Are you referring to Game or EbGames, and were you able to buy the special edition? I asked my local Lkjøp but they said "aldri i i verden".

Tried to win it with the Euro Sport version you get from one of the Beginner cups. Even with cheating-est driving, I couldn't win it with that car, the AI flew past me on every straight, despite some aggressive blocking.

I had to put a turbo on my Vitz to win the race, it was frustrating before hand though because I'd be in first place heading onto the final straight and by the time I got over the line I was in 5th.

Same here. I don't think it is possible to win it with the stock Vitz you win. You have to upgrade it somewhat.

Just read the 300+ replies in this thread, and not a single word about Split Screen and Network Play ... I would like confirmation if it's an either/or thing, or if Split Screen drivers can compete in Network races. Thanks.

Only the 24th here, gotta wait till Thursday for my very own copy. < gnash teeth >

A coworker who took this whole week off for the holiday just stopped by the office to give me his copy of GT5. I totally forgot he won it in that Subway challenge. He doesn't have a PS3.

Guess I don't have to wait until 12 AM to play after all.

You have no idea man, I ordered through amazon.com (not .ca) so I could use the 60 bucks they credited my account due to an overpayment on export fees when I got my Kindle. Now, apparently release date delivery isn't available for international orders, so it ships on the twentysixth, arriving sometime before Dec. 6

It makes me honestly a little sad. I feel genuine sadness about a video game. Curse you, kazunori


edit: it's unfortunate that for someone who loves cars so much, kaz shares his name with something that is just the worst http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclope...s/idea_kaz.html

Yeah, went there around 11:30 today and they had 3 copies on the shelf. When I brought it up to the cash the guy scanned it and some error msg popped up that said something about not selling the game yet. He just cleared that and went ahead with the transaction.

Yes but not in the way you're probably imagining. Your friend has a 'public' driver and you set up a race with your friend's driver. (So he kinda did nothing) then his driver earns XP for participating in the race you put him in.


*IF I understand it correctly.

Your co-worker is a great human being.

Does anyone expect there to be any problem for the unprepared such as myself that didn't pre-order it? I want to simply walk in and pick up a copy from either Best Buy, Target, or Gamestop.

I've never had any issues finding games at Target, Wal-Mart, or K-Mart. If you can't find it somewhere like this, then there's a problem. GameStop purposefully buys fewer copies, I think, I don't know what their deal is.

You won't have a problem, I'd be shocked if one of those places will be sold out but if you hit 2 you have 100% chance of success.

It did that to me when the servers were still being weird. Went away after I restarted but that may have been a coincidence. For me it wouldn't let me quit that screen until I deleted the welcome message I had typed.

The exhaust... I thought I had ripped my speakers' fabric...but nope, that's just how it sounds.

To be fair, this is pretty much how RX-7s (or any rotary-engined car) sound like IRL. A common description is "chainsaw on crack".

Also, Amazon says mine shipped already, come on UPS guy don't fail me tomorrow!

$69.99 at Future Shop at the till when I preordered on Friday and $59.99 on the website... I doubt there'll be a problem to get the difference back when I pick it up tomorrow though.
