Harvey have it at $77 for preorder in their catalogue, but that catalogue ends today i think (going by the ad on tv). so who knows what the prices will actually be on thursday.

On another note, a heap of shops in france are already selling it.

what so all those links within ^^^^^^^ link can be downloaded and transfered to ur ps3 then played????????

also 20GB, is that the size for this download or is that how much space you will need on ur ps3 when the game installs????

For the PS3 trophy whores

Also gives a look at whats going to be in the game.

It only uses 6.4gb for the install.

I heard Harvey norman had it for presale for $77 on the radio. So I went there and saw signs saying Pre Order for $88. I told the guy I just heard $77 on the radio and he said ok, then he spent about 10 minutes trying to find it in the computer.

I was looking at his screen as he typed GT5 into search. GT5 Prologue came up and he said that's $44, I told him wrong game and he kept searching. Next he found GTA4 and I told him wrong game again. Eventually he found GT5 and clicked on the GT5 CE edition and asked for $138. Then I told him I just want the normal version (which was sitting right above the CE edition on his screen, He retyped GT5 into the comptuer and started searching through the massive list again. I saw before that they had 166 copies in stock and just told him dont worry i'll just buy it on the day.

Also checked dick smiths Which was $89 to preorder, the guy said just order it online for $79 + free delivery but I looked up there online service and found a forum thread full of complaints.

Cant wait for the release though :)

go buy it from JB hifi, the guy on the phone said that the price atm doesnt mean much, and they'll change it on thursday to make it as cheap as possible. he said ballpark price was around $110 but it will go down i guess to beat harveynormal and dicksmith etc.

Thanks for the info much appreciated :) . I'll just have to wait for the day and see who has it the cheapest.

Must... resist... temptation to hold up an EB Games store!

:D

was at eb today and they had all the games in the glass cabinet behind the register ready to go and the price was $89 preorder, so i decided to wait till thursday and go the cheapest place :D

If the cars in this game still sound like electronic vacuume cleaners & handle like they have open wheel diffs I will make sure I bag every single review site I can access!

Reallllyyyy hoping they have come close to the sound Forza has mastered!

watch a few videos. you will see the sound is much better than previous games.

i think part of the issue with previous versions of the game (and people will still say the same about this game to an extent) is that they think the sound should be what they hear when the car goes past, however in the games they have always made it sound a bit more like the perspective from which you are driving. the sound of a car behind the car is different to that in the car or at the front of the car, and people driving from the front bar view should hear more engine noise and not as much exhaust note, while people driving from the rear view should hear more exhaust note and less engine noise. inside the car should hear a mix of exhaust noise, gearbox noise (in race cars), and engine noise.

also saying that a game is shit purely because of the audio is pretty sad and pathetic. how about you rate it on how it plays, rather than dismiss what is more than likely going to be the best handling racing game around, and probably the most visually advanced game. if the sound being slightly off is enough to outweigh all of that then i'm sorry, you are a super nerd.

more than likely going to be the best handling racing game around

Whoa - big call. Hope you're right.

I'm a sound nerd too. Yes, it's very important to me. Some of the community add on sound projects for other driving sims over the years have been fantastic. The right sounds can make a huge difference to the driving experience. Obviously not the most important thing in a game, but a big part of the enjoyment.

sound means very little to me as when i race i don't just go for a sunday drive and think to myself "oh that doesn't quite sound right", i mostly ignore the sound and put all my concentration into braking at the last second, hitting the apex and accelerating as early as possible. for me as long as the graphics are decent and it handles very well, then that is all i car about. i care about the racing and not all the wank factor stuff that goes with it.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
