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. :(

    • 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.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
