    What’s crazy is those watching on YouTube are basically stealing. 2.00 an episode is pretty cheap compared to the 15 dollars an Option DVD cost and personally I’d like to see Drifting grow so I don’t mind paying. The rest of you thieves are a bunch of Morons.

    I would love to buy all the SuperGT videos, but since they’re only valid for a year, thats never gonna happen.

    The D1 Gran Prix videos are okay. But I’m more interested in the Super GT and Best Motoring videos. The Best Motoring videos are informative and the review not on Japanese cars but Europeans as well. Yes, the videos are a bit old, but Best Motoring is, I believe, on of the best video magazines. Option focuses on D1 because they’re sponsoring it. Drifting is a part of the game as well, and there are a whole lot of rooms online. I agree that Gran Turismo tv should include some other forms of motorsport as well, but I’m glad they have the Super GT races. I just wish they put up more recent vids of the series.

    What is the point of drifting? Anybody can throw a car sideways, GT5 needs to cut the crap with all this japanese crap, I mean come on, when can we have a great fun American made racing game?

  5. Gimp

    Great, more GTR stuff and a bunch of people skidding. Maybe some DTM videos or decent motorsport vids instead of silly drifting rubbish and I’d spend some money.

    And most people are right saying that you can view Volumes of BM and BMI on YouTube. I’m not complaining, just agreeing with the majority.

  7. BWX

    I bought a few before.. they were good but way to much $$. They should charge $0.50 an episode and they would make more $$ because 10 times as many people would purchase them. At the current prices it’s a big fat rip-off.

  8. RADracing

    They should just give the GT Academy free coverage with GT/TV. Come on PD don’t you want to promote your own show for free. It would probably be good for marketing your game.

    To those who say they’re not paying for it:
    What if that’s where there getting some money to make those little premiums and tracks you guys want oh so badly? :)

  10. Sam

    You pay for them and are able to watch them for a year. Not a lot of people are thrilled about these videos on Gran Turismo TV but some of them are really good.

  11. Exarch

    Pass. Bad enough to have to pay for most of this at all, but never for what theyre charging. Maybe if the prices were 15-20% of what they are….

  12. Honchie

    Really? they waste their time on this rather than addressing patches that work properly & the ever so elusive DLC content?

    1. SKOT Free

      Well I do know that Tsuchiya had to be frustrated when they get to American D1 the judges got constantly accused of playing favorites to the Japanese drivers and in Particular to those Drivers Tsuchiya liked personally. It got so Bad that at one event at Irwindale, After what was perceived a bad call, the Fans started throwing paper and stuff out the stands! I know one year Vaughn Gitten beat out a Japanese driver clearly and yet still didn’t win. The Next Year Vaughn was the First U.S. driver to win a D1 event.

    1. TakumiFuji01

      Yea, there was another dude name StarQuestSoul but his account got suspended due to copyright. He had most of my favorite videos including the body work on Keiichi’s TRD Street 20v BT AE86 Trueno

    2. Demonyze

      You should really check out youtuubeblows channel, it’s like the best YT channel for all that cool Japanese stuff.

    3. TakumiFuji01

      Yeah I know that channel. I watch most of the BMI/HVI stuff rather then Video Option and D1. Y’know Tsuchiya and Inada made a new drift competition called Drift Muscle?

    4. Demonyze

      I knew that Tsuchiya left D1 because he didn’t agree with some things, but I didn’t know that him and Dai founded a new Drift Competition :O

  13. Mac K

    Thats always welcome, to bad all those programs are fairly short and cost a lot to purchase and you can only keep them for a year… oh well. I’ll download the SEMA video though, which car won last year?

    1. Perkel

      Problem is those are old episodes.

      I watched them all where i had Gran Turismo PROLOGUE…..

      Come one i want watch new episodes ! in HD.
