He he he, there are a load of people that got the game early complaining that after the patch the game can hang for up to 10 minutes before it says "Connection to the server could not be established" or something along those lines. No shit Sherlock, the game isn't supposed to be released until tomorrow!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
We'll be able to play it without the patch, right?
yes though you might have to turn internet off or just say no when it asks to install (after update)
Damn have to set up wheel. Can't turn yet but found horn. Sadly your unable to break barriers and run over the crowd
Gotta get used to this wheel. Spazzed out just when i was doing slightly better then crap. Max speed 66mph down a short straight..up until the crash i was just flyingYes. Even with the patch, if you sign out of PSN, it will not be a problem I would expect.
So sign out of PSN before I try and play?
If you have a patch installed, yes. Until they get the servers sorted - which will be tomorrow. Prologue would ask you if you wanted to sign in to PSN if you were not. Believe it or not, lots of people are not interested in online gaming at all and don't even have their PS3s connected to the Internet.
I understand
But I dont want to be connected to the PSN when I turn the game on, for it to try and install a patch, then for me to sign out and on the basis of me being signed in previously trying to make me Login, if ya get me

Ok, make sure that you are signed out then and install the patch tomorrow.
I'm just being a pedantic arse aren't I
The Japanese intro as Polyphony Digital wanted it.
Mine arrived. Gonna play it for a bit tonight and will spalsh out on a wheel if it's half decent.
I drive like a cnut. I just did rome best lap 6:24.814 nice views mind you streets narrow. Actually i beat that just 4:33 and i over took some before crashing....on purpose -sigh-
Getting better. Original circuit (high speed ring) - best lap 2:29:670 in a 500F '68. To be fair it's max is about 57 and you can drive comfortable in fourth gear. I definately recommend a wheel. It really adds to the game. The only frustrating part for me is when you crash/reversing because for whatever reason i've not gotten good at doing it properly.

While you swines are playing this, I'm stuck doing 1:35s on Suzuka in Prologue with the F1 2007. For some reason can't go any faster 
even though I have done it faster before.

you're going to have fun weaste. What wheel you got?
I don't personally have a wheel, the missus won't allow it.
I'm kinda shocked. What i'd do is take the wheel out of her car (if she has one) and when she's sat in it looking confused, hand her a ps3 duelshock and let her mull over the error of her ways for a bit.
She basically says "you're not bringing more junk into this house"......
It's annoying, because I know that I could do around a 1:30 with a wheel. 1:35 is 7 seconds off the best time recorded online and gives you around 16,000th spot! I know that I'm nowhere skilled enough to get 1:28, or get into the top 1000, but 16,000th spot is bugging me!

Just buy a wheel (the gt because it's best for Gt5 apparently) and only use it on special occasions ie when she's sodded off. Well worth it. I don't know what you can get away with but honestly i'd fob her off. It's like being a kid again finding porn hehe. "How did that get there?" - "That isn't mine!" and if she finds it and has it in her hands, "I can't believe you bought me a wheel!That's it no ifs or buts we're going to dinner and i'm paying 1/2!"
Twist it, get away with it and have fun weate. Why not?

that's me. I have auto-sign in turned off.*
*Mostly because it was upsetting Spammy one time when my internet conecttion was wigging out, the big scouse girl's blouse.
Patch installed, installing full game data now
I forgot to sign out, it installed no bother

The Stig in GT5 this further cements this game's awesomeness! Can't wait for tomorrow now!
When will the reviews begin to surface?
I played this today, but because I don't have a clue about gaming, nor about cars my opinion isn't very helpful. And the last Gran Turismo game I played was the third one. So really I just wanted to say that I've played it.
Mine's been dispatched and should be here tomorrow!
Karts are so much fun!!
8:01 tomorrow, apparently Sony have purposely made sure no reviews are released before the actual game is.
Review out on dagbladet.no
I love that I decided to travel for Thanksgiving on the day before the game arrives so I'll be without it all weekend.
A known and respected French gaming site already released it's review, according to GT Planet. 7/10
Thats fairly underwhelming
Mine's been dispatched and should be here tomorrow!
Yet it's still not been reviewed.
You will get results like that considering the short amount of time the reviewers have had available to actually play the game. And then you will also get the reviews that mark it low in order to go against the grain and get hits. Then the added bonus of those that don't quite get what Gran Turismo games are all about.
That not to say its not a 7/10 game though, who knows without playing it but I very much doubt I will be dissapointed by it.
Test de Gran Turismo 5 sur Playstation 3
The translation isn't mine. A lot of it is a matter of perspective, I take it GT fans won't be very disappointed - the GT "feel" is there and it's all they want - but the average gamer, not particularly into the franchise already, might think it has too many shortcomings for all the hype that has been created.
I still need to play it myself mind, these are basically opinions I "borrowed" from the GT Planet forums.
I love these comments:
This guy is seriously moaning about the amount of cars IN a game?
Duh, why are you racing with an outside view anyway.
Too realistic for some then.
Karts arn't a good idea boys oh and he can't control the rally cars.
Overall that reviewer has clearly jumped in expecting to be able to run before he can walk just in order to push a review out in time for the release.

It's not a respected website, and I told you so!
Probably just like that Gamespot "racing expert" bloke yesterday that also played with the chase camera view and also found that he couldn't drift as he could in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Really?
The gave GT5 Prologue 15/20 - GT5 the real deal is obviously worse.
Get yourself in that Blu Ray thread and explain to MJS that rear projections are shit.
