The following may or may not have happened to you.
--------------------------------------------------
You pick up your copy of GT5 from your local distributor.
You drive home.
You install the game, and visit the dealership.
Everything's too expensive, so you hit up the Used Car Dealer.
There it is.
The name flashes ominously.

JUSTIN
JUSTIN
JUSTIN

Who's this Justin guy? He has so many cars for sale.
You are stunned by his seemingly endless wealth and exotic collection.
But wait.
JUSTIN?
...
JUST IN!

Ohh.

--------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the official thread of JUSTIN.
You may simply /sign the thread, post your experience as a victim, or secretly vote on the poll

Here's mine.
It's the 24th, release day. I'm sitting in my room, connected with a real life friend on Mumble (a VoIP service similar to Ventrilo, but specializing in ultra-low latency). I accessed the dealership, and searched for anything cheap. I didn't want to start with a Civic, so I checked the used car dealership. And there he was. JUSTIN. His name was plastered over every machine with authority.

I remember thinking to myself... Wow, who's this Justin guy? I don't know what features GT5 has, but apparently, this Justin guy is already super rich if selling used cars over the Internet is possible. I roughly calculated Justin having a 4 hour head start over me. Damn, he must have found a way to farm credits easily (like GT4). I made a mental note to myself to check for farming methods later.

As I scrolled down the list, I spotted and snapped up an '88 Silvia. One of my favourite brands, but not a good year. Oh well. And then it hit me. Justin? No... Isn't it "just in"? Ohhhh. Why couldn't Polyphony Digital use "NEW"? Well, whatever. It'll be my little secret.

Mere moments later, one of the icons lit up on our Mumble server.
Friend: "Wow... Who's this Justin guy?"
I burst into laughter and grip my armrests to avoid falling out of the swivel chair. I tell him it actually read "JUST IN", and we have another round of chuckling when a second friend connects to our Mumble server. We were waiting for him so we can finally start the game together, and finish the night off with a 3 way online battle. I tell him he's slow, and he apologizes. My first friend and I settle down discussing our picks out of the available starter cars, and comparing our used car lineup. The second friend asks for some advice, and my first friend tells him to check the used car dealership first.

After a brief pause...
Other friend: "Yo! Who's this Justin guy?" The Mumble channel is instantly flooded with our laughter as we reveal the true identity of Justin. We finished some License Tests and A-Specs to grab some upgrades and finished the night off with a 3 way battle.

He has a good streaming online TV service. I do sometimes watch the Barcelona games on Justin.tv

He has fingers in a lot of pies!!
 
Mine says "New" and has done from the start :confused:
 
Mine says "new" too...
 
Oh, I see... So the EU release says new, while NA gets just in.
I think whoever is in charge of the NA localization needs to be shot.

That might be for the European game. Who knows?
I am a Justin victim :lol:
I looked at the UCD and wondered: "Who the heck is Justin?"
:lol:
 
I didn't actually think It said "Justin" but I did immediately notice the fact that Just and In are pretty close together, I chuckled.
 
hahah! I thought the same thing, I kept thinking what the heck Justin had to do with anything.
 
I thought someone was taking about Justin Beiber and put it in the wrong forum section.
 
Screenshot? I am confused to what you guys are talkling about:)
 
hahaha I knew exactly what you meant. I thought that the first time for real. lol I was like "Who's Justin? Oh well, let me buy a car."

If you don't know what we're talking about, then you're not Justin victim. You'd know it right away if you were, haha.

In the used car dealership when new cars come in, it blinks "Justin" "Justin" "Justin", but under more careful observation, I noticed it said "Just in". The gap between the two words are so close, I (and others) mistook it for "Justin".
 
My game is american and it says that JUSTIN!
 
I AM JUSTIN :)

I have all the cars you could ever want :)
 
Glad I'm not the only one who struggled with this. I bought my PS3 used, so I thought it might have been the last owner's name in there since I didn't do a clean HDD wipe. It actually took me a good 5 days or so before I realized what it meant.

Huge game error! We need a patch! I'm returning my game to Wal Mart for a refund!
 
Lol I found myself going "wtf, Justin? What does he have to do with these cars?" Then realized it was just in. They got me with their trick. ;)
 
Lol, nice to find that I'm not the only one wondering about this! :p
 
Chuck Norris is scared of Justin, apparently :)

JUSTIN - 1
CHUCK - 0

This internet meme has begun!
 
my roommate and my buddy both fell for the justin at 2 different times lol
 
lol Not I, but that was the first thing my 11 year old sister said when she saw it, I immediately thought of GTP(because you're not the first to make this topic) and busted out laughing.
 
Why is this crap cluttering the GT5 section?
It should have been started in the GM threads
