Toshiba shows off glasses-less 3D TVs
http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20018421-17.html

Still very pricey...but most importantly, small display screen n low resolution. But if they could improve it in the future, later 3D might be mainstream n a common feature.

off-track, off-track ...

Purposely stopped at 77.7% kah?
So, still wanna 100% complete it before GT5 takeover? Most probably not coz got PS3 oredi.

I'll boot up my GT4 also, 2nite ...

Added on November 20, 2010, 9:01 amI'm trying to get the SE also; so far, gamestation.co.uk had cancelled my pre-order yesterday coz they don't deliver over 1kg internationally. Should've inform me earlier or shouldn't allow me to proceed with the checkout. However, heheh ... that was a long shot, becoz its sister website, game.co.uk did state there, "No delivery to international addresses".
So now,trying from Australia n New Zealand online stores. Good luck in ur search as well. If successful, do inform us back here.

http://www.fishpond.co.nz/Games/PlayStatio.../9400564012142/ seems to have a 'bug' ... it'll give u a total of NZD319.90 when u select Malaysia as delivery country (including standard delivery), which is even cheaper than if delivered to NZ...not sure fishpond will honor the price or not coz according to few reviews,they don't in the past.

http://www.playtech.co.nz/afa.asp?idWebPag...16&ref=pricespy seems to have the lowest price, but only local delivery.

So, I guess u've ask chengkl8 (http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1593549) oredi?
Or since u said u r from Australia, deliver to ur relatives / frens there, ask them to help forward it to Malaysia lor...will take time tho.

Me too ... last GT4, I could afford to spend a lotta time on it coz I was only planting grapes at that time; n I even get less gold licenses than u, I think ...

Amar212's Q&A update:-
Woo hooo!!!! ... that's what I wanted to hear.
Here's to countless hours of Nürburgring.

Sorry bro ...
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1577932

Sorry sorry...misunderstood.
I see OFF the NET .. immediately I think dl.

Heheh ... Japanese/Chinese version oso u could played till 42.5% ...
That means, for GT4 you've played 120.2%!!!! ..... woah, hardcore.

Well, here's mine for GT4.

'Wasted' 1 months+, played everyday, more than 6hrs per day (A-Spec), 8hrs per day(B-Spec,24hrs Endurance Race~3x fast forward) ... in the end, still couldn't get 100%
BUT, definitely worth it.

Here's my GT4 game status ... don't wanna show it at first .. coz ... coz ... u'll see.


Didn't play GT3 much...coz wasn't really into it due to limited time n excess of other arcadey games available.
GT1 & 2, only played a bit a bit on friends' PS1.

I rather sekali 40~50mins suffer,than wait again during loading new tracks.If opt for dynamic install,if not enuf hdd space later,will it say "Sorry,not enough hard disk space.Please quit game and clear xxxxMb"? or will it delete previous install data (which mean it'll forever be installing for newer game sections e.g. like MGS4)? I think,better just allocate 10Gb n one time install. Of course, that dynamic install option is good for those who really really really can't wait a single extra minute more (no prawn Apex book to read).

I tried NFS:HP demo too...imho, even GT5P graphic is better than that.
GT5 has "500,000 polygons in each car"
http://venturebeat.com/2010/01/14/gran-tur...ct-racing-game/

And from GTPlanet forum (lazy to find the sos to verify the info now... )


Hmm ... more shaders than textures. I guess that's necessary for the real-time light reflections.
http://www.ps3center.net/news/4889/so-how-...gran-turismo-5/

But came across this article ... which I hope not true or had been improved.
http://www.playstationuniversity.com/gt5s-...t4-models-4028/

How did you improve your machine skill? I've done all the available B-Spec races, I think...left some challenges only...maybe gotta better tune the cars. Have to read back the FAQs.
I love the RPG-aspect of the game..n the B-Spec (reminds me of F1 Manager game) is a must (I can't imagine playing all the 24hrs races in A-Spec).

Btw, the GT3C & GT4P saved to PS1 memory cards?

For me, must have at least the Apex book. Looks very nice from the unboxing videos.
Standard R3 ... after 1st or 2nd batch kua ... when all the fans of GT5 have bought the special editions, shops still need to stock up on normal editions for non-fans(but like racing games) or new buyers or those who played too much till disc cracked/scratched.

Itu lah...kalo beli Signature Edition, buleh bilang sama bini :- "Abang tengah nak join competition ni ... hadiah pertama Mercedes! Adinda tak mau kah? Kalau mau, diam ... bagi abang latih."

Mine too ... phat white PS3 40Gb bought in 2008.
Sayang nak delete demo lama (mungkin tak dapat install lagi lain kali) n episode Qore (yg ni mungkin dapat download lagi,tapi malas nak cari balik serial no.)
Tapi ... GT5 is more important. That's the highlight/climax of a PS3 lifetime ... heheh ... (GT6 not yet confirm out for PS3, so can't include that yet).

