    I find it odd that you could use the Gran Turismo Racing Karts without the DLC in arcade mode (in ARCADE ONLY section)… I haven’t downloaded the DLC and have them, and they were there as soon as Spec 2 was released.

    Hey everyone by looking at the comments its around 9 or 10 at night in America i think so that means Australia should get the DLC around 3 or 4 PM because at that time it should be about 12 (midnight) so fingers crossed for everyone that we all get the DLC in a few hours

    I woke up today went on to the ps3 on my account with money in it and went to buy the DLC, but it wasn’t there it is the 18th today aswell.
    im from Australia and usually if a black ops map pack comes out i have to wait a day till it gets released in America.
    If this is the case for GT5 DLC’s i think i speak for a number of us Aussies when i say this is absolute bull****. I have waited a whole week for this and i want it now!

      The entire world waiting for the US East cost…(¬_¬)…Nothing against US people don´t get me wrong. I hope at least it will be available here at Spain at mid-day as usually. Now is 2:45 AM and of course nothing. I’m going to sleep now.

    Well it sounds good but basically giving us the same cars we already have with RM isnt what most of us want, 4 MORE SKYLINES & ANOTHER MIATA!! we want NEW cars like Ferrari 599XX, FXX, F50, Shelby Super Snake, Toyota Supra (premium), Koenigsegg, Porsche Carrera GT, 918 Spyder, Lamborghini Reventon & cars like that & or more body mods even motor swaps or something NOT an update with 11 NASCARS that are basically useless & are the SAME just with different paint jobs. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE THE FORZA FANBOYS START ANNOYING EVERYONE!!

    Whew… For a second there I thought I was going to regret selling my PS3 and my copy of GT5 because of this “HUGE UPDATE” but after reviewing all the extra content that will be released this month, I’d literally LMAO. $12 for features and content that should’ve been included in the game from the start. If you’re a die hard “GT fanboy” like I was, then I highly suggest you stay the hell away from FMS4 because I guarantee you’ll absolutely love it and convert to the other side just like me. Also, just an FYI for those boy-racers whom are yearning for a drag strip in GT5; FMS4 does include a game mode such as that.

      I own both consoles and both games, jokes on you troll….There’s no converting to be done here, I play GT5, FM4, GTR2, and F1 2011. All these games bring a diff experience to the day table (IMO). Fanboyism is childish, if you don’t like a game then don’t play it, If you prefer another franchise then that’s fine too. But don’t come onto this GT site with your “either or” mindset and expect ppl to just abandon what the love and enjoy.

    I was hoping they would make the Stealth and Chrome Line cars available to all. Wheres Midfield Raceway and the Complex String? How about making it possible to RM other cars besides the mere 17 available? Where is the Agera, Arrow, Super Snake?

    I’ll be getting this but kind of disappointed, i was hoping for NEW cars, not RM versions of others, wheres my Bently Continental GT, Range Rover Evoque, Lambourgini Gallardo Superleggera and Shelby Mustang 500?:(

    Stigy is striking a bit of pose isn’t he! LOL. Seriously, thanks for the vid Amar and for posting Jordan.
    The track is looking excellent. The Spa project alone would have been a expensive build to get it this point given PD would have effectively had to start from scratch. I understand concerns around the value for money equation with the DLC and some have made some important points but on balance I like to think of this way…
    I’ve probably clocked 100’s of hours playing online on PD’s servers since the GT5 release last November. The amount of enjoyment that’s brought, the friends I’ve made, those late night sessions that stretch on till the early hours of the morning with a room full of mates… beyond the initial purchase of the game, I don’t pay a single cent for this ongoing access. For me, the cost of the DLC is a small price to pay compared to everything I’ve got out this amazing game and still continue too.

    Sweet! But… too late for me. I already retired my YLOD PS3 60GB EE and sold my games :( Waiting for the Vita though. ^_^

    when i heard the news of dlc, i kind of thought to myself “just imagine that pd releases a ‘Nissan GT-R pack’ with 15 different versions of the same car.” i thought, “nah, lol. ”

    and here comes pd, throwing out 13 Japanese cars, with no variety whatsoever.

    how about a supercar pack, with a Zonda F, Koenigsegg CX(-R), Lamborghini Reventon and Aventador, Shelby Mustang GT500? What about new F1 cars? What about new LMP-1 cars? Heck, what about new Golf GT-1 or Ford Focus? New Mercedes-Benz? New Audis.

    Anyone else can think of other cars that could have made the cut? I can think of many. I don’t know why PD can’t.
