Birthday car question

[ac3h01e]

No, I'm not trying to glitch for cars, I'm just wondering do you have to log on the date of your birthday to receive your car? Because I just realized that my birthday passed about a week ago and I haven't received a car.

I believe so.

If it's the same as the Museum Cards, which you receive when you Log In I guess you missed your birthday ticket.

 

[kuyaglen]

You missed.

Hey, you'll get another chance... in like fifty more weeks.

Not exactly. You get a ticket for that specific year, and when you redeem that ticket it gives you a random car for that year. It isn't pre-determined, either, so if you get the ticket and don't like the car you get, if you had backed up your save before redeeming the ticket you can use it again for a chance at a different car. I've noted, however, that some cars seem to come up more frequently than others. For example, with the '67 ticket, the GT40 Mark IV and Miura come up a lot, but the Ferrari 330 P4 hasn't came up after dozens of times of redeeming the ticket.

I am sure if you search they'll be about 100 posts explaining it.

My birthday was January 2 and I got the '67 Ferarri 330 P4 Race Car without having to reload and try again. I didn't even know that was possible.

A bit off topic, but I got my 330P4 with the level21 ticket. If you still have it you can give it a try.

I have looked all over my profile on the playstation as well as my profile within GT5 and I do not see anywhere that my B-Day was entered or anywhere to enter it.
Also when you redeem your ticket, if you do not like the car, are you saying that you can leave the game without saving and then come back in and the ticket will be unredeemed and the previous car will be gone?

your birthday is entered when you create a Playstation Network ID (PSN ID) and GT5 uses that info.
