Okay, so any future DLC cars > 1M credits will have value. Then that's the only "good" thing. But it's still a stupid workaround for a broken game. If I win two X2010s and I want to gift one to a friend, using the in-game car-gifting option, why shouldn't I be allowed to? (And the fact is that I did and now I can never get it back.)
To join you need to create a PSN account that begins with "GTP_". Since then I've been gifting cars from my original account to that one, and now I'm screwed.
It honestly isn't such a dramatic issue if you think about it. So you create new accounts and do the Seasonals. You can easily earn 4-5 million there. So you buy a car for 4 mil and just share it with your main account. And by this point I'd think that most serious GT5'ers would have a very nice garage already anyway. I know I do. I honestly don't "need" a single car, at this point it's just collecting. However, you'd have to create a few accounts and do the Seasonals several times to get the most out of it. Which means MONOTONOUS DRIVING, *NOT RACING*, against the horrendous AI in this game.
Nah, I take that back. In the end it's a terrible decision.

Not really. In a franchise that was always celebrated for the freedom it allowed in regards to playing it however you wanted, the simple fact that GT5 is so painfully linear is an objective problem by itself. That PD has spent their time since day one going out of their way to make it even more linear (by doing things like this, whose only purpose is to prevent people from playing it like previous games in the series allowed) just makes the problem worse.

It's funny you say that 'cause I was actually mad at how non-linear it was. First there were the license tests, which would level you up past the beginner events. And then there were the seasonal events that would level you up to like 12 after one race! And once you were that high, the stupid graduated-experience system meant that low-level events were worthless for both money and experience.
I like the idea of starting out with a crappy car and progressing to better and faster cars with the money you earn. But maybe that's me telling others how they should play now.
LOL, you're misunderstanding. We WANT it to be a driving game, and we're mad that they've made it so hard and annoying to actually get to DRIVE the cars that are in the game!!

Well for those expecting free DLC good luck i believe it when i see it. Dont think they give us upgraded standards for free. This game is about spenfing money, wanna gold the vettel challenge you need a wheel, with the wheel comes the seat.... CE gets you the chance to win an Sls why didnt i know that damn it.
The damage was done from day one everything they try to change it really penalyses the ones who fidnt "cheat" or how ever you wanna call it. Fact is this is the GT game most people rant about, gotta be a reason to that.

You can play GT5 two ways: You can grind to unlock events and cars. Or you can do the Special Events. And it was obvious that PD basically required you to do the latter because of how crappy the experience rewards were for normal races (plus a bunch of little niggling things that exacerbate the problem).
Previous GT games only had the prerequisite that you do the licences, and then you could literally do whatever race out of the hundreds that the game had to offer (with the two exceptions being the handful of races that unlocked after the GTWC in GT2, GT3 and GT4; and the endurance races in GT4. And the endurance races unlocked very early in the game in GT4), and buy whatever car in the game that you want so long as you have the money to do so.
The difference between the two systems (Pre-GT5 and GT5) is practically night and day.

I've been playing GT since GT first came out, then 2, 3 and 4. Never did it feel like I had to grind in any of those games. GT5 came out, and it was clear to me and my friends that the award money/car price ratio is way out of wack for the high end cars. How much was the most expensive car in GT4? How many races did it take to buy it? I don't remember either "fact", but that is because it was not a problem buying the expensive cars.

I thought trading of tickets was not allowed anymore, that's what I've been reading at least. I mean like 1000 ticket and level21, level24 and tickets like that.
NEVERMIND. Seems you can trade one ticket per PS3 per day.

What do you think about the fact that cars over 1,000,000 credits cannot be gifted?
EDIT: Guys, let's not try to get this thread closed.
Its not just over 1million. Just tried to gift a touring car worth 973k & cant

Considering PD charges no monthly service, they probably couldn't carr less if a bunch of people quit playing. They already have your $60 you paid for the game. Then, they can screw you over any way they see fit. Sure won't be buying GT6 (if they make one). GT3 on the playstation 2 is still better. More events!

I think it is a shame that they have imposed this limit in some respects, as the rare UCD cars will now be even more difficult to get one's hands on.
However, in terms of expensive cars in the New Car Dealership, and cars that are hard to earn (for example, the X2010 Carbon) I think this limit is a good thing. This is because I would like to think that the only people who own a Carbon have earned it through skill or hard work, and I would like to know who those people are, rather than assuming they probably got hold of one in a trade. It makes the effort I put in rather pointless, kind of removes a sense of achievement for completing a difficult part of the game.

I allready have all the cars I want, so it makes no difference to me.
But I dont understand why people like this new restriction?? Trading/duping does not effect anyone in any way, but removing the option for people to gain the car they want relatively easy makes the game worse IMO.
Now people who arnt able to play the game for silly amounts of time will never be able to drive the cars that they really want 👎
I dont understand how PD can sell a game all round the world and then make changes to the game whenever they feel like it.
If I bought a big mac and went and sat down only for a Mcdonald employee to come over and take the lettuce from it, I aint gonna be happy.

Yeah, I´m ok with that. On the other hand, if earning money in GT5 wouldn´t be THAT hard, dupping hadn´t showed up in this excessive way, either.
