Dude I bought the DLC~

Since there is no Download matter and no Download Icon in my own Download list.
I thought the "DLC" actual structure is "Service Unlock Key"
("Service" Located in "Account Management" > "Purchase Management" > "Service').

That's means why 2.0 update have 1.2 GB

After install Tuned Car DLC, You will received 15 Car ticket.

I will try Spa soon and whole DLC soon

Also~ I'm The Stig Virtual Cousin :D

Notice of DLC purchase:

1 : For US or other region user where didn't sell DLC:

We understand you want access the DLC right now. You may be thought purchase a DLC from other region PSN may be more quicker.However, this is a BAD idea ever.

I will explain why in follow :

1st: Since the DLC in actual is "service unlock key", when you purchase this, it will bundle with the account.
2nd: Your PSN account, GT5 Disc and the DLC, anyone is different region will incompatible.

If Your PSN account and GT5 Disc in different region, will result your own GT5 save may not able to have DLC in future. (The Game Disc image doesn't match the PSN Online Service)

So that, wanna play DLC without trouble?
Please make sure PSN account, GT5 & DLC are SAME region and Keep CLAM DOWN and STAY TRUE.



2: You want your multiple accounts could access DLC:

Due to GT5 DLC in actual works as "Paid service".

That means,this thing works doesn't like other Game DLC are download a files > done an once activation and all user on same PS3 console could access. Once Again, GT5 DLC doesn’t like others game.

Since you purchase the DLC, it will bundle with the account and ready to Unlock DLC in “GT5 DLC installation screen.”

So that, to achieve this goal. Please purchase a DLC for each account


3 : If you purchased a complete pack:
Don't be stupid to purchase duplicate Item in PS Store.


4 : Note for guys didn't bought DLC:
There is no trouble when you access the online room which using DLC. The DLC data is included in Spec 2.0 update.


Short Version:

DLC is Unlock Service, please make sure PSN account (Which create your main save) and Game Disc are same region. Online is no headache with DLC.

Lucky! How are the new tracks? And even though we can't purchase tracks, I wonder if we can join a room where someone from say the UK has and race.

Amar has shown that as long as the room host has the track, EVERYONE in the room can use it no matter if they've bought it or not

Just as I thought. Everybody already has the DLCs. Its just a matter of purchasing the key codes.
So that means, everytime PD decides to release a pack of DLCs, we have to update big time.
 
So Powderguy can we add you and start racing on SPA online?
I tried using the search by track online but it doesn't show Spa on there.

Well I just proved that right, I found a room hosted by someone with a Japanese flag and I was able to run around the track!
 
By chance, could someone confirm/deny the "one-paint-chip" theory with the DLC paints? And if it's even possible to redownload the DLC to "replenish" the paints?

Bummed we have to wait a whole nother week. I was hoping to come home from school tomorrow in the happiness of being able to throw some "new" cars around the TGTT- especially the X2011.

Also can't forget Vitru-Stig...might have to take a picture of him in the Tank Car :D.
 
Anyone tried to access in my lobby?

Yes you were just racing around the Nurb Ring. HOWEVER I set the region to all and found a Japanese chap hosting a server. Works. I'm stunned... Do I really need to buy the DLC if I only plan to race online?
Hey Jordans in here too

Real life Spa goodness

Just what it's like in game with the Yellowbird :D

A lot of Japanese guys are hosting rooms with Spa and Kart Space and I just enjoyed the freedom of joining for some free runs on Spa. Great looking track but I still have to discover why everyone adores it so much.
 
Can I just say I accidentally just joined a Kart Space room what a fun little track, Just Karts on it from what ive seen thus far sadly :(.
 
Tested it out with a couple of cars, track looks great and Eau Rouge is truly daunting. Iv driven the track in many different games but this feels the most faithful.
It is near impossible in the Yellowbird

Why do people think the tracks and cars are the reason for Spec 2 being so large?

Spec II for Prologue had double the cars of the DLC and one track. The size for that was 1.5gb.
