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.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
