iPhones work quiet well... I was however lucky enough to get a TV with USB recording (without even knowing it). Plug in a flash drive and BAM! HD video. If i were you and i didn't yet have a HD tv, i would be sure to get one with this feature, as it is simply brilliant 👍

no ****! that's rad! brand model etc?
 
Mine is panasonic, but there is heaps of brands that are willing to do it for cheap, and with small TV's

There is a couple cheap eBay examples, but if you go into RetraVision, Betta Electrical, Harvey Norman, Kmart or even Target, and cut off the sales guy before he gets started on stuff you dont care about, you should be able to find out specific details on which TV's have and do not have this feature.

It is real cool to be able to record TV shows straight off Austar, copy them to my laptop and take them to school with me 👍

PS. Some companies have different ideas on USB recording and some see it necessary to put it into a stupid format (i don't know whether that eBay mob is one of them). Be sure to get Mr sales dude to show you some recording from the TV onto his computer, because you definitely don't want to be ripped off by one of those crooked...

hmm, wonders if the wife will notice the new hdmi 24"on my desk if it grew to 31"LOL...398 i'm so ****in sold 👍 thanks dude :)
 
Be careful though mate, those guys might be one of the companies who put it into a dumb, unusable format. You might need to research the blogs before you get too carried away. Good luck pal!
 
Count me in on the meet Ben ;)
I will def be on tonight!
 
Kicked out the lounge room :( so cant drift for a few hours...

Should be on about 9pm, so if anyone has a room open hit me up!
 
I can host as I've fixed my connection but I'm pretty sure the people who can't get in might have issues anyways if you have Nat 3 connection your gonna have dramas all the time
 
kris had a room going when i was on earlier...
 
Meant to hit the clubs tonight but may say home due to weather, if I stay home I can host, if so I'll be on around 8-8:30

as I am over people whining about race physics vs drift physics being different (they are not!) I put it too the man himself Kaz on twitter

全く同じです。フロントタイヤの最大切れ角が違うだけ。RT @justnotherhuman: Physic's Question! Please confirm Drift Mode vs Race Physic's are identical in GT5

This is exactly the same. Only difference is the maximum steering angle of front tires

Haha 👍

If you want to know something...try asking the right person hehe = hot tip
 
Nice one Kris. 👍 Never really noticed the physics being different I always thought they were the same.

there's a heap of us in a room now, i just joined via accendo nfi if lounge or open lobby....
 
@ Kris
In my opinion your question to kaz answers alot I always said drift trial was easier because I thought you could get more angle and stay sideways longer the steering angle difference answers it all it still makes d trial a bit easier
 
Me thinks this tweet needs it's own thread... Or you could post it in that new member thread thing and get the thread owner to put a "please note" thing in the OP. No more arguments.
 
Just a quick question... do the replays/playing online kind of "dimm' down other peoples smoke?

Like does it get rid of their minor smoke to focus it somewhat on you? :odd:

Oh dude don't get me wrong what you say I tend to agree with pretty much 100%, my personal opinion has swayed back and forth several time's tbh...hence the question to Kaz...I wanted an answer

I'e I personally always thought there was something different between drift and arcade / race, but that it wasn't the physics...

not trying to start argument's by any means,certainly not with any of you guy's anyway (that's what yanks are for...! hahah) it has just been a topic I've noticed pop up several times across the forum's since release

the answer stands the physics are the same, the "difference" is the maximum steering angle... :dopey:

Doesn't matter a **** until drift point's get added to online otherwise it is all in the eye of the beholder ;) as we make our own fun...

i wish we could adjust the steereing angle like in prolouge
 
Man, that was one of the best drift sessions EVER last night!
I was tired and I DCed, so I just went to bed lol.
 
Same here, @Stavingo. It was excellent to see everyone sideways at once. And that Indy triple tandem was awesome.
First outing in the IROC, and i'm real happy with it. Great power in all gears and looks brilliant
 
Haha Sounded great, pity I couldnt jump back in though. I think Me and Dinsosaw have a network incompatibility with each other as he couldnt join the sesh until I left And i couldnt join back in after he joined. Stupid bloody network issues.

Amen to that, all my car's in GT5P were @ 60, as naff as prologue was, it baffle's me as to why some of the best feature's were removed for the big show...

multiple tune's
steering lock
leaderboards

Be interesting to see what the new update bring's, Although i'm sure none of the above will make the cut :grumpy:

Has there been an update? Can't Connect to server? edit, haha gotta love this heat...2nd router is cooked time to go get a switch and simplify
