What to do during GT installs?

[Harley45]

1) Read Apex book
2) Call friends and rub in their faces I have GT5
3) Eat and drink for the whole day, because obviously you will not leave your room anymore
4) Stare at the TV while it installs, like a mental
5) Censored by Sony (doing other Adult stuff)
6) Install Gt5 on Both Of my PS3's (If amazon Deliver it on the Release Day that it)
6a) Pray Neither of them Suffer the YLOD
7) Disconnect the Phone
8) Switch off the Mobile Phone
9) Stick a Post It Note on me Street Door Apologizing in Adavance to my Neighbours for the The Sudden Screaming and Noise (either from me or the Game)
10) Neck a Few Beers
11) Post a Few Pics of the Game on here
12) Wish Everyone who gets the Game from GTP a Happy Fun Day

Install can take place in background, so I think I'll just.... PLAY GT5

Hey - where is that option?

Rotor.

 

[fitftw]

Read some of the book and stare at the TV foaming at the mouth from my cockpit.

 

[gtpoland]

I'll be tidying up my room because once I get my hands on the wheel there is no coming back. Soon my room will no longer be a room but a filthy car interior. Full of empty cans and pizza boxes on the backseat

 

[andrewyhy]

I'll either read the Apex book or watch TV while waiting.
And most probably stare at the installation progress from time to time like a mental.

 

[Nielsen]

I'll probably stare at the screen with an impatient look just to make sure it go as planned.

 

[MikeNeko]

I think i will play Forza III. I will need 30 minutes for the firmware update i guess plus the 50 minutes for GT5.
I am still on an old firmware, i still have my otherOS to do CELL programming, i will deeply miss that option, but hey, that s for GT5.

 

[benwaballs]

Read Apex book and chew all my finger nails off

 

[SCUD77]

I wont be installing so i'll be able to play the game because until I buy a new ps3 320slim I have no space for it anyway.

 

[Pixelatic]

I'll be reading the Apex book and some reviews from well known sites

 

[jimjamm]

I'll be thumbing through the Apex book while rolling my SLS around the family room waiting for the progress bar to fill to 100%. If at any point I become bored, I'll probably play a few games of My Player in MLB 2k10, how a game that is so bad can have such a great mode is beyond me.

 

[Shadow Wulf 2k]

Sit behind my Driving Force Pro with the accellerator mashed in vain hope that it will speed up the install.

I'll probably flip through the Apex book for a while.

Sounds like a good plan! I hope it works on G25 too! 👍

 

[Shant J.]

Ill read the Apex book.

By the way, I remember a GTP member making "do not disturb" signs for GT5 months back. Anyone know who it was?

 

[z33_mike]

Shower and get some food / snacks ready. Took a vacation day Wed 24 and will have a 5 day weekend.

 

[sjwk]

I'm toying with bringing my PS3 into work on launch day, so I can a) install it in the background ready for the evening; b) take advantage of stupidly high speed internet to download any updates that might have come out since the disks were pressed and c) play it

On the other hand, c might be too tempting and lead to little work getting done..

On the plus side, Amazon are showing it as having an estimated *delivery* date of "23rd-24th"... so you never know, it might turn up a day early.

 

[tankuroded]

Voted Other.

I will browse the Web (opening GTP obivously! ), read the manuals, and watch TV.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

40-50 minutes for the install! WHoa!!
Honestly I will just play the 360 untl the install is finished. Thats what I always do while my PS3 is installing games. I voted for Forza 3 because thats probably what I will play while I wait.

 

[alucard0712]

I'll be practicing piano, which is great for me since I sit down and two hours pass by thinking that I was only sitting for 15 minutes.

👍

I' love a little practice at such moments (with my pair of sticks ), but GT is just another story.I probably can't do anything but watching how it installs...

 

[Lain]

Furiously mastu... erm... uh... browse GTPlanet.

 

[JDMH22ACCORD]

hopefully mine will arrive while at work, upon which i will ring wifey and demand that she installs it for me, so it's ready to play when i get home. If not, i'll just install it as i eat dinner as mentioned.

lol

 

[steve30x]

Ill be impatiently going mental. Not only will we have to wait for the install but if there is a patch we will have to wait for that download too and hope its not a repeat of the prologue patches with repeated fails before it downloaded fully.

 

[Willbo87]

I think i'll take a 40min pooo! 👍

 

[HuskyGT]

Orginize all my PS2, Gamecube, PSP and PS3 games by alphabetical order, then scramble them and orginize them by year, then by rating, etc. Then I would probably bake an apple pie, give my dog a bath, and when its finished with the instal, realize that the PS3 is too hot and it has gone into vacum cleaner mode, turn off the PS3, turn on my PS2 and play GT4 for the last time until the PS3 cools down. And for last, turn the PS3 and realize that both controllers have a low battery, and... well... Devil May Cry 4 took around 45 minutes also but I just waited in front of the TV. Probably that´s going to happen when I get GT5.

 

[Revelation1115]

Clean up the game room and dust off my G27 and Playseat

 

[Psycho77]

Clean up the game room and dust off my G27 and Playseat

Im planning to do exactly this also, get my PVC rig ready, setup the speakers and everything, clean the room while its installing

* While taking beers 👍

 

[ChUnKieBaLLz]

It looks like the Apex book & the GTR model will be more than enough to keep me occupied for 40 minutes. Just saw the signature unboxing video on YT which gave a glimpse of the book, and it's jam packed with alot of info on racing, cars, tracks. Good stuff!

 

[HuskyGT]

Ill be impatiently going mental. Not only will we have to wait for the install but if there is a patch we will have to wait for that download too and hope its not a repeat of the prologue patches with repeated fails before it downloaded fully.

Tell me about it... It took me like three hours to download the SpecIII update correctly...

 

[willsc2007]

I`ll be porking my wife..

 

[UK-Gamer]

Win your wife/GF over.... after all, you wont see them for days
