For those who are against this. Nothing says you have to get an obscene amount of money/cars?
Its just like racing career mode, some like the challenge others probably use over powered cars just to get through it.
So, Why not just do it to put a little money in your pocket? Or a specific car you may love?
This glitch is really in your hands...just like the kind of car you use in career events. If you are using overpowered cars to blow out the competition continously, no races on earth are like that. Why wouldnt you do this glitch?
Its funny to see "I do gone with the wind in 4mins" but is it a competetive race (meaning do you ever lose that race?) Wouldnt that have the same effect as glitching the money you want/need and moving foward to other things?

I think that's a good way of putting it!
I've played Gran Turismo since the very first game on the weekend of its UK release. I've grinded for hundreds of hours over the course of the entire series to save for cars worth several hundred thousand credits. If they've been worth millions then the chances are, I've only driven a handful of them.
I know why companies like Polyphony do it, to increase the satisfaction when you may eventually afford one and add to their desirability, much like real life. But all it does it lock those cars out for the majority of players, not because we're lazy or are not good enough, simply because we don't have the time or inclination to re-race races for hundreds of soul crushing hours to buy 1 car.
In the day and age where Polyphony & Turn 10 are now charging real money on top of the £40 we've already spent to drive these out of reach cars, I'm happy that an exploit like this has surfaced. I wish these companies can come up with a better way of mixing the satisfying progression of eventually driving these cars without locking them out for mere mortals.

So the garage limit is 500, right?
I've been going this for the last days.
I had 800 million credits. That sum probably buys you all of the cars (-minus all the vision cars, dlc...).
My garage has 450 cars now. All cars above 100000 credits are bought. Excluded are some duplicates (Mazda 6 Touring, HSV,...)
Leaving me nearly all the other cars (700*50000) 35 millions to spend for the rest.
I still have some millions left from the 800.
So approx. you need 800 millions to get all the cars in the game. How long do you would have to grind for that?
It's ridiculous.
Now, thanks to the super nice glitch, I have all the cars I want (last time that happened was gt1 - gt4) 👍
I mainly do time trials and drifts so yeah
And if Poly were to corrupt savefiles from people who did this, well then I will play forever on 1.01 or 1.00 muhahahaha

Well... I would not be surprised if PD did something VERY lame on the matter. Like, yes, make all chaeted savegames unusable.
The fact there is still no fix when many very easy solutions exist seems to point that PD is working on something more ambitious than just fixing the exploit.

Glad to read you again Hun : ) !
Do you really think so mate? I don't know.. I haven't done this yet in case of loosing my PS3 account (ban) on a later point, as I've spend a lot of money on PlayStation Store games (indie games) and I would miss my trophies too.
I've been looking for information regarding past GT 5 bans. As far as I know, those who used the money glitches (which in my opinion were worse than this, as they were real "track glitches") were not affected at all. On the other hand, the ones creating or using hacked cars were told to be banned on an official Polyphony Digital message (I think banning only from the GT 5 online, not banning their accounts) but I don't know if they were banned at the end or not. I heard some were banned but not 100% of them. And that was done 4 months after the incident..
In this case the difference is that macro transactions are on the way. I've been playing GT series since the first installment and GT 6 is the worst regarding career balance. GT 5 was bad on its balance but GT 6 is ridiculous.
But sometimes I think we're in a rush and that GT 5 was exactly like this on the beginning (and maybe we should wait until they put seasonal events). But then one see also the rigidity glitch and.... jesus... it's so clear that this game is affectedt because of the macrotransactions... (like GTA V was with the online ammo price).

We'll seeing how PD might think the economy is broken in the game now after the glitch, hopefully they will release more dlc just too make up the loses from the glitch. More cars the merrier I'm looking forward too

Hi there, long time!
I never got into hybriding and even if I did I would never take abnormal cars to regular online rooms, so I guess that's what made PD / Sony hit out. This is nothing like that, I think there's no cause for alarm. In any case, use a different PSN account to play GT6, not the one making the purchases on PSN. I always did that, I have only one account that is able to buy stuff online, and that's the only thing I do with that account, I never play games with it.
Cheers!

