GT5 XL:

-Includes Spec 2.0 updates on disc.
-Includes the DLC for Racing Car Pack, Car Pack 2, Course Pack, Racing Gear Pack, and Paint Pack.
-Has reversible cover art with the X2011.

Hopefully this will be the last dlc then. After buying this it would suck if they braught out more dlc.

This release doesnt include all the DLC that has been released I believe.


I dont think DLC is a bad thing. Took them over a year to star implementing it and that is fine by me.

I have not bought any cause I dont really need it. Still working on that platinum trophy little-by-little

So for anyone with the game already its a little pointless? Taking forever but eventually I'll have my plat trophy too!

Why would anyone reconsider buying the game if getting the DLC by itself would be cheaper?

I know what you mean but these re-releases are not targeted as existing buyers. Its to get new buyers.

What you got left to do?

I just got the endurance races left for me, leveling up my bspec driver to full plus the reaching the peak of his career and getting gold in those vettel challenges...

Pretty similar to me situation but got a few other special races to do.
Juggling this with Wipeout HD.... nightmare I tell you.

Does GT5 XL include all the game dlc or only certain ones ?

I heard that the xl edition comes with a voucher for the dlc that you must redeem on the psn/sen to download the dlc

Twin Ring Motegi possible coming to GT5.
On a side note, the official GT cafe is situated on this track.

Motegi race course is in GT5 (GT academy).
Wonder if they will give this out as a free track.

Off Topic, sorry....

I feel embarrassed to ask this, but if I don't ask, I will not know. How the hell do I switch accident dammage on in this game I've tried everything and looked in options etc...am I missing something or am I just blind?

*Hides head in shame

You don't turn it on, it's always on, no option from what I remember to turn it off either.

It's also dependent on the car whether it's a standard model or premium model.

I didn't realise this is a factor. I raced only my premium cars this weekend, so premium doesn't show damage?

Premium shows more damage than standard, with premium cars your doors can fall off and such with standard models it's just bumps and scratches.

It also depends what level you are, I only started seeing damage when I hit the level 30+ and even then I still had to bash a lot to get any sort of damage.

I remember there was a trophy or something relating to damage, drove my car into a wall at high speeds for about 25 minutes on the Rome circuit before a door fell off.

^^This made me lmfao!!!!

Ah...I'm only lvl 13 now, I actually traded my game in a while ago so I havn't played much thus my lvl is very low. My mate actually swopped me for Assassins Creed this weekend, so I thought I'd give GT a bash again, I'm afraid to say that the GT bug bit me, i can't seem to stop playing this game lol! Anyway, thx for the help, just a pitty accident damage comes in so late

The problem with damage in GT is that it is never going to be good unless they decide to completely simulate it. The devs are too stuck in the mentality of realism that damage has become a problem due to licensing with some car companies.

We can only hope in GT6 that it will be better, but I must admit that for me I do not really care. I dont play GT5 for damaged cars.... I have other racers for that.

@Sinn: I hear you, it's not that it makes any difference to me tbh, I just thought to myself "if the game offers damage, then I want it". So I thought maybe I have a setting turned off, thus my cars take no damage and that, but now I know why my cars take no damage. K...so, my next question is:

Which will be the best racing steering wheel with pedals and gear shift to buy for games like GT and soon to be released Most wanted 2? Don't really want to spend more than R3000...any opinions?

NVM....I'm, I'm getting this...
