In hopes that one could prevent duplicate cars in a given year by gifting the card and opening it on the destination, I tried....

Still possible to get duplicates before one gets a full set.

Hmm, I´m born in 1991.
Mazda 787B is from that year :sly:
Maybe there are limitations on which car you can get, though.

Creating more accounts is just lame, but the gift-thing itself is nice.

I got a 91 nsx on november 28.
 
anyone know why my give to friend is greyed out? do i need to do anything on the dummy account before i can give it?
 
ive checked ign gt5 forum n i think no1 knows about this from there. u guys think is it cool to post on that forum or other forums n let them ppl know?
 
I got an '83 CR-X Ballad. I might have to sell it, though. I wonder if they'll give everyone a Christmas present. Although, that sounds like it might be coming early in the form of a massive update that will add a lot to the game and maybe fix some things, too.
 
How exactly can you make an account with 2010 as birth date? For me it just says "you don't meet the reguirements" or something similar when I try to register.
I tried registering through the ps3 and pc but neither one works

I got a Lancia Stratos Rally car `77 on Nov. 28 Hahahaha.

Is there any way to change our birthday date? so we can get a car every day.
 
Great advice BKViper, I shall bear that in mind when i get round to doing a 2010 account.
And for anyone else thinking of going for 2010, these are the cars you can get

2010 cars

Might take a fair bit of spamming to get an X1 (if it's even possible through this)

Oh man I'm gonna have to try 2010 soon.
 
So, there is no way to change our bday date on the existing accounts.

The only problem I found, is that to open a new account we need an email account, I read I guy create 10 accounts. How are you guys doing it?
 
Sorry if I'm being thick here (I normally am), but how are people getting multiple cars?

Can some kind soul provide the steps to do this?

1. create a new psn account and an user on the ps3 with the birthday today and the year you want
2.make the main account as your friend and accept it
3.go to the "fake" account and gift the ticket to your main account
4.after succesful, delete your save file and do it again, or if you want a different year, create a new psn account

Still wondering how can you get an 2010 account tough, doesn't seem to work for me...

You don't need a real email account - just something that looks like a valid email address, meaning in the xxxxxxx@xxxxx.com format.

Really? PSN doesn't ask you to confirm your e-mail address when you make a new account on the PS3 itself?

It does on the website at least .. but that's interesting.

Nope - it asks you to review what you entered, but no confirmation process needed directly on the PS3.
 
I finally figured out how to do it, and I'll write you guys a nice step by step guide.

First on your PS3 Main Menu you have to go all the way to the left and create a new user. Next, sign into your PS3 and your new user. Then go to PSN and create an account for it. Email just needs to be in the x@x.com format, because they don't send an activation email. Make birthday the current day and the year w/e you think will give the best car. Put in your address it makes it easier, because Sony actually validates the inserted address. For username and password it doesn't matter, but to make it easier remember to check the save password box. Once it's created, go all the way to the right on the PS3 Menu and press add a friend. Add your main account. Go back and switch users to your main account and add your new account. Switch back to your new account, open up GT5 and go through all the first time screens and then you get a gift card for a car. Don't use it! Go buy a used car first. Then go to Items and find your gift card and press triangle and gift to friend and select your main account. Once the gift is sent, quit Gran Turismo. Go into the game tab of the PS3 Main Menu and open the Save Data PS3 and delete the gt5 save. Then open up and again go through all the first time screens, then buy the used car and gift again. Keep repeating as many times as you want in the day. After you've done this enough, go to your PS3 main menu and switch to your main user. (Do not delete the new user! You will have wasted your time!) Once you've switched to your main user open up GT5 and press GT Mode and the Community Tab will have a Star. Open it, go to gifts, press receive all, and you're done. The cars you get will also depend on your A-Spec level, so I recommend you save those gifts until you reach level 20, so you can get the full potential out of them.

Why do you need to keep buying a random used car when you're not going to be sending that one anyway?

Also, not sure I understand the last bolded part - the cars you receive depend on your A-Spec level for your main account?
 
The cars do not depend on your A-Spec level. The car you get is completely random. For instance, I got several Ferrari 330 P4 Race Car '67 in my newly created acount.

It is also much quicker if you use the card, switch to another car (if you have chrome or stealth cars, otherwise buy one) and send the car to your main profile. Then leave the game, delete the GT5 savegame and try again. When you have send enough cars switch to your main profile and collect all the nice presents...
 
You can also gift the paint chips and musuem cards you get to your main profile.
 
Tried this.

1st attempt: Lamborghini Muira :D
2nd attempt: Chaparral 2D Race Car :D:D
3rd attempt: Mercury Cougar Xr-7 :sick:
4th attempt: Mazda Cosmo 110S :sick::sick:

I'll keep trying until I get another good car then that's it for now. *crosses fingers for P4*

Edit: did it another four times. Got a Honda N360, another Cougar and two more Mazda 110S' :crazy:
Meh.

This is truly awesome! When I activated that gift card I was super nervous. I didn't want to have gone through all that trouble just to get a Triumph Spitfire for god's sake. But when those headlights came on, I knew EXACTLY what it was. Lamborghini Countach baby! In the ugliest shade of green I have ever seen on a car. The hard part was trying to figure out how to gift the car back to my main account without reading any directions. Yeah that took about 30 minutes from my life. What idiot from Microsoft did they hire to make these god awful menu screens? Seriously.

You can still gift them back and sell them for $$$
 
Which year gives the best cash-benefit? Is that ´42, ´4 or 2010? Or another year? Can someone make a little list of what they sold their cars for?

Like I posted earlier, 1944 is a good year to earn easy money. You get the VW Jeep each time (It's the only 1944 car in the game!) and you can sell that for 73.5k!
 
Can someone find out if you can sell the 77 Stratos Rally Car? If you can it'd be better than the 1944 VW. For anyone interested I got it down to roughly 3 minutes per new gamesave. I made $500k in 25 minutes with the 1944 VW. :)
