"What's the point of buying it"?

Well, if you're a fan of Subarus, or just generally want it, then $1/69p is 'nothing' for such a highly detailed car.
Surely if you want it, then you don't need convinced to spend 70p. :lol:
 
Your making it sound like Pokemon as it is also about the collection and using them. :lol:
 
Seems that the fact this car is made by another brand (Subaru as opposed to Toyota/Scion) being a possible reason hasn't been mentioned yet, my guess is that they had some kind of deal with Toyota to offer it for free as a promo but didn't have the same deal with Subaru.
It might just be as simple as that.

Is there a point to buy it? Not really since the Toyota offers the exact same thing (the Scion being LHD does make a difference) apart from some visual aspects obviously and a different wing option.
That's assuming it's a rational choice only, I've still bought it regardless as there was some otherwise unused small change left on my PSN-account.

That's not EXACTLY true. There are noticeable differences in handling between the 3 cars.

I've heard that many times but I've never experienced it myself to be honest, at least not actually noticeable to a degree they make a significant difference.
I could be wrong ofcourse or perhaps insensitive to the small nuances that I never noticed them.
 
That's because GT XL was launched before other DLC's even existed.

And if you want to feel special, you should've bought the Collectors Edition.

See that makes more sense . . .
 
I think if one were to complain about DLC costs, one should go look at how hard FPS players get shafted for their Battlefield/COD/ect and rethink their position on the whole thing. I have every piece of DLC but outside of maybe the speed test pack I dont feel like I would really miss out without having it.


I remember the first time I played a COD game online I would get kicked out of games every couple of map switches without buying all the map packs. Those games were made for DLC and to suck the money out of people. The other side to that is we do get far fewer DLC's released, which is mostly cosmetic stuff. I would take that over being forced to spend money on stuff I dont want in order to not have my gameplay restricted.

Very good point, the DLC in GT5 isn't mandatory or necessary like in other games. We can choose what we want or don't want! Look at tracks, someone doesn't have to buy a track to experience it, they have featured them in time trials and drift trials, without having to own it!

I personally have bought almost all of the DLC, I opted out of car pack 2 & 3 and the SSRX, they didn't really appeal to me. Spending under $5 every 3rd month or so, is nothing, even for someone without a job! money's an issue, put 5 cents aside a day, you'll afford it easily.
 
I eventually bougnt the BRZ DLC and it is not bad.
My favourite DLC is the SSRX, you get to go fast.
I now have all the Scoyobru cars, and the BRZ is the best :).
I now must rethink on GT5 DLC, as it is not mandatory or necessary and it is great when you get it.
