Where is the F1 series you mentioned? wink.gif

I think you're going a bit cuckoo over there. No one mentioned an F1 series. All that will be in GT5 is a few F1 cars. Remember, we have an actual F1 game coming out this month. They're not going to have the official game come out, and then put the entire series in another game two months later.

I think you're going a bit cuckoo over there.

Let's keep the personal attacks out of this thread please. Until then, I won't reply to your posts. Thanks.

This would be sweet!

From the video description:

A prototype Gran Turismo 5 trailer designed for British TV screens in October 2010. This was created by a friend of mine who works at Saatchi & Saatchi and sent to me on 3rd September. It was revealed as a leaked GT5 trailer. After some questioning it has now become apparent this is NOT the final TV trailer. The final version will be heavily edited, this was in fact simply a concept version. Expect the final advertisement to come complete with new footage.

New damage screenshots!

These screens come courtesy of two GTPlanet members from the Best Buy demo. One of the members said he'll go back later and take better pictures with a digital camera. He said he might even take his Canon EOS 5D Mark II, but he doesn't want to attract attention. :p

Amazon are being cheeky. When you pre-order something, you expect it to get to you by the release date. If you're not guaranteed it, cancel your order and order it somewhere else, which is what I'd do if I pre-ordered with Amazon. It's $60, which is where everyone else will be charging, although someone may charge a bit less.

Speaking of which, I'm starting to regret cancelling my pre-order with ShopTo ages ago, as I had it for ?32 back then, and now they're charging ?38. Nevertheless, I shall remain a tight git and buy it when it gets cheap. :p

BTW, if anyone still wants to pre-order it in the UK, Coolshop is the cheapest place I've found so far, at ?36.99.

EDIT2: The only good thing for me is my copy will ship to arrive on 1/11/2010 (3 days before the official Australian release date of Nov 4) - with EB Games, they are fantastic at delivering on time! (even early sometimes, my Xbox 360S arrived a day before it was officially released!)

So not fair, here in Australia the standard edition of GT5 is costing me AUD$118* (~USD$108 / ~GBP£70) highway robbery! (and you can see why I'm not bothering for the signature edition, that is AUD$299!!). Don't get me wrong, this is one of the few games worth the steep RRP here in Australia but it still makes you feel sick knowing your counterparts overseas are paying almost half price for the same thing!

* = That is just the game, my copy is costing me more as you gotta factor in delivery and I took out delivery insurance as well (might as well, the game costs a fortune!).

:o My god. I just saw what AUD$118 is in GBP; ?70! I can see why Yahtzee was complaining now! And I thought we had it bad!

Yeah, we get it bad when it comes to games....some places have it going for just under AUD$100 (I think JB-HiFi has it for ~AUD$98) but I have bad experience with them, so I decided to go with EB Games and their higher price. Sure it's costing me $20+ more but EB don't screw you around and they deliver on time (and sometimes even earlier) every time :) and provide delivery insurance! which is handy.

Ouch! We can get the collectors edition for ?60 over here at the moment, I think I will be going with that although would love to get teh Signature edition so will keep my eyes open for any reasonable prices on it!

OT : Happy Birthday AB :)

    • Happens to the best of us, bro. 😛 
    • Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Why does this kind of tactic not surprise me?
    • They used AI based TOOLS to convert the JavaScript engine (the main rendering engine is still C++) and it was not fully automated but was human reviewed. Other subsystems will be looked into to also be converted to Rust in the future. I have no problem with any of that.