I wouldn't name these "loses". They never lose mate, they just steal less..We'll seeing how PD might think the economy is broken in the game now after the glitch, hopefully they will release more dlc just too make up the loses from the glitch. More cars the merrier I'm looking forward too
I would pay if they release a DLC adding new trophies (some kind of big expansion).

Thats where they should of been looking to make the extra cash anyway. I'm quite dissapointed that Sony/PD added micro transactions.We'll seeing how PD might think the economy is broken in the game now after the glitch, hopefully they will release more dlc just too make up the loses from the glitch. More cars the merrier I'm looking forward too
Adding this kind of practice shows very shady business.

There is a difference here, that is important:
Hacking a file using a Hex editor - whether to create credits, or pimp out a car to a ridiculous level - is against "terms and conditions"... and as such, legally, they can ban your account.
Glitching however, is very different. It is simply exploiting code that is already there.
So, using this 20M glitch is legally, no different to exploiting a track, or a tune that allows you to improve your place on the leaderboards etc. etc., and the most they can do, legally, is reset leaderboards or remove the times of glitchers, and fix the glitch.
Of course, in practice, it is not likely they will be sued in the civil courts by a person so banned, so they could in theory, do what they want.
Of course, if they do this, they will be losing a lot of potential customers for their monthly DLC packs. So, commercially, it may not be a great move.

Lol. Still the haters gonna hate.
All I know is I drove the GTO and it was greatness. Doing the grind the normal way? That was never gonna happen with a two year old and a business to run.
Thanks to this unattended feature by the programmers I can enjoy the game to the fullest instead of lamenting never getting to drive the best cars.
I hope PD will get their head around this for future releases and realize we just want to play and elitism sucks.

Exactly my thoughts mate. Exactly my thoughts. But then I readed this: https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1260
Where they have this gem:
I know the chance is almost 0%, and as you said it would be the worst marketing move they could do (specially now with thousand of users doing this on top of IGN and even the Official Playstation Magazine sharing this cheat), but hey the macrotransactions were also an horrible marketing move and there they are.
Anyway, the more people doing this, the less chance of anything done against us (I really don't see Polyphony Digital loosing such an amount of fans).
I hate what nowadays gaming has become... years ago in 1998 we were all enjoying transfering our cars from Memory Card to Memory Car in Gran Turismo 1 and no one complained. Now with all this online thing gaming is just boring sometimes, too much updates and incomplete games. I still miss these cars only reserved for the skills (GOLD in the hard licences), now you can buy everything with money.

I have been playing GT5 for 3 years and there are still about 550 cars that I do not have. My GT time is limited and I prefer to use this time to race with real people online, not grinding with mindless AI to save creds for cars.
Now with GT6 PD get tight with the credits but offer us a solution with Micro-transactions to help "busy" people out!!! How about just pay us higher credits for winning so we do not have to grind or pay real $£ to progress.

The only thing is... why would you actually want all the cars in the game? There are like 50 Miatas that are essentially the same... same thing with Skylines, GTRs, NSXs, Supras, etc etc etc... I had so many cars in GT5 and I pretty much hated it... it took years to find the car in the garage that you wanted

I've only had time to do the glitch once. Already spent 1/4 of the 20M credits. I really want to do it again but my internet is really slow the the patch takes ages to download. I know people were already complaining that it takes long - but when I say my internet is slow... I mean almost dial up speeds so I don't even wanna bother. This game is going to last me till drive club comes out then i'll trade it in.

That can happen with out the glicthing also, you do some races, you spend all your money buying cars, then you sell all of them and you buy cars again... you have spend more money that you have earned...
Just some thought, after the glicth I enjoy the game on a all new level, cus now I can do all the races with a stock car with no worries.
I even use diferent cars on the same category depending on the track (ex. euro hot hatches, only japan cars and so on) so i can test drive them all... Happy days
