Game looks stunning but the music in this game is complete and utter trash - Sounds like something that'd come out of a Fisher Price toy.

One thing that chokes me up a little is not being able to play my own music in-game. I realize that this is an age-old discussion, but racing games are really the one type of game where I love having the ability to play my own stuff while in-game. Especially considering most racing game soundtracks only have a very small amount of songs that I like (or sometimes even no songs that I like).

That video of the Photo Travel mode looks interesting, though. I imagine that people with some working knowledge on photography are going to enjoy that. Personally, it was a little too much information for my feeble brain to process. I need a preset that says "Make picture look good" :p .

You can play your own music in GT5 :p

So from the Car Service menu I would assume that means we can't do much with the non-premium cars.

Though in case I missed it, do we know if we can import our GT5P Saves for extra money or cars etc?

Can import cars from GT5P and GTPSP for use in Arcade mode I believe.

That is the best gaming news I've heard all month. That might make me sound like a bit of a dork, but I love playing my own stuff in racing games. Thanks for the heads up :).

And damn, that shot of the Mercedes AMG in the city is gorgeous. That one on the track in the sunlight is nice too (though I'm a sucker for bright, sunny gaming environments).

Is the best place to pre-order the regular version of the game Play.com ? There are two free DLC cars if you pre-order with them.. can't see any such incentives with the other main retailers.

Cheers.

Is anyone else having trouble trying to order it from Blockbuster? It keeps getting the verification stage (where your bank asks you for certain letters of your password), it's entered correctly, it's processing, then every time, I get this message:

Sorry, we were unable to take payment from your card.

If the problem persists, please contact customer services on the number provided quoting reference number DM100.

I've already rang them up, and they said they'll call me back. That was about a quarter of an hour ago. If they fail to get back to me, I'll have to go with ShopTo then. I've still got my pre-order with Jack of All Games at the moment, but I'm having second thoughts about them.

Managed to order it with Blockbuster now, so I'm definitely getting it now. :)

I'm tempted to buy the Logitech Driving Force GT later on. The cheapest (new) place I've seen it is at Game and Amazon for ?79.99 (if I get it soon though, I'll go with Amazon, as I'm currently on the Prime free trial, so free next day delivery! :) ). Anyone know a cheaper place to get it (don't mind it second-hand)? That's the main thing putting me off so far; the price. The next thing is I don't have a proper place to clamp it down to while playing; just a workbench. :p

looks awesome... so how do we upload the pics? Does GT5 have a server or something?

They export to the XMB.

Videos automatically upload to youtube, but the online part of GT5 isn't enabled yet.

    • Brave Browser 1.91.168

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.168 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.168 changelog: Web3 Added “Get Started” section to the “Portfolio” page. (#54029) Added the ability to view “Asset Distribution” in “Portfolio”.

(#55842) Fixed reloading an account tab redirecting to the “Accounts” page. (#54826) Leo Added support for text file uploads with renderer-based extraction. (#54062) Added PDF text extraction at upload time. (#51911) Updated display of Brave Leo attachment previews to scroll horizontally instead of vertically. (#54258) Updated the “Copy” button for the code block header to be sticky when scrolling. (#53704) Updated the staged content in the Leo side panel to be the active tab. (#53533) Updated the search terms in the answer’s footer to be left aligned. (#54204) Fixed crash which could occur in certain cases when using multiple tool requests. (#55438) General Added support for Brave Origin. (#37127) [Security] Added the ability to disable or delay automatic extension updates when brave://flags/#brave-user-extension-auto-update is enabled. (#7200) Enabled ability to force context menu using “Shift + Right Click” by default. (#54790) Improved performance by caching adblock DATs.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      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.
