Following on, just did some googling. Seems that PSN Plus members will get it at a discounted rate.

From US Blog

While you can buy individual DLC packs, you can also buy it all at once as a bundle for just $11.99. PlayStation Plus subscribers will also get a nice discount on the bundle for the first month of release – more details on that soon.

Hopefully will apply to the EU/UK too.

chances are is just because you did that red bull race that only has one car. so it would seem like it does load faster. do a race with 12 cars and it'll seem like nothing changed.

(Y) That is exactly why! Good call.

Ran into a glitch with the mid-race suspension! :pinch: I was doing the "9 Hours of Tsukuba" endurance race, was an hour in yesterday, suspended the race, came back to it today, and when I resume, the car's driving itself! Sounds awesome (which it was when it first happened), but the AI never goes into the pits, even when the fuel tank's empty, so if I left it as it was, the AI would be cruising along at 49mph for seven and a half hours with a 38 lap lead, which would probably be eradicated after another two hours.

So yeah, not happy that I had to abandon that race. :angry: I'm not gonna attempt an endurance race again until they fix that.

There's a boatload of information on the new DLC thanks to a diligent member over at GTPlanet who managed to unlock it all!

http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=227330

As you could obviously tell, all the DLC is bundled in the Spec II update, so we're just buying an unlock key for it. There's a lot of info and pictures there, so I won't link anything here. Keep an eye on the main post later on, as the guy's planning to update it with a bit more info later on.

For now though, here's a couple of videos (filmed from a mobile phone) of the Spa circuit in the Ferrari 2010 F1 car! :)

Had a few races last night with Fish and Jordan on Spa, was good fun, not too sure that I like the karting track though tbh. First time I have played online and quite hard to get used to making sure you don't get over the kerbs as the penalties pretty much kill your race. Looking forward to a few more though in similar spec cars.

Yeah, was good fun on Spa. :) Weirdly, I lost connection to the room halfway through a race, so I ended up just going on Demon's Souls; big mistake. :p

I will make sure to buy the DLC come my next payday, which is in about ten days. :)

Ooh, speaking of the DLC, Yankies (and Canucks), your "special bonus" has been announced! Buy the complete pack, and you'll also be getting a unique GT Academy dynamic theme, as well as the Honda NSX GT500 Stealth model, which was previously only available in the Signature Edition.

And for an added special bonus, everyone in North America can now get another Stealth car for free: the Nissan GT-R GT500 Stealth! Redeem this code in the PlayStation Store: RD69-FJN9-5N6Q

The code will be valid until January 30th 2012. And I'll try it myself in a minute just to make sure it's definitely North America-only. :p

EDIT: Confirmed; North America only. :(

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
