GT5:

I got an email from a friend that was an Excel spreadsheet of every little detail regarding tuning every car, every race ands its XP-prize money stats and just so much more..

Would put it on here but i dont... nevermind ill PDF it... nice!

New Seasonal Events are out.

Ferrari Formula Challenge
4WD Challenge
FR Challenge
FF Challenge

Not sure what you get from each, but so far the 4WD challenge hasnt exactly blown me away with reward. And I told you the Ferrari formula1 cars would come in useful

You get little exp and money... its just a change up of how the seasonal events have been so far.

This must be THE most boring game I've EVER played...

*Bangs head on table for buying the Sig Edition*

What an idiot

What an idiot

I saw the GT5 Sig Edition on special for R699 a few weeks ago. If you payed full price, you are gana need a new table! lol

yeah but you found it firstly after the sig edition competition was over and 2 months after it was released. People who really wanted the new GT5 couldnt wait that long

New Seasonals aren't that great but at least now I can use the 2 F1 cars I own in a few races. Would of liked more cash and XP though.

As long as they keep releasing the seasonals I'll keep playing the game

Do the F1 races get you much money and XP? Wanna know if its worth saving for or not...

Between 28000EXP - 36000EXP for each race, 3 Ferrari races and around 128000 - 135000 credits per race

hmmm, so not a huge amount then. May just skip them, although I still do wanna get myself one of the ferrari F1 cars.

6.37 million sales in first 6 weeks. Well done Polyphony

To each his own regarding their opinion of GT5, and i haven't played the game in a few weeks but with updates like these and most likely more to come bringing in better and updated features its looking better and better everytime.

And indeed, well done to PD

yeah, personally i'm stoked about it. Makes the game's replay value a lot higher. Having said that I still havent updated, keep forgetting to!

Nice update, sadly I'll probably never go back to the game, was great while it lasted.
