1. There's a manual icon to be pressed for information. I think it's much better that Electronics Arts (EA) tutorial. You just need to click and read its content.

2. Gran Turismo TV...that's where my system hanged/freezes. I press the HOME button on my controller and switched off the console. Sigh...Anyway, it's 2am++ and I hit the sack straight after.

3. Course Maker...It's half baked. Presets from existing courses and all you can do is...you just play around with the parameters. The sharpness of corners, the difficulty of the route, so on and so forth. I did fiddle with it and I was not that impressed. Polyphony Digital should hire me as a consultant for this Course Maker set. Speaking of half baked potatoes, it's the same as the dynamic weather. If you notice, there's a weather icon and there's a clock icon in certain race courses. Just a handful has the dynamic weather applied. I didn't test it but these are just my assumptions in which turns out to be correct once I've tested it.

It's not a perfect 10 game but it's a solid driving simulation.

I can repair your PS3 LOL

Guys. patch v1.02 is live.

133 MB

Another 133mb?

Wonder what's in it this time?

cool, it did work again after some fw upgrade, then it went dead again on 3.5fw. can share idea how to fix it? ethernet is dead as well. and so is BT, etc. playing with wire.

LOL game hang..restarted ps3 and got update

man....your news is fast....need to go update later....family day so out with kids today

Ermmm...can you reconstruct your sentence/question again? I couldn't understand.

At this moment? Sucks to be you. Do you have an extra controller?

1. Yeah i know that. But the question that you see on this thread.....

3. It was never meant to be a full fledge Course Maker. Yamauchi said so before GT5 releases. and your qualification?

have you downloaded it? do you know the actual improvement made (don wanna trust those rumors at other forum or articles)? please share if you have got it alright..

I'm still stuck in the office..suck to work on weekend..sigh..

yeah same here. Game hang, restart, update. FUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Spend more time with your kids. The game can wait. Have fun!

The problem is on the BT/network card, the card already has some problem and once you update firmware, it sometimes work and sometimes doesn't work

I had issues with my Blu-Ray lens, it died 2 times, 1 time I sent to shop to replace, it doesn't last for 6 months, and now I changed a new one by myself and it works like charm, the shop must be just replacing the Blu-Ray laser only without the whole deck. My Blu-Ray dead after I updated the firmware to 3.1, a lot of people in the world had the same issue, Sony killed our BD drive

My game freezes... and I know that was caused by the internet connection (GT5 constantly accessing the internet). Unplugged the ethernet cable. The game work again. Plugged back the ethernet cable - thats when the game prompted me for an update LOL

I am searching for Japan R2 GT5, anyone selling?

So I can collect R1, R2 and R3

ya man. need to wait next week to go back home to grab the ds3.

Yes, as announced earlier on, there will be a second patch on 27 Nov, and the patch comes in very early today

done update i wonder what is change hurmmmm

downloading as we speak. what improvement? i also dont know... let me check PD page first

Did he? Hmmm...If that's the case, I'm just nit picking then. To have a Course Maker is brilliant. An absolutely brilliant idea. Maybe Polyphony Digital can nick a few of our courses and implement it on the next Gran Turismo series. How's that? Great, right? Maybe throw in an online Course Maker contest or some sort. It has its potential there.
