hoping to get back early from work tomorrow to go get it

Harvey Normans were doing a pre-order price of €47
As far as I know XtraVision and HMV are coming around the €49 mark

no

Booked my copy today in Gamestop I cant wait to get it now traded in a few games so only cost me 20 quid

Paparazzo · 23-11-2010 9:53pm

no

Had no one got it early?

turbobaby · 23-11-2010 9:55pm

Is it just me or does everyone think it looks slow and boring from the videos released so far?

... and I'm more of a fan of F1 than the Need for Speeds etc

Tap the wheel to the left or right and the car screeches with plenty of understeer.

amacachi · 23-11-2010 9:56pm

I'll not be getting it. Had it been out this time last year I may have but since I would need a wheel as well I really can't justify the outlay.

Essien · 23-11-2010 10:05pm

I've had it an hour and I'm dangerously close to firing it out the window.

- I tried to install it, just as it began it said 20 mins remaining, so I though nice one, I'll catch the Chelsea match til half time and be ready to go. Switched back at Half time and it had seemingly frozen about 25% of the way in.:mad:

- On the main screen where I select between GT Mode and Arcade mode I keep getting a pop up telling me the time and date settings are wrong (which they aren't) and that I should check it.

- In GT Mode you have to "design" your lounge/homepage. You are prompted to do this every time you enter your lounge (This includes every time you browse back into it having looked at races available, your garage, cars for sale etc, these are all features within your lounge) and even though I set it every time it keeps saying "Cannot connect to server" which means I have to do it again the next time I enter the lounge. Now it's not a long process or anything, quite the opposite, it just doesn't be long getting irritating when you have to do it every time, FTR it also saves it every time too adding another 6-7 seconds to the delay.

- The fact that I haven't been able to install it means race loads times are ludicrous, so FYI install it first time when you get it.

I'm gonna get back to finding some positives here before I head off in an hour or so

Ha, good answer. That is alot, I know it was announced it was going be 150 upward but thats a big price tag, you do get a hell of alot for it though.

As you said, its GT, so spending that bit extra will be worth it, i have a Collector's Edition on hold in Gamestop so cant wait to pick it up, im expecting to pay about 65-80 quid for it but dont care :pac:

spider_pig · 24-11-2010 10:48am

no

hmv are selling this for €44.99 gamestop told me €55 so save your self a tenner

im heading in now and when i get back i wont be seen out side the door again for ages lol

macpac26 · 24-11-2010 10:49am

no

Ah yeah happy days that Collectors Edition looks great too. Can't believe it's release day! After years of waiting. Got my DFGT lined up for tonight. It'll be a late one!!

Kev_ps3 · 24-11-2010 10:49am

Essien · 24-11-2010 2:03pm

Really getting into it now and can see this taking up a good bit of my time. Absolutely loving the Go-Karts!:D The first challenge on the Top Gear test track is some bitch, driving camper vans around in a line, I couldn't get past 8th or 9th, never mind first

Kintarō Hattori · 24-11-2010 2:28pm

no

Copy arrived first thing this morning in the post from Gamesnash- thanks guys. Unbelievably my missus is in work late tonight which doesn't normally happen so I'll have a whole evening to play around with this. Looking forward to it big time.

spider_pig · 24-11-2010 2:39pm

no

does your car for online races depend only on the car you've bought in the game...?
im stuck with a piece of shiit toyota top speed of 80mph (down hill) it sounds like its about to explode id be laughed at goin online with the thing

spider_pig · 24-11-2010 5:52pm

no

has any one been able to go online i get into a room then the host doesn't start up the match i do be sittin there for ages and then im unable to leave and have to switch the game off and on again

ongarite · 24-11-2010 7:41pm

Installing the game now, can't wait. This is not going to be a game for those who instant action & gratification.
Lots of time needed to level up to unlock tracks, cars & mechanical damage.

The DFGT wheel is €99 in GAME & Argos, very tempted to pick it up.

Kev_ps3 · 24-11-2010 7:55pm

There's a part of me that doesn't want to put in the disk until I get a wheel config in place. Then a part of me looked at my bank details and that little part died a little.
