Aye, it was originally going to cost £24.99, but a lot of stores decided to offer it on disc for £19.99.

Are you sure everywhere is sold out that you tried?

Sold out at play.com where I buy most my games. It would not come to me in time anyway.

Lucky I have 60gig PS3

First load up of GT5:Prolouge and you will need to install an update. Some updates fail and this is for a number of reasons. The update required allows you to play online.

More infor here.

When you all get the game, don't download the update at the first prompt, load the game up and then go into "GT:TV" it will then ask you to download it again, the download is more stable in there for some reason.

You can also try the following:

Even if an error occurs during the update, data downloaded up to the error is saved. Repeating the update will complete the download normally.

The update can be resumed as indicated below:

Select News in My Page after starting the game
Exit the game with the PS button, and restart the game.

Hope this will be of some help to those that get their pre-orders tomorrow/today actually (which is me in about 6 hours) or for those getting theirs downloaded tomorrow or on disc Friday.

If anything else develops then I will be sure to post.

By the way, anybody getting theirs tomorrw, maybe we can start a spoiler thread and title it with spoiler mentioned? ;)

Otherwise just keep your posts here without revealing too much for other folk who have to wait a further 24 hours to get it! :tu:

Sorry to hear that mate. :(

I am waiting for mine to be delivered. It was sent Special Delivery Guaranteed by 9am, except it's past 9am just now and I am not happy with Royal Mail. I am like a wean at Christmas. :D

Mine has just arrived. I got to say I am disappointed............ at why they took so long to release this game. The game is amazing, the grpahics are absolutley awesome and well, what else can I say?

Well done SCEE & Polyphony Digital.

The intro video is very good too, watch it before you start playing.

Now I am not going to create a spoiler thread or post any more detail on here regarding the game play and what's available etc.

What I will say is this. Once you start to load up the game, it asks you to install to the PS3 HDD. Do this (not that you have the option not to) and go and make yourself a cup of tea, because it does take a while. Once it has installed it will ask you to install an update. Decline to install and go straight away to watch the intro video.

Once you're past that it will go into the main menu screen and ask you to go to the Dealership to buy a car. Skip that and go straight into GT:TV and install the update from there. Any updates that are released will carry your credits (and possibly cars) but all other data is reset (replays etc..). Once the update is installed and it will take a while because loads of peeps will be downloading it, go straight into the game and enjoy.

I GUARANTEE you will not be disappointed at all. There have been some differences added from previous version of GT, but I am not going to say anymore.

Looks awesome on my 50" HD TV :tu: :D

Where did you pre-order it from? Did you not receive an email from your supplier stating that the game has been despatched and giving you a tracking number?

-Update-

40 Minutes gone and about 3/4 of the way through downloading the update. Patience is the key here. Remember some other European countries got theirs yesterday on official release and they will be hammering the Sony servers like no tomorrow, so bandwidth is going to be maxed out for a wee while. I think Sony may offer more servers for future updates, following updates to the PSN & Store which are due this afternoon.

I could recommend playing the game and downloading the update maybe in the wee small hours of the morning. Having said that, if GT5:P is released on the store today then the update servers may still be maxed. I guess patience is the key here.

@STONEISLAND - PS Store updates take place every Thrusday so it may be there today, but they may not make the download active until midnight tonight. As soon as I hear anything, I will be sure to post here to let you know.

I did check the store this morning before work gutted as not there was going to leave it running all day so it would be done when I get home tonight.

There was no updates this morning which is a bit strange?

Updates to the store usually take place on Thursday afternoons between 2-5pm GMT.

I may create a sticky for future reference so CF users can see store updates.

Also UEFA Euro 2008 Demo is available after today's update.

Great idea for a Sticky of what comes out on a weekly basis. MODs can we do this?
