DLC my friend, DLC...

Not worried at all. I'll be too busy saving up for multiple Zondas, touring cars, etc.

DLC = downloadable car?

I'm excited but I don't want to spend $65 on a game only to have to spend another $50 to get any good cars. Why can't they all just be secret and you need to win races to unlock them like the good 'ol days?

Why are you assuming they'll charge for more cars? The Lotus Evora, Ferrari California, Citroen Concept car were all released for GT5: Prologue free of charge. I'd assume you'll need to buy a "voucher" that you could use for any 10-20 cars, etc. Of course, if Sony/Polyphony decide to **** us (not impossible), then each car could be $1 or more. At that point, I'd only buy cars I've dreamt about.

Don't get me wrong - I agree wholeheartedly about how ghey it is to have 30 Miatas, 15 NSXs, etc.

I don't know if they will or won't charge for cars. To be honest, I haven't played any video games since my PS2 died 4 years ago while I was playing GT4. All of the things you can do as far as downloading content are completely new to me so I assumed that just like downloading movies to a PS3 or XBOX costs money, downloading cars in GT5 would as well.

If they do charge people to buy cars that aren't otherwise available in the game with real money, they'd better keep it cheap.

Forza car packs are $5 for ~10 cars.

awesome news! I guess I better get my time in on COD. Once GT5 is here nothing else will be played.

Are we going to set up some TS races?

Hi,

When this game comes out I will buy a PS3 to play it.

Living on dial up internet might severely hamper my enjoyment of the game though.

Cheers,
Nik
