The North America DLC thread

[MoLiEG]

Got the full pack after I returned home from an exam... The Impreza, the R32 and the Lancer X are right now my new favourites!

 

[glw]

i bought the DLC at 5:00CST and then i checked Service List the course car suit paint packs are all there but when i checked the Download List no course car suit paint pack which i bought. and then i check the main GT5 menu Downloaded Content says “No Content Purchased”. and i keep turning on and off the ps3 to see if the damn DLC is there but no DLC so far. called the 1800 number they said that they are looking into it may take up to 7 days to fix. WOW i just hope they give it to me by tonight or i’ll be pissed. going to call them tomorrow if i don’t get it tonight.

i read on here somewhere that rebooting your ps3 solves this problem... have you tried that?

Glad to see it's up and running! I can't wait to get home and try out the new stuff.

You are not alone. I'm in the same boat. Of course I didn't have to work tonite. so I could have had some time to enjoy the DLC if I had gotten any of what I paid for. Work night shift the next couple of days 12 hour shifts. Not much time to use it then.

The DLC is not in the download list at the shop - nowhere, not in the european, asian etc. shops! You have to get into the download section in GT5 (the new download button at the first screen in GT5) and download it there!

Yeah the same one that shows the same message about nothing being available that it has shown since 2.0 came out?

Sorry I'm guessing that was the 1st place we all looked

 

[frontrunner91]

Just back from the 2 am check and still no DLC for me. They sure managed to take the money right away over 7 hours ago but they have yet to deliver the goods.

Try clearing the cache in game, then do a router/modem reset. I tried that after buying twice( which was fin because I got two of each exept fo spa and the kart tracks of course)

Been there and done that multiple times.
Cache cleared, Router and cable modem reset, system update checked and no newer updates available, Shows the transaction on my account and definately took the money from my wallet but I get the same "no purchased content found" message in the game. I didn't just power off the system and restart it I switched off the power strip it is plugged into and came back 5 minutes later and restarted. No luck then either.

Damn bro, there's got to be some way Sony could push it through.

 

[frontrunner91]

At this point I'll gladly take a refund and an appology and never give PD or Sony another dime.

 

[spapadillion]

I had the same trouble nearly everyone else did this morning when attempting to "download" the DLC. Payment accepted, but no evidence via the PSN store or the DLC button in GT5 that I'd done so, minus the payment receipt. Well, I just checked the DLC section in-game one more time and there it was waiting for me. Hopefully it's the same for everyone else as well.

 

[SeaWall]

are the course pack car pack suit pack paint pack suppose to be in the Download List under Transaction Management under Account Management. because i don't have those packs there when i bought the complete pack, i only downloaded the NSX and GT Academy Theme. CAN ANY BODY CHECK PLEASE SOMEONE WHO ALREADY HAVE THE DLC

 

[plate88]

Just got mine about an hour ago. Purchased on PSN then went to DLC option in game and installed everything. Pretty smooth for me at least. Sucks many are having troubles.

 

[SeaWall]

actually how have not tried rebooting/system restore my ps3 will it erase all my memory or my dlc's???

That really shouldn't be necessary. Given enough time it should just work. All I did was buy it in the PSN store, wait about 10 hours, then (after initially finding nothing there) went to the DLC button in GT5 and it was there waiting.

[SopranoStylle]

That what happens when you download something the minute it comes out

No they're under services. The only "physical" downloads were the stealth car and the theme. Have you tried activating your system?

 

[BradKinder]

I bought the bundle today. It looked like all it downloaded was a stealth car, but when I opened GT5 all the DLC was there.

No problems with installation, even though the front page of GTP said there would be.

However, I eventually tried opening a lobby and using SPA. Apparently SPA makes the lobby fail. I'm kind of livid about it. *#%*#*%*#

Can anyone tell me when a bug fix patch is due out?

 

[LightningRedSTI]

Probably not until there's another scheduled maintenance.

 

[SeaWall]

probably a long time man, they still have people me still waiting for the actual DLC and they sure take their time on fixing anything. expect xmass for the problem to be fixed. maybe hopefully LOL

 

[plate88]

I didn't have problems getting the DLC, but seems Sony/PD is making this more difficult than it needs to be. Never had troubles with any DLC for any other game and don't know why GT5's should be any different. Hope they get everyone's accounts fixed sooner than later.

 

[TheDabbinDave]

I didn't have any issues obtaining the DLC, I didn't try until about 6:30 ET though. I did, however, find the process INCREDIBLY AWKWARD and I hope PD & Sony go back to the normal way of doing DLC. 'Cuz the implementation of this DLC is just STUPID dumb.

 

[SeaWall]

hey thanx man it WORKED, i activated my system and i got my complete pack in my Downloaded Content. THANX. EVERYBODY WHO HAS NOT RECIEVED THIER DLC SHOULD SYSTEM ACTIVATION UNDER ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT.

 

[LightningRedSTI]

Not a problem bro. That's why some of us are here.

 

[Kamuifanboy]

So guys, I'm sure this has been asked. But is all of the DLC worth the price?

 

[SeaWall]

BIG YES for me

 

[WRECKU]

Just gave the DLC a shot and had no problems. Of course the server load at 2:30 AM is pretty light.

Love, love, love SPA. Have not tried any of the cars yet but there is some pretty cool looking paints. 👍

You make think it a little pricey for what you are getting but considering the seasonal events that we get and combined with the fact I am still playing the game a year later on a daily basis the overall value is a total bargain.

Hope everyone has good luck with the download. 👍
