i wish you CHEATERS got blocked by the rest of the REAL PLAYERS of gt5 , and play among yourselfs.

I love how people get so against things like this, I got a save off ebay for prologue with all cars and tracks after a few months of owning it.
I love the game but couldn`t warrent the time required to unlock everything.
I liked being able to jump in to any car - select a track and have a blast around. I still had a crack at challenges etc and felt I got the best out of the game I could.

I would certainly get a save if one became available for GT5, cheating - maybe, ...... working and running a family home and not getting to sit on the PS all day to obtain golds and post on this site - definately.
 
Yeah so what if u can get all 1000 cars somehow, how does that affect anyone, even if u go online with a fast car u may suck online so.
 
Exactly ^^^.
I can`t seem to do the rally stages but would love the chance to have a stab in some of the different rally cars around the courses on offer.
My working days approx 6am - 6pm, then food then family time, then bloody wife & her soaps, I don`t get endless time limit to play this great game...how am I supposed to earn millions to get a decent car before GT14`s released lol
 
As an update, it appears PD is getting wise about this. After making a new account, that new account can send one gift car ticket just fine. The second one you try to send though stalls and then it says you can't because you aren't connected to the network (even though you are). If you try again, it says it sent ok and the ticket goes away (presumeably sent off to your main account), but log into your main account and you won't have a gift in the mail. So, I'm thinking that because sending these requires they be sent through the network, PD hasn't had to wait to release a patch, they are just limiting allowed ticket gifting to just one ticket it would seem. To do it again you must create another account and repeat. Any tickets sent after the first just dissapear into nothingness when you send them.

Well, yesterday i did this and it's a no mate... Instead off receiving the 2 jags, 3 ferrari's and 2 fords. I kept them as a ticket to test if that can be send multiple times.

I could send 4 tickets and one car, and they all came to their rightfull owners... So it works, and i've never seen "The second one you try to send though stalls and then it says you can't because you aren't connected to the network"... It works for me!

so i guess you can do 2 cars off one account? send one bday car the day of the birthday. restart the game, get a new bday car and send the next day?

Nope, you can send a car, quit the game, delete save game, restart game and send another one, on and on and on and on...:dopey:
 
how do you register the under-18? is it using the existing account or make new account?

Unfortunately this will only work for "adults" (aka kids with credit cards). You must register for an over 18 account, then link your under-18 account (you could go as young as you want - today's date is fine) to the over 18 account by providing valid credit card and address information.

Once thats done, start rolling in dough.

Ferrari F1 2007? Got it
Ferrari F1 2010? Got it
Online dominance? No way.

Jumping into the thread war here, just because I have all the "best" cars in the game doesn't mean I'll be an excellent driver (in fact, Im not - shockers. I use ASM and Skid control). I use the exploit because I am intrigued by the interior views, the outer design, and driving it with friends in arcade mode. Like someone who jumped on the band wagon, in 2-3 months I'll be bored, and GT5 will be lent out to a friend, or sit on a shelf, etc etc.

Everyone has different levels of commitment to different activities. Some people want the pure driving experience, and they turn to GT5. Other people just want to look at nice cars, or drive them in world famous locations, and they turn to GT5. Others want all of this and more, and they may also turn to GT5. No one is "more correct" than the other, and no one is "more wrong" than the other. People who exploit the bday cheat get enjoyment from being rewarded rare and expensive cars, and people who do not get enjoyment from saving up millions to buy that one special car. At the end of the day, everyone is trying to derive enjoyment from this product - GT5.

I doubt the thread wars will end, and people will continue to point fingers and expound on how they are right, or smart, or pure, or honorable, or shrewd, etc etc. Too bad.
 
How can anyone use ASM?!?!!? I just hate it! I am good, so i let my Nine-year-old sister who generally isnt good at racers at all to test this. She chooses ASM off with everything. I just think its too much of a sledgehammer...

Do you have to be online for your birthday? Or will a ticket be waiting for you when you return from the Canary islands Two weeks later?

ME ME ME ME ME

Could your 9-year old sister open a can of whoop-@$$ on me when we race Nurburgring? Probably...
 
lol its funny cuz you can't even sell a car thats worth over 1 million credits...
I am glad everyone gets fast cars, blows apexes, and then hits real racers because they are blowing brake points. Some of you guys think racing is about HP numbers lol.

No, you can't. I tried today and the only thing that went through was the first thing I sent, the ticket. After that I tried cars and it said upload successful but when I went to my account, only the ticket was there.
 
Cheer for that hwever i have an alternative seeing as my birthday is not until june. Just keep doing the Like the wind Indy race as you get 70,000 credits + 3564 woth of experience points. Quickest lap time ive done is a 39.180 in my Minolta. you can do it in under 4 minutes. then restart again.

Ive pulled a 36.989 in my Minolta...:)
 
I'm convinced the trick is gone. I used it yesterday for 1970 and got a freaking Celica worth 7k. I deleted that account after gifting that car to my main account, and this morning I created a new account for 1967 and did not get a birthday gift. I believe they have taken it away. I'll never get 20 million bucks. I need a racecar, and fast.
 
+rep
Good point well made 👍
but the trade market has been created by the community by exploiting the gift system that PD included, PD has not provided a trade market.
That brings up the question- Why wouldn't PD put a used car lot in for players to put up for sale. I mean c'mon, the concept of an "auction house" is old... WOW, EQ, any other MMO has one of some kind or another.
 
just curious does this depend on GT's online servers being up? or is the time/date gathered from the PS3 clock?

Or some people may just not be that great at a, get this, a video game. That has what to do with enjoying fast cars, I have no idea. But you're right...stupid people and their love of horsepower.

Same here. Not sure how they could've closed this up with updating the game though. I know I haven't received an update since maybe last week.

You do have to be connected to their servers to receive/send, so this isn't really surprising.

Yes, I know... I guess the question is do the servers have to be up to even get the gift car in the first place? Created an account today using 1967 but no gift car showed up.
 
is it possible to get the XJ13, P4, Mark IV, or TZ2 from doing this? I might have to try this when i get home because i refuse to grind 20 million credits to get one of em :lol:
I don't care how low of a level I am sinking to, this game is intended to be fun for me. If i want serious racing, ill hop on other games.
 
the birthday cheat does not seem to be working anymore. It worked yesterday, but I tried 3 times today with 3 new accounts, did not work. I did 1970 yesterday and got the stupid Celica worth 7k. I tried 1967 today and didn't get a birthday car.
 
People who say that your not earning your cars and that its just cheating, tell me, how is it any different from using the marketplace, you didn't exactly earn or unlock those cars now did you...I used this to get some cars that i would otherwise find impossible. I really only use the glitch to get a handful of cars i enjoy as well as standard cars i have to get lucky with to find in the UCD. If you dont like it I understand and thats your opinion but you were obviously intrigued enough to read this thread...
 
I just spent 30 min doing this, its not that fast a way of making money, and I got a beautiful Jaguar xj220 or something and finally gave it to my main guy and it cant be sold. Waste of time.
