Their were over 500,000 online players on launch day and Thanksgiving day! Sony already has a patch out so the servers can now allow up to 1 million players! Awesome game, if you can find it.
GT5 Online fail?

(I work for the Online department of a rival software company, so I felt compelled to post this 🙂 )
Sorry kids – This is from a guy who remembers bein’ 11 and bootin’ up his Commodor 128 back in 1985 just to play a lite version of Commando!!!
Where has technology gone!!!! CRAZY!!!!!!!!
OK – We need these guys (Sony) to address their talents for international talks and such…
The G20 summit meetings could be held anywhere in the world for under twenty thousand bucks and they could not only all talk to each other from their own homes/offices and solve the world’s problems, but they could then spend the rest of the day runnin’ each other’s courses!!!!
Finish it all off with a screenin’ of Cars, double featured with cars 2 advance screenin’ and there you go!!! What a deal!
It’s out, just bought my copy in the UK… 🙂
Ok Game, but there was always things with the last Gran Turismo games that annoyed me.
One step in the right direction is that instead of using the steering wheel attachment, there is now a racecar chair with wheel, brakes and accelerator attached.
According to Amazon, November 24 is the release day… the day before Thanksgiving… that could be a good release date.
(MET: September, November, potato, potatoe … 🙂 ).
September 24?
I suspect a typo in the headline?
Met, when does this come out?
the headline says september…
