If so, that is honestly not my intention. Seriously, where does my post sound like flamebait?

Ok fair enough. Accept my apologies and let's move on.

Pretty much, that wasn't my intention at all.
I'm just defending SMS/EA a bit here. Mostly SMS, though.
Being a PS3 owner myself, I don't doubt that. in fact, I know it's true. The PS3 has the hardware to pull great stuff off, no questions asked.
From what was said during development (it has posted on these very forums quite a few times), the PS was the lead platform for S2U, so I can't see any reason why the differences should be due to porting issues. Plus, an awful lot of multi platform titles are worse on the PS3, so yeah, it's not just SMS/EA, either way.
I just don't think it's as easy as pointing fingers at SMS, because the game works fine on the console the game was ported to.
Now we're seeing loads of problems with DLC acting funny while PSN is down, while everything's fine on XBL, which is working properly.
This isn't to say that all the bugs are caused by Sony or anything, I just doubt that it's coincidence that, right now, everything that's somewhat connected to the respective online services is working better on the Xbox. And that was what I responded to in the first place:
A patch messing with the game's data, which I could imagine is due to PSN being completely upside down at the moment.

👍 Did I already mention I'm really looking forward to getting this DLC?
That youtube movie of the 'hidden oval' in Monza just makes me want it that much more!!

Agreed, let's cut them some slack. Personally I'm not experiencing that many issues anyway.
Ah, I didn't know that. So, indeed, that's surprising. I was expecting the PC to be the lead platform since the developers come from a PC gaming background and developed their original game engine on it.

Really want to play this DLC, it's been the one I'm looking forward to the most. And from what I've seen the value for money is great considering what the same price in HP3 got you. Shame PSN is down still.

Yeah, well... maybe the two of us are just equally lucky
That was quite suprising when I read about it as well...
Back on topic, though:
One thing I think that has to be noted is how friggin' awesome the new old tracks are. Old Hockenheim, just amazing! Even though the tracks are so fast that a lot of cars that are more build towards good handling characteristics will be eaten alive there, but, whatever

Just purchased the DLC a few minutes ago and I will have to say that you would be a fool to skip out on this. All of Forza's DLC never did anything special like this has.
Stock Cooper and still nice to drive. If this car was in another game it would have been a complete bore and lifeless.

To me, that's the crucial difference between Shift 2 and another game. In Shift 2 the cars feel alive and engaging. Whatever the physics model lacks in realism, it makes up for it with lots of soul.
Even when racing relatively tame cars like the Golf GTI, it still feels exciting when driven near the red-line, while fighting it out with similar AI cars, taking chances diving into corners etc.
I can imagine the classic cars to be even more raw and unpolished without the electronic assists to help the handling.
I would have loved the Maserati Biturbo to be in the pack, but you can't have it all I guess
The coolest thing about the whole deal is that there is still another dlc pack with the twin turbo viper and Chris Rados drag scion plus drag racing so really they have covered it all with less cars than gt5 or forza and imo this is just a better game. They really have captured the spirit of racing and with the patches and all the finds that people have discovered to make this game driveable this is truly one of the best racers that i have played.

Let me tell you - keeping a car going straight and smoothly on that banking is hard! If you wreck so bad the car rolls and needs "reset" it will throw you out onto the main track.

I'm really enjoying all the new cars and tracks. Since the start, Ive loved the game. I for one, think SMS did a fantastic job overall. First racing game that's truly drawn me in. My girlfriend has been having fun just watching me and laughing as my body moves all over the place, as I try to keep it lined up with the car. She's even pulled out the cam in order to have something to laugh at later.
Anyway, the DLC brought it over the top for me. Would have bought it were it a game all by itself. The nostalgic touch to scenery was a nice addition as well( thats the best way I can describe)

GT5 was trading for Killzone 3 @ worten. Maybe you want to check that
I'm not mad because I know I'l eventually get the DLC. But, yes I, too, look like a child watinting for Christmas.
PSN beeing down only hurts because of Autolog withdrawal which is already showing

If you were a GameFly customer, you could "keep" S2u for about $35.

I thought I was the only one feeling the Gs
FFB my behind. This game is so good you can feel that lateral force going fast around a corner

Not alone. I'm not even using a wheel, and I've about worn a hole in the chair.
I usually find my jaw hurts after i'm done playing for the day. Makes me laugh, but it's true.

Check out Amazon's video game trade in page too. You can type in the title and platform and see how much they will give you for the game. You print out a pre-paid shipping label and send the games back and get issued credit towards an Amazon purchase. GT5 CE (usa version) was worth $70.
