what about the accounts made in countries without psn support?

Those are the vast majority of countries btw, and I'm not buying dlc for a lvl0 US account.
 
Have not bought the DLC yet, but I could still drive SPA in online races. Strange...
Yes, if you join a room with a host that has the track, you can drive there. 👍 As a matter of fact, I have put it up as the default track in my own online lounge, so you can just join it if you want (even when I am not around). :)
 
The DLC cars arent anything special... the GTR that came with spec II is far more interesting IMO... and Ive tryed them all... except the karts

Yeah , I bought bundle , and I liked it untill I switched to the user I always play . if there was nothing special in this dlc than there was no so much discussion , right ?
 
I'm just glad thst I decided to switch to UK account. With all those online passes i knew something like this will happen soon. The thing that I hate is 1x of paints and the lack of ability to own multiple dlc cars.
 
I'm wanting to buy the DLC as soon as I get home. Is it worth it?

If you have 1 PSN account and 1 only, and your PSN, PS3 and disc are all from the same region, it is definitely worth it. If any of the above differ from your current setup, you may encounter some issues but the DLC is still a pretty good deal.

That is because DLC is in Spec 2.0 already. You need to buy it to unlock them ;) It is little strange though that for some reason they have not locked the online component of it

Nice one fella 👍

That's me aboard the DLC train.
 
This is plain stupid, I don't know if they're just being greedy or whatever went through their minds.

I play GT5 in two accounts (one GTP_tagged, the other not)

My son plays GT5, in one account.

Do I have to buy SPA 3 times ???????????????????????????? If I do, I will NOT buy it, at all!



If Jordan, any admin, super mod or mod is watching (especially one of the UK ones that like to organize LAN parties with dedicated alternate accounts ;) ) .... please, make this be NEWS in gtplanet.


^^ this ^^

Really, I think this should be news in gtplanet.
Here at home, I, my father and my sister play GT5. For me it was a buy in hour 1.
But now, every three of us would have to pay for it.
This is not how we are used in doing this kind of DLC business at all. I most likely will not get it anymore. :\ 👎
Really, I don't think its nice, nor worth. Very strange. First time I see this.

It would be more expensive than many games out there, $35.
Maybe even GT5. That all of us three can play with the same disc.
Which has a lot of tracks, cars and is a physical disk.

Please someone correct me if I understood it wrong.

And then, probably not...
Because you cannot "install" it again thru the DLC-button... It will state "Is already installed".. :(

Have you tried going to the PSN store and seeing if it let's you buy it again? I read somewhere that you can buy the cars/paint/gear more than once on the same account. I'll have to see for myself next week I guess.
 
Yeah, very pissed off at the moment...
I downloaded the DLC from the store with my dad's account (never downloaded dlc before, and my login didn't show any cash, since I have a sub account, but my dad's one did, so he told me to buy it from there). Then I log into my GT5 and what do I get? Nothing. No flipping cars, tracks, paints etc. And a message saying it's only available for the user who downloads them... So my subaccount doesn't have cash, so I can't use any DLC? Someone is going to get some GBH in the earhole from me... Or from my dad.
 
has anyone noticed how the dlc was in the 2.0 update, and no download needed today, just had to be activated through the psn store

does anyone know if we can re-use the paint chips in the dlc or are they one use only ?

One use only.
 
Region lock DRM Nazis go to hell. :grumpy:

Right now I'd wish all Sony managers were locked in a Hotel room in Zaire, with a PS3, online access, a north american PSN account and a european credit card, and the only way out for them is them doing a hotlap in Spa with a McLaren F1 stealth!

And if they fail, they have to have an orgy with Rosie O'Donnell. :yuck:
 
Kaz wanted to make it realistic. When I bought my Pinto, I only got one. When I bought a suit for my friends wedding I only got one, when I bought a can of paint to paint my bathroom, it only worked once, then it was empty.

Geez kids these days. It is a simulator after all.
 
Got the DLC, love it.

The new go kart track is even better then I hoped, they just need to add some new Seasonal Events with Spa and the Go Kart tracks cos I wanna earn XP and Credits while racing them. Hopefully this will come later this week, it's actually very important in my eyes that these tracks get a Seasonal Event.

Also, where's Stig? I was under the impression Stig was in the DLC but I haven't got him?

His helmet is Simpson Diamondback and suit it the Alpinestars one.

Wrong...


I went to the Singapore Store, Bought the DLC. Tried to use it with my save file created by my Singapore account and it did not work.

I think it may be that my game disk is region USA???

Bro, I face the same problem as you.

PSN account (for GT5): Singapore
GT5 game disc: USA
DLC purchased from: PSN Singapore

As a result, I got nothing from what I paid. This is insane

Re-post


What a pointless direction this thread went. I'm pretty sure 65.8% of the complaints have been covered by now, at least, 3 times each.

ITT, another_jakhole undermines his attempts to paint himself as impartial.


Again.

My sarcasm detector is in the shop for repairs, are you being sarcastic?

The problem with this is that most people who do have multiple accts for different racing leagues cannot afford to buy multiples of the DLC and if accts are on one console they/we should not have to spend upwards of $40 to play the game (especially if the CE or above was purchased in the beginning)
