Most companies do aim to dispatch three days before release date.

I feel a bit :dunce: for even adding overnight shipping to my order, but to not completely go overboard I opted for the normal edition. I seriously can´t wait anymore, and since games I´m really hyped about only come out every couple of years it´s definitely worth it :D It feels a bit like waiting for christmas as a kid again, and that´s very rare for me these days. As for the rest of the waiting period I guess I will just try to enjoy the suspense ;)
 
If the $200 gt bundle is pre-ordered at one of the 4 shops that are giving out the bonus cars, do you get the special white zr1 AND one of the 4 bonus cars?
 
Don´t think it´s exclusive cars but rather just special colors, exclusive cars in somthing like GT would be insane and just wrong, if PD/Sony even thinks to try a stunt like that i´ll be booking my ticket to Japan for a quick visit to their HQ. ;)

Who said they were exclusive cars? We all know it is just a special color, but the larger benefit is that it is available to you from the beginning, so you won't have to save up and wait for the dealer to come around before you can get one of these. If Bugatti doesn't show up but once every 300 game days you will be waiting to have a chance at a Veyron, but the pre-order means you have it when you start.

What I am wondering the whole time: Doesn´t this kinda destroy the anticipation? People complain the whole time that a missing career mode destroys the reward system, but having some of the best cars in the game being put in your hands right from the start sounds a bit like spoiling things. This is actually the reason for me to NOT buy the collectors edition - why should I try to learn how to drive with the start car when these luxury models fall right in my lap?

Same goes for unlocking cars in GT5 via GTPSP - doesn´t this mean you´re half-finishing the game before it´s even out? :confused:

It's just one, unless you got a collector's edition too, so all it did was give you one good car in advance. It isn't much different than when people gold all their licenses first and wind up with a garage full of cars before ever touching a race.

It depends on what you call finishing the game. Some people see finishing as completing the races, so no. Some see it as collecting all the cars, so yes. And some, like myself, don't see a finish to the game, so definitely not.
 
I was going to get the PSN download, but now that I know the UMD has an install to memory stick option, and i've heard nothing about PSN pre order, special car colours, or game price, I might just go and get the UMD version ordered. Oh and wifi is pretty weak on the PS3 and I don't fancy downloading a 1gb game over it.

Are you in the US?

If so:

If not then start checking your region's news sites.
 
PSN Question - Can you still buy games from US PSN even though I live in Europe? I know the Hong Kong store has stopped allowing this.
 
Use Sony MediaGo and a usb cable.

So I can download the games/media with my pc and then copy it over to the PSP?


If not, can anyone look up on his/hers PSP manual which wifi protocols are supported by the PSP? I've searched for it on the net, but can't seem to find it.

Yes, you can download any media via sony's media go with your PC, you just need to have your PSP connected into your computer through usb, the program will then copy the files to your PSP :)

Ah, great!

We're receiving a new router within weeks from the internet provider which has been giving issues with the PSP. Besides, cable is probably faster than wifi as well. Cool :)
