- RRoD? no thanks.
I am installing already. Still no info of what the update actually contains, not even the JPN GT site.
I think this update will affect some of your money and replays. People who don't want to risk it should wait until the info about it is out before you download it.

yes, I was about to post it, Firmware 2.30 is needed to be able to start the update. 
Firmware 2.30 is not available on SCEJ's website as I speak that means it is not possible to use USB Mass Drive but to download the file from the PS3. (EDIT: it is now available! it adds revamped PS Store and support for DTS-HD Master Audio.)
Failure count: 16... ok I stop counting it brings me bad luck!
EDIT: Done! I think I was at about 30 failure, hopefully there is a resume function, download progress bar restart from zero but downloaded file is saved.

Ok, I got the updates.
Just a warning! It will reset all your QTS settings and your option settings.
They added the DFGT to the steering menu, updated the online race events and possibily revised the PP system. Online ranking is reset. Replays and money seems to be untouched.

Not working perfectly for me, unfortunately. First I got a download prep error. Second try, it started downloading and failed halfway through. Third time, got past the download prep but then it failed immediately. Downloading at the moment though...
Not entirely fixed yet it seems.
EDIT: Update successfully downloaded on the fifth attempt.

BAR STEWARD!!! I should of checked here first before I ran the update! lets just hope that the PP points thing has finally put an end to the dominance of the Elise. 👍
probably about 200~400MB since my current install file is 7,435GB, it was around 7,00GB before.
anyone to confirm this ?
Thanks, about 55% to go:tup:

It certainly has changed, I used to have my Elise at 100% power, 90% weight and R3 tyres - and still under 650PP. Sounds a lot more reasonable now! 👍
