There are 189 songs in total in Soundtrack Library of the game, including glorious selection of Classic music, but there is no "Moon Over the Castle" to be found anywhere. It will be a shame if it does not appear later (maybe after Ending Credits or something, only time will tell - since fan-editing of the intro-movie pretty strongly implied that it is edited for MOTC).

Also, this is plain cool

Cars Love Gran Turismo 5 Too!

If you thought the first Japanese TV commercial for Gran Turismo 5 - the one with the toy cars - was fun, it's more fun when the toys are swapped out for dozens of real cars.

I lost count of the number of different cars I saw in this ad, but suffice to say, it's a lot. Nowhere near as many as will be in the game, true, but for a single stretch of Japanese motorway it still an impressive tally.

Gran Turismo 5 will be out next week, which is a sentence that feels good to be typing out.

Got my pre-order in with Best Buy - managed to snag the standard edition of the game for ?29.99 delivered! :)

Same here! (Thanks, AB!) :) The 10% off code didn't work for me, but I don't care; it's still the cheapest deal! :D

I just need to ring up Blockbuster and cancel my order. Unfortunately, I'm currently in college, and I'm here until 6pm. Same story tomorrow. Hopefully, they'll let me use the reception desk phone at lunchtime. :p

I got my order in quite early but never noticed the 10% deal until after I'd placed the order. DOH :)

Nevermind.. still the best deal I've seen so not complaining!

The deal lasted longer than I expected! It looks like it came to attention at around 8am this morning, and I didn't read about it until about half 9 this morning in college. Still, I got my order in, so I'm not complaining. :p

Watch this GT5 review as it unfolds:

http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=132738

Definately going to need its own thread, I forsee people going wild with pictures, so containing it to one place and not the official topic would be much better.

Does anyone in specific want to start the official photo/video thread? I would be happy to if nobody else is interested.

Still working on that whole setup, will look a lot better once finished. Been a while since I actually did any work on it though. Attention span of a brick :(

After reading more of that review, I am tempted to postpone my order to see if any of the concerns change. Hmmmm..

Edit: Since my Fanatec is broke, and the budget doesn't afford a new one, I will just get a G27 instead. No postpone needed.

I couldn't be bothered upgrading to the collectors edition (currently pre-ordered the standard edition) because it was too much effort to change it (required to call them up and cancel my current pre-order) yeah I'm that lazy :p however, EB Games are giving people who ordered the standard edition of the game, the 6 stealth cars that come with the sig edition....now I'm not so bothered about being stuck with the standard edition now :p :happy:

Being honest my view on wheels is that unless you have a dedicated games room then they take up too much room to be used all the time unfortunately.

You are 100% correct. I bought my wheel and tried it on a folding table, useless. I bought a Play-seat. It folds up pretty good and doesn't take up much space. It makes a world of difference but does cost some coin.

Amazon had free shipping on it.

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
