Got problems with firmware updates? You need the latest firmware to connect to PSN, so I'm assuming yes.
 
Did anyone else notice in the Nissan GT-R N24 Schulze Motor Sports description, they left HTML code of "b/" for break line?

It's not my PS3 and owner don't want to perform any firmware updates...
Imagine my situation: I have PS3, have GT5, have fast internet connection and can't play Spec 2...:(

Does 2.0 fix the incorrect time and date problem?
Thats one part of gt I really cant stand. :banghead:

This is not to blame on GT, but an 'issue' to correct on the PS3..
Go in and re-set the clock on your PS3 (even if it seems to be OK), then the warning will disappear..

Had the issue my self some weeks ago... :ouch:

Of course you know what that means. This PS3 have 3.70 on it and I've played GT5 very much, but after release of 3.72 - no on-line, no seasonals :( I can't buy PS3 now because I'm buying 32" LED TV, and it's little bit painful to wait really :(

I noticed now that the saves were a mega smaller
 
Is it me or does it take like forever to download the update? I started it 45minutes ago and still it needs 270 minutes to complete:nervous:

It's weird. There's nothing wrong with my connection (atleast not that I know of).

Could be that the PD server is working pretty hard now. The game also is slow now, at least everything that have to do with the online things.

when i first went to download it, it said 720 minutes. so i disconnected, restarted the PS3, and tried again... then it downloaded in 5 minutes. I think it connected to a different download server the 2nd time.

You might want to try starting the download over... just a thought.

Clear your game cache and check your internet connection?
 
Is it possible to download this patch on my comp than USB it to the ps3?

Don't think so. My buddy doesn't keep net at home and attempted updates with no luck. Could be wrong as never tried myself. He can get PS3 updates via USB drive though.
 
Quick quest, guys; How do I make my "driver" show up in the Photomode??
 
Just got Horns No.078 and Matte Pink for my car collection reaching 420. Where's the guy that said he'd paint his cars pink? Pics NAO, foo :p

Anything on the AI?

In arcade mode, you can set the aggressiveness of the AI. It's a bit hidden in the general arcade settings though.

Starting from 8 (and 'A' skill level obviously) things do get interesting.

Nepal. He is one of my friends. I am so hoping we hold him to this. I got several pinks I plan to send him.

I'd say if he paints top 50 Premium cars pink and posts a picture we can let him off. Be ridiculous to paint 200-609 cars.


Irony. I posted this at 4:20 too.
 
Anyone notice in the spec 2.0 intro what appears to be a new Lancer rally car racing around Chamonix? It's bright red.

I'm pretty sure that's the DLC car coming next week, not anything that we don't know about.
