It sounds a lot like when the japanese version came out. That one required a major update too and took quite a few times to succeed. Just keep retrying, you'll get it in the end.
I think that you got an early print of the disc and that a number of bug fixes and other stuff are now available.

Amar just called... 35 online events (all time attacks are in pro mode?) 👍, no private lobby
If I remember correctly though, one of the SCEA guys said that voice chat and private lobbies WOULD NOT be available from the start, but would most likely be added in a later update.
35 lobbies though, looks nice!!

Are there more race events or is it just those 5 and the rest are time trials ?

I have CoreAVC and I still can't play that Ford GT vid. Oh well, I should have the UK version of the game tomorrow or Thursday so whatever.
Other HD vids I've downloaded have played smooth enough in the past, I've downloaded that GT vid twice and it just won't play anything better than 1-2fps.

There is no update for the Japanese version yet, I'm online right now & did not get a update.
There is now a clock in the online event area though.

Numer0bis' videos will be appearing on our homepage in a lower resolution (although still very nice in 16:9) in just a few minutes.Thanks. I'll try that when I get home. Not sure on what model PC, but it's an HP. (80gb HD, 512mb ram)
Edit: If anyone can download those videos, de-HD them a bit.

1st try and pass. I guess having a FTTH was a good thing.
There are plethora of details in the update, while single most important is terminal absence of ABS (if set to 0) for the first time ever in the series. I'm so delighted by this that I've even created a special thread for it. So, if you think you can say word or two about it, pop-by and spill it.

As for other news, there are 35 Events available in the Online section, Races and Time-Trials.
Notice that races are 50-50% Standard/Professional - while all Time-Trials are Professional. Also notice that all Time-Trials are limited only by handling model and PP points. In other words, you can participate with ANY car and any Tire-compound, as long as their respectful manage gives obliged amount of PP's. I find that great, because now there will be enourmous amount of combination for every Event.
Also, pre-race menu has changed, and now you can access to QTS menu prior to the race. Also, clock is now displayed in Pre-race menu.
Match-making is so far working great, while the lag is almost non-existant. However, so far I've been racing with only small filed of drivers, it has to been seen what will happen in 16 players races. Notice that game encourages you not to participate in large-field races if you don't have good connection.
There is Free-Race mode as a part of both Online Race and Time-Trials, where you can drive any car on any track with any tire-compound. However, results are not added into Online Rankings - which leads us to another detail:
Time-Trial races for Online Rankings (available through Arcade mode) will obviously have only S2 tire-compound available, making Online Rankings focused on showing TOP100 drivers all the time. I still find out JP system better, but I guess that competition will get more fearsome as the time will go by.
Notice that Drift Trials are added in Online Rankings menu, together with Time-Trials.
Also, Museum is working now, while there is still no glympse of "Behind the Apex" movie in GT:TV - and all other 4 movies that were previously available during Online-Test phase (Evo X and GT-R documentaries) are not available.
That's it for this, now I'm heading to enjoy in fact that ABS is finally dead. This is a whole new universe now for all old-core Gran Turismo players.
Notice that you'll need to make some port-forwarding if connecting your PS3 to the internet via router. Although game gives you details in News page (now with just some basic news, while there are no News in Dealership section), you can find all info online here (together with glympse of future official Forum):
