at random parts of the download.

.KICK Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Not sure why people are buying what is basically a demo? I can't believe there is still no damage, don't give me the bull about licence issues because PGR and Forza manage fine with it no problems. Bumping into other cars at 100 mph and just bounce off, proper realistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynnoj Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I know. Then why did you imply in your previous post that it can't be sold out as you've just bought a copy from GAME? Not sure why people are buying what is basically a demo? I can't believe there is still no damage, don't give me the bull about licence issues because PGR and Forza manage fine with it no problems. Bumping into other cars at 100 mph and just bounce off, proper realistic? You're a couple days too late, you already missed the anti-Prologue party. Go troll elsewhere.
