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 :)

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
