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.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
