Gran Tourismo 5 is finally out

[URSIMPO]

All I've got to buy now is some Red Bull and expresso coffee - it's gonna be a late one!!

I bought a PS3 in 2007 when the game was first due for release. then it got postponed until 2008 and I sold the console.

3 years on and its finally out. I might have to go out and get another console!

Sainsburys has a console for £199 at the mo!

Got this morning curtesy of play.com. Takes a flippin' long time to load though and Ross had to clear some space on the hardrive. Time to buy a new PS3 me thinks. (Newer models have more memory space)

Can't believe it's finally here!

/Takes 4eva for everyone to load mate...it's been 4 hours and im sstill waiting (nearly done tho) better be worth it.

No ur quattro. No chance o a S2 then

[tommyboy]

thats when the updates arrive

[Barber]

well on gran turismo 4 they had the lancia S4, peugeot T16, ford rs 200, and a ur quattro but even then I wanted to know where the chuff the S1 was! there better a decent audi, I'm hoping you'll be able to unlock an S1 or something in the rally championship, but I think the games mint, it puts every other racing game to shame imo

Apparently there are over 10,000 cars in total (about 9,000 of which will become available as updates), these include S2 in both Coupe and avant form, and a rally spec S2. RS2 also listed.

I bought my copy from HMV, and I didn't notice that in the bag were two vouchers. These had codes that I could redeem online and unlock cars - so now in my garage I have: an Audi R10 tdi, and Honda NSX GT500 !! I entered them in to the Sunday Cup!!
Also, I'm finding the loading times are too long, however to speed things up, just disconnect from the net, and everything will work quicker.

Oh dear... I have to buy a console now

[montez]

Here is the official list of cars on the game which are included in the initial release,
The Audi ur Quattro is on there I just think you either have to win it or buy it from
the second hand dealerships.
