christmas gift cars, fake?

[Pyrone89]

We got screwed, run for the shelters and start GT5, RUN!!!

They are gonna bomb us with MDLC (Massive Downloadable Content) in January

Duck and hide...!!!


Ok, after freaking out the Japanese they will start with us. I don't actually am that excited, they are after all pretty normal cars (once you get a freaking X1 you will know why I say this). It is not like they are giving away F1's

Except that I bought the CE and the only Chrome Line car that I'm missing the the XJ13 because we can't do the Facebook thing in North America. I bought this game as much a collector as a racer. This is like grown-up Pokemon. Gotta get 'em all.

+1

This is what I'm gonna think Gran Turismo of, from now on.

I actually want to earn this car. The X1 is an achievement but being able to buy one of those three will be the top of the collection right now.

After doing a little research, I found some hope, here: http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/12/15/gt5_bonus_cars/

Supposedly saying that, "The cars will be distributed through PlayStation Store from December 24 through January 31. Anyone with GT5 will be able to make the download for free."

Well we can "download" them if we make a JP account. We can't "use" them, though! :-P

[Mubble]

Lol at the desperation in this thread.

 

[Grayfox]

So now the North American region is the only region to get shafted on the XJ13. Nice PD, real nice.

i am from australia, i dont get them so you are not the only one that feels annoyed

i really hate how sony does region only things

the NTSC-J users get these nicer cars

i only want the XJ13 has i have the others which i got from the SE version

 

[Bounkazz]

Lol, I love it when people go crazy about a few simple game cars...

Yeah you can i have the CE and the 5 cars and i can use Them. Thats how i beat those races. I used the Jaguar chrome line to beat the Historic Races.

Hopefully, it won't doublepost due to an error with my Internet connection earlier, so if it does, I apologize in advance.

Now, from what I've looked into, the Christmas Gift Cars were 3 of the cars from the Collector's Edition of Gran Turismo 5 in the United States. Europe and Japan apparently didn't get them. As such, it is likely that they are just giving them to make up for the fact they couldn't get the cars before. Yes, it means Americans without the Collector's Edition are out of luck, but it would keep the "exclusive" cars exclusive.

 

[Ecchi-BANZAII!!]

Still not Christmas Eve.....right.
Wait for 18 hours and try again.

That whole date is called Christmas Eve.....right.

Why can't I use it then? Besides, the Chrome Line cars don't have year's, so they can't compete in any year-based races. You lie.

You may have used the XJ-13, but I can 100% guarantee you did not use the XJ-13 CL. Too much birthday glitching can make you delirious.
