Dr_Doom Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 The buggers, i got this: Dear Customer, > > Your copy of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue was received late to our warehouse from Sony and has now been despatched. > > As we have missed the release date we would like to offer you ｣3 off the price of Grand Theft Auto 4 coming to PlayStation 3 on April 29th. Maby i'll get it tomorrow? I got this too .... Wa****s!!! I think it'll be here on Monday now as Play stuff usually takes a few days to arrive (coming from Jersey).....

AlexM Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 No GT5P in my mailbox . I'm tempted to go out and buy Everybody's Golf just so I have a new game to keep me going.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Bought mine today too. Watch out if you don't play online first off. As soon as you go online it downloads another update. (In addition to the system update that I got when I installed the game) I've heard that this can result in any game data you had saved up until that point being lost. Having a break now for a coffee.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Getting annoyed now! It took nearly an hour to setup the PS3 and download and install the update It took another 20 mins to install GT5 and is now trying to download the update (on third attempt now, first two "failed"), it's been 15 mins on this last attempt and still only half is downloaded...

Wez Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I guess lots of people are trying to play it today and therefore all going for the same updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 LOL, you on cable down there Homer? doesnt take me long to get the updates on 20mbit connections, perhaps as Wez said its because the servers are getting hammered everyones suffering!

Robzki Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 A guy at work was saying that blockbuster video place was doing a good deal - console, gt5 prologue and 'something else' for £299.99. Might be worth having a look yeah saw that in the paper today, the 'something else' is 5 free rentals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harps Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 yeah saw that in the paper today, the 'something else' is 5 free rentals Thats not particularly good I'll have words with him on Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Well it updated on the 4th try! I'm disappointed on just how cut down prologue is, it seems to be geared towards online and multiplayer play, as a single player there's not much to do Graphics are very good indeed even on a non-HD TV. The car models are incredibly detailed. Game play is better than the GT4, the cars handle more realistically (such as lift off oversteer now works as it should). I doubt I'll be playing Prologue much... roll on the full release! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 i tried to let my ps3 locate the wireless, it found it but couldnt connect. so i have skipped the internet part, which i will prob have to go back to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 i tried to let my ps3 locate the wireless, it found it but couldnt connect. so i have skipped the internet part, which i will prob have to go back to Can't you hard wire it just for the updates? It'll play fine once the update is done. It has a warning that save games might not be compatible so don't get too carried away before getting it done.

lockys96 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 ive been playing gt5 today with no connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 ive been playing gt5 today with no connection Sorry mate, I didn't explain too well... If you get the update your current save games *might* not be compatible with the updated version, meaning you may have to start again. The other option is to just not bother with the update, there was no explaination or bug list provided anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopite Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I doubt I'll be playing Prologue much... roll on the full release! Part of the reason i've not bothered lookin at GT5P, remember the other early teasers of GT games were dull in single player mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 How big is the update? The first post looks like over 5000mb. Surely this could have serious implications for people with download caps especially if they download at peak times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 You can download it from the playstation store as well. Oh really....need to check that out when I get back to mine tomorrow. Do I just pay online for the prologue then? If so, how much is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Still no sign of GT5P from Play.com, grrr. Never using them for a preorder again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harps Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Just about managed to hold off buying one. It was close, and the sales pitch was good. But I keep telling myself its too much money Still, shops are open for another 5 hours or so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Still no sign of GT5P from Play.com, grrr. Never using them for a preorder again . They should have sent it 1st if they knew it was going to be late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-B Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 got mine this morning like the others have said there is a lot of updates havent had much chance to play it but it seems pretty good starting off with a nice DC5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Think i may hold on to the main game comes out, cant wait for gta to come out end of april though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Oh really....need to check that out when I get back to mine tomorrow. Do I just pay online for the prologue then? If so, how much is it? Beware if you do its £25 from the ps store and only £19 from asda. And can not be played if not signed in to the ps network like warhawk: http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=26461 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
