I am curious about one thing. I can't try it right now.
If I get SPA (and I'll get it for sure :) ), can I select it in my lounge so that my friends use it, even though they did not download it?

if you keep activating the download from the ps3 store you can get multiple everything

Don't see how that's possible in all honesty, because as people have said, the "DLC" is pretty much an unlock key, which means nothing gets downloaded.
 
I don't support PD's idea of limited game sharing. I thought they would have understood that people have families where more then one person plays on a DIFFERENT account. I would of made it PS3 locked so all accounts on that PS3 can access the DLC.
 
So to sum it all up in a nutshell, We can only use the DLC on one account, Thanks PD like im going to pay for my brother to have these cars on his account too, We can only use each of the new paints once and then we have to buy it again, I was unaware you've learnt business practices from farmville PD, We cant use even small cars on a Kart track another pointless restriction, And one of the cars we bought has a bug where by you can't even change the racing number on the side, Pretty damn pathetic if you ask me, PD wont be getting any more money off me unless these concerns are fixed pretty swiftly.

Use those chromes wisely........which is even more of a reason to be annoyed with the lack of a full paint preview mode.

Paint preview would really be useful. The colors always look different when applied to cars. Repainting a car in GT5 is like gambling...

The fact that every paint can only be used one time is a weak but unpleasant pain in my ... u know where.
On the other hand, it's a good way to keep this colors special, unlike the silver/chrome paints of which everyone's got dozens in between...

I can't wait to see the new Fluorescence paints, wonder how they will look (in the dark)? :drool:

So has anyone downloaded it on their main account and seen if it would work on their second account? I got a feeling (Or just hoping) it might work that way. :nervous:
Click to expand...

Yes I've tried it, and no it does not work on any other account than the one you bought it with.
 
I too will wait until I hear something from PD on this and see how the North American DLC launch pans out coming days.

Nobody's flooding Kaz's twitter feed with "Thank You"s for the DLC pack yet, in total contrast with a lot of appreciations of the Spec 2.0 update.... hmmmm

Calm before the storm....

You can not unlock a door twice once you unlocked it once can you?:dunce:

It would only be fair to be honnest... its like having to buy another GT5 disc to play on my second offline user...

Exactly. 👍

They totally f...ed it up for families, like the trading limit for PS3/day. :banghead:

I don't either. So you can buy the full game for $20 (I actually saw it on special for that price at Domayne the other day), and everyone in the family can play that game on their own account, and then you're expected to pay $18.95 for each member of your family who wants to use the DLC content?
 
Just done some quick maths I could be wrong as ive been up all night waiting for the DLC.

If I wanted to paint my RM cars and TC cars all the same colour like a complete racing team with the new colours lets say Florescent Yellow thats 30 cars and it would cost me buying paints alone a grand total of in pounds sterling £47.70.

Im sorry but I could buy a playstation Move starter pack for that, That frankly is beyond the joke.

Dude, if you are paying with a Credit Card, please check that you are NOT billed MULTIPLE times. How ? Call Sony maybe.

Else check your PSN card balance or such are intact.

PSN download page says you CAN BUY this DLC multiple times...... I hope you'll be alright.
 
Got it. Loving the new track. =)

This is becoming more interesting..

A lot of people will get mad, and I'm curious to see PD response to this
 
Not sure if this has been done yet but I'm about to paint a car in a new paint, send to second account, reload account and see if my paint is still there. Hmm
 
guys about the DLC multiplying it must have just been a glitch or something when i originally downloaded it i hit the download button 2 times thinking it hadn't downloaded, now when i go back to re-download but i cant do it. Sorry guys for the confusion
 
Being able to rebuy to rebuy DLC is low. That's on par with Games Workshop and EA.
Want all Bobs looking like clones of Stig? More money please.
Want two cars painted in your new favorite color? More money please.
I surprised you can't buy Spa again.
 
So I am screwed then? I have the Asian version of the game which I play on my JPN playstation account. Any downloads from the japanese ps store do not work with my game but if I download the Asian version of the DLC I cannot use it with my jpn psn id? That is pathetic.

Thank god you're SAFE !

So I take it you mean you still have 2 copies of the DLC contents in the same account, from the first attempts?

Ok I painted a car, sent it to second account, reloaded game and my paint was still there just as normal.
Click to expand...

But should we have to do that really we have already payed for the content we shouldn't have to resort the messing about duplicating cars to log out to log in to log out to log back in again :(

We cant use even small cars on a Kart track another pointless restriction...
Click to expand...

That's a real shame as I was looking forward to some rally car time trials around that. Although this isn't the first time a track has been restricted - anyone remember the Pod track in GT 2001 Concept Tokyo. We just hadn't paid extra for that one though and I'm not a fan of Karts. :indiff:

This simple,

Japan PSN account couldn't access the Asia PSN

also

Asia PSN account couldn't access the Japan PSN.

Just like, You bought a Windows, You asking help in Apple

I'm guessing your car at the 2nd account should be its ORIGINAL color, not the new DLC color. Oh please confirm this.... I'm lovin it.... :)

TC, I have a different problem. I am getting a "The funds could not be added to your wallet" or "error 8002xxxx" which is even more frustrating!
Click to expand...

Is your account a sub account by any chance? I had the same problem when trying to add funds from a PSN card to my wallet because of this.
