Are all cars going to be "birthday" cars now



From Gran Turismo 5 -> Questions and answers -> some interesting questions

Thanks bud. Looks like my master plan will work.

1. Save and backup account.
2. Gift car to friend.
3. Delete save.
4. Load backup.

Congrats - You have just gave away a car and not lost it.

Going to test now - will update.
 
look the point here is that there will always be ways to exploit the system, some take more time than others; much like races.

whether you prefer to spend the time racing or fiddling in menus is up to each person imo. doesnt bother me one way or another but personally i think with all the loading screens and the sheer boredom of it you'd be better off just enjoying the game itself.

im bday glitching atm but only to help get cars to help level up quickly. once i get there im just going to collect certain cars and customise them for different circuits, design test tracks etc.... so for me its just a means to an end, but the one you posted is even more crazy. i dont see too many people bothering tbh. i certainly wont be its way too much hassle.
 
keep us posted it it works... But i think u can only send 1 car per day redardless.. not sure bout it though ???

Yeah, you can only send 1 car a day. Here's how it works:

Send car from original account to secondary account. Both accounts have the car now, re-load original data for main account.

Go to second account, send car to tertiary account, 3 accounts have car, re-load data for secondary account...

...to infinity
 
it works for duping but you have to do it as a TIER system.

basically i did it tonight with my accounts i already had setup for birthday glitching.

STEP 1:

create multiple accounts as many as you can on PS3.

STEP 2:

make a backup of your main game with the car you want to dupe.

STEP 3:

load main game save and send the car you wish to dupe to you first PS3 account (user 1)

STEP 4: exit main game, delete save, backup original. (so on your main, its as if you havn't gifted a car at all)

STEP 5: go onto user 1, load game, accept gift.

STEP 6: exit game, backup save, overwriting the previous.

STEP 7, same as STEP 3-5 but you just go down the list of users.

basically this way once you reach the end of your list of accounts, each one will be sitting there with a save you can load up into and each one will have the car you wanted to dupe.

since you can't transfer back in the same day, comeback the next day, load up all the dupe accounts and send the car BACK to your main.

there you have it, tons of duped cars.

works for paint chips, and anything else as well.

tedius and boring, but effecient.

now to find out what the most expensive car is to sell in the game lol.
 
You could just play the game!
 
Is it just my rotten luck or are they only giving out rubbish cars in the birthday ticket? I've been trying for two hour to get a Chaparral 2J (1970) and all I'm getting is Celica's and old American muscle cars I haven't even seen a Toyota 7 yet either....
 
The 2J'll turn up eventually..
You want rotten luck? I just got a 206cc for my 1000 ticket 👎

Better than some generic Mazda 4 door sedan that I said I'd never look at twice in real life.... only to have one right behind me driving to work the day after!

lol same thing here. i use a 2nd account and gift the cars to that account where i open them to see if i've got the 2J or the Toyota and my 2nd account ended up with a garage of 70s cars.

But then as soon as i realised it'll even gift you cars already in your garage i opened my next bday ticket on the bday account itself and it worked first time and i got the 2J

Are we 100% its random or do you think the programmers added an advantage to those with no cars or rubbish ones.
Because also, the first time i ever bdayd i had no cars and it was the one i wanted Nissan rc89

Hmm.....
 
Damn, good news, I forsee few thousand X1 cars for sale on gtplanet cheap like 1 matte :)

ps who got X1?

another thing backing up save games should allow you to do now is dupe the gift tickets.

ie backup save game just before your due to get your 1000 ticket.

once you get it, use it, gift it off.

reload save and do it again.

hell you dont even have to gift it off you can just keep doing it until you get a car you like.

Do you honestly think that no one knew about this until now? Why do you think so many people have been offering to trade FGTs over and over?
 
This couldn't be done until update 1.05. I guess that is my understanding.
