    cheers all for making this an interesting thread !


    i got home there about 35 mins ago and the game is installing since then... 5 mins left on screen buts its only half way... its a waiting game !

    all the stuff about slow menus and what not... that should iron itself out the more you use them and they more they install ! (or so i've heard)


    but any who i cant wait to get cracking in career mode and get licenses and what not and enjoy the game... i honestly dont care for reviews cos everyone is different and i have my own opinions on this !

    see y'all on the track !

    I saw my own car in the second hand dealer and went to do a couple of races to get enough money to buy it but when I went back it was gone. Any idea how the second hand dealer refresh works? Is the selection fairly limited or am I going to have to check back 100 times before I see the car I want again?

    Can anyone confirm you use your own music playlists?

    Yeah, the second hand dealer is a pain in the ass. The cycle for rare cars can be huge if its anything like previous GT's. I'm still waiting for a decent pre 80's Jap car to complete the beginner events. There was nothing for days and then a sh¦te 69 Isuzu appears.

    I wonder if the days progress when you're doing the licences. I actually really enjoyed the first set. Got all golds eventually.

    Do any of the game shops sell anything like a frame for a steering Wheel? I wanna get a wheel but have nothing to attach it to.

    Was playing GT mode for a while. Bought a Celica. (Jaysus) Did the first licence but what is the story with not being able to control the car in races?

    Do you have to get to a certain level or what? Kinda pissed me off a bit.

    Driving force GT. Its sturdy enough but i have to midify it a small bit with a saw because the center of gravity changes massivly when the wheel is clamped on to the very edge so it knocks over easily.

    Ill saw off a small bit so the wheel is clamped closer to the stand/center of gravity so it wont fall over as easily.

    Plenty of room too for your legs/ pedals and your height wont be a problem as its fully height and tilt adjustable.