Ya, cheap but still ... haih ... opportunity cost.

Yeap, yeap ... can lah, can sapu keluar until 10Gb clear ... delete all the stuff not related to GT, ok oredi.

If both r 2.5" hdd, then the external portable wan more expensive by its casing only (some branded 2.5" r even same price).
But external got 3.5" oh (with powered casing) ... RM200+, can get 1Tb compared to 500Gb 2.5" portable.

Actually, u r right oso ... all r internals ... just some branded externals r priced higher coz of special casing, functions, got one touch backup lah, etc.

Lexus LFA ... wanna drive ... wanna drive ... Premium or standard car? (Me don't want read thru the car list yet ... dun want disappointment if dun hav some)
Mati lah ... sure gonna spend hours in Photo Mode as well.

Err...where got say SE comes with GTR? I tot all SE comes with the SLS AMG.

Don't lah kasi konfuse sama newbies-who-just-popped-in-to-view-n-find-info-coz-GT5-is-cumming.

I think most who haven't pre-order,will be scouring for info on which edition to choose ... just see the 1st page leh ... Mr. evoHahn have compiled most info there.

Oredi shown on 1st page. Not CE, it's SE (Signature Edition)...goddamn expensive,but still feel must have it.

Beli beli ... jangan tak beli.

If me, I'll choose R3 LE ... coz R1 Normal/Standard Edition, anytime can buy in the future if have to. But Limited Edition, who knows how many batch they gonna print. Maybe it's a marketing gimmick, but maybe not ... wanna take the risk? The only thing is ... anyone who bought a lot of R3 games b4, is the disc really easier to hairline-crack kalau tak jaga baik-baik?

Ya lor...until there's confirmation that there's no MP region lock, then a list of which regions are we getting would be useful.
So, evo, abt the GT5 global server news, no updates? I'll scour for online news later.

A fren saying that his seller from JB got no more R3 LE in his stock, only Normal R3 ... which still cost RM185.

Myself, almost confirm getting R2 Signature Edition ... my elder sister helping to buy in NZ...but but ... surely will take time to deliver here. What to do .. I need the wallet n the pendrive ...

Anyone else getting SE? Those still interested but couldn't book from chengkl8, have to find other sellers or ask for relatives/frens to help buy in the countries where it's available lor. UK, game.co.uk & gamestation.co.uk is still cheapest I think, while in NZ it's playtech.co.nz ... At 1st I tot European GT gamers really fanatic until the SE will sold out ... but still available online. Dunno lor how many SE copies Sony gonna bungkus.

I'll still stick to R2. So, ur point is, no need for the region list for now?

Yeah, read ur post last night ... just asking if there's any follow-up, or we'll just have to wait for Sony's announcement? Playstation blog?

Sapo dulu kata KY hutang sama dia masa kerja kat Tesco dulu? So close buddy, KY tentu akan bagitau kalau paksa bocor rahsia.

Just now read this from http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010/11/22/...dition-unboxed/



So, the 5 DLC Chromed cars are only gonna be for the CE/LE/SE/the special editions lah ... good. Won't feel so bad spending so much n thinking that they'll be available on PSN for cheaper price next time.
Srsly tho, my main target is the Apex book .. unless that's gonna be sold on e-Bay/Lelong cheaply as well ....

Someone posted that he's getting SE as well in this thread earlier..but he's in UK. Surely there r more than few getting the SE...maybe they're too busy-ness to post here ... heheh. Yeah, main disadvantage of getting SE from overseas individually, is the even longer waiting time. Meanwhile, will stay away from this thread? No-lah, immuned to poisons oredi.

While DLC might still be based on region, I'm beginning to feel that the online multiplayer region lock is gonna be decided by Sony, not Polypony Digital. PD GT5 just provide the option/backbone, Sony maintain the server n they can switch between region lock or unlock whenever Sony calculate they need to do so due to sales/piracy/server load reasons ... PD surely don't want to lock it coz they want players to play with other players globally ... but Sony keluar the $60 million production ... so, it's their call. ... just my personal opinion.

Evo .. while dismissing the oohh-I'm-playing-GT5-very-soon news, sapa2 yg akan dapat GT5 lewat sikit, mari talk abt other things ...
..... who am I kidding ... I wanna play it now

Anyway,
http://us.gran-turismo.com/us/news/d5319.html
R1 got GT Academy, where the winner will be given a chance to be part of a professional racing team...soon to be filmed into a reality show as well.

R2 got SE competition, where the winner will get a Merc SLS AMG.

R3 got .... nothing much ... just bundles of GT5+PS3 Titanium Blue, G27+GT5 ... whoopeee.

What about R2 Japan?

How about real-life on-track excursion ... competitions for those who really can race ... PD & Sony won't be leaving their local market behind kua? Maybe it depends on sponsors ... Mercedes for the R2 (European market), Nissan (Renault) for the R1 (American market) ... nvrmind lah .. saja say, to take my mind off the other posts ...
