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

It's gone back to ?29.99 on their website, but says it's sold out - http://www.bestbuyentertainment.co.uk/games/platforms/ps3/gran-turismo-5-gt5/10042564.html

Me and Pheee got it for ?26.99 rofl.gif

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.

I want a wheel (with chair and all that) but don't have enought space or energy to fight to make space for it with my wife. :( I wanted a chair eversince gt3.

Just do what I did (or something similar) :laugh:

Can all be put away before "she" gets home :whistle:

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.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
