The first downloadable update for Gran Turismo 5, version “1.01” (133MB in size), has already been issued in preparation for Wednesday’s worldwide release. Although a complete summary of the changes 1.01 brings have not been published by Polyphony Digital, many players have already started to notice small tweaks in our forums.
Notably, the online functionality for the game was briefly available and, according to these snagged screenshots, was quite impressive…

11 hrs, 35 mins
hey guys. wanna hear something crazy? i preordered the signature edition in a local game store, and they said that “if we are able to get it, you will be the first”. No way i was going to preorder it in a place that wasnt sure if they got it. so i preordered online. anyways, the guy from the local shop called me today and said that my game had arrived? “uhm, what version”, i replied. “The signature edition” he said.. and i said, “well you werent sure if you got it or not, so i preordered it somewhere else”. “okey, i’ll put it on our facebook page then”. Ten minutes later the game was on their facebook page for 2499 norwegian kroner. Todays exchange rate means that it costs 414 dollars!!!!!!! That is SERIOUSLY MESSED UP!
lolwut?
My copy had been sitting at my front door since Monday morning, but i’ve only just returned home from London now – time to play! :D
I am sitting here awaiting the final hours until I can pick up the game. I am on the east coast of the US and I purchased my copy @ a local Gamestop store. Fortunately they understand how painful the wait has been and will be opening their doors at midnight. I hope to be checking out the game (after the lengthy upload) around 1a.m. eastern standard time. I will open a celebratory beer and toast all the rest of you who are waiting! :)
My Gamestop already has their copies they just won’t sell them until tomorrow at 10am.
Gamestop told me they won’t get their copies in till tomorrow morning. WHY IS THE LAST FEW HOURS THE HARDEST????
Hahah, a 133 MB patch for a game that isn’t *technically* released yet! This new internet connected platform allows Yamauchi’s obsession to fully consume him. And I just got a phone call from EB telling me my collector’s edition will be in around 2 tomorrow. Win.
any mention of performance points to level out online race>>>????
No performance point anywhere m8, its just a list of cars that are available in arcade you can race online or any of your gt mode however you have tuned it! Its up to the host to change restrictions on what cars you can choose etc etc. I took my 250bhp ek9 type r online before with full suspension stage 1 engine tuning manifold new catback etc and i beat a bloke racing a aston martin around london good times :)
OMG there is another 30 mins of install. My friend is getting this I told him to clean up is HDD. In a year this game might take up 10 GB!!!! Or more.
In The Netherlands a lot of people have already received gt5 today.. I’m getting it tomorrow, but want it now too!!!!~:(
Me too…tomorrow but i don´t know if it would be morning or afternoon…so tomorrow i´ll bite my fingers all day.
Yeah, I wish I could have the possibility to play in the afternoon or even morning. I’m at university form 9 till 5… :(
What I really wanna know is if you’ll be able to use tuned cars online. I know in GT4 you weren’t allowed to use them during Lan or Splitscreen. I really hope you can.
Man…you don´t need an answer here…you can.For Sure!
yes you can i use my the 2 sec ago really good the online way better than prologue like way way way way better
tge online is working i m playing right now :)
could get it tonight but alas…..ive got work at 6am so its just another 30hrs to go
My CE copy arrived today! Is that early or what? Bravo!
Got mine today from local game shop, OMFG night racing the sarth is undescribable! and course creater is a good laugh, not even tryed gt mode :)
Where are you located? which gamestop has sold it already?
game shop* located in UK dude wait a few hours trust me it is worth it, so many features. cant wait to get on nurburgring at night. not got tht far yet tho :(
The wait is killing me and then there is another 45min wait for loading the game after you actually have it in hand :(
Wow, 3rd!
My game was Dispatched on Saturday with “Express 24hr shipping”. I was expecting it to be here today but guess not. I gotta wait until tomorrow like everybody else :(
133 megs. Make sure you have 3MB/s DSL at a minimum. Cable/T1/T3 users should have no problem at all.
Tomorrow is the day!
hood cams for al cars? …?
Maybe a upgrade on the standard cars. Hopefully.
Must. Have. Hoodcam.
The REMOVAL (I wish I could call it an omission, but hoodcam has been used in previous GT) of this crucial race-view is one of the MANY perplexing decisions by PD.
It would probably take less than a day for one programmer to implement this single view. Shame.
Wonder when the online mode will be available again. What else is Polyphony not telling us?
