GT5 stuff

Thanks for the reply

I got the normal edition which was suppose to come with the "exclusive stealth car", but so far so signs of it, i am wondering if i have to unlock it or it's suppose to be there at the begining of the game.

I pre-ordered mine from play, and got the stealth cars.
You should have been sent an email with the codes for them, and you 'redeem' them from the playstation store

i know when i ordered fallout: new vegas, game.co.uk screwed up 3 times before i got the email with the correct codes

Play didn't send them, i will have to chase them up for it. What a hassle.

I pre-ordered from Amazon and got a McLaren F1 and a Mazda Le-Mans type thing. I got the ocdes before the game arrived...

I wonder if the codes are single-use or if they can be swapped.

[Roboxrr4]

Just got the codes sent me via email from play. Unfortunately they failed to tell me how to use them.

Could someone tell me how to use them?


Thanks in advance.

All you need to do is redeem them via the playstation store.
There is a button in the top right corner that says 'redeem code'

The codes are single use.
And the codes can be swapped - as long as you havent redeemed them yet.
I think the cars can be 'gifted', but i havent tried

New patch is mega!

Update Notice (1.05)
Dec 20, 2010

A new update has been released for Gran Turismo 5.
The main contents of the update are as follows:

・Seasonal Events
[Seasonal Events] have been added to the upper left side of the [GT Mode] - [GT Life] screen. From here you can participate in official online events from the Polyphony Digital team.
In these events, all participants race under the same regulations, and if you complete the event you will win rewards and experience. In Time Trials and Drift Trials, compete on the leader boards with players around the world.

・Online Dealership
An [Online Dealership] has been added to the left center of the [GT Mode]-[GT Life] screen. In here you will find popular and rare used cars.
You might just come across that one car you’ve always been looking for, that you haven’t been able to find in the [Used Car Dealer]

・Online Race Rewards and Experience
When you complete a race in the [Open Lobby] or [My Lounge], you will now gain rewards and experience points.
Therefore if you are focused more on playing online, you’ll still be able to gain rewards and levels that you need to progress in [GT Life].

・Driving Distance and Number of Wins in Online Races
The driving distance and the number of wins you achieve when you complete a race in [Open Lobby] or [My Lounge] will now affect your stats in [Profile] and the [Garage].
Here again the results from your online play will cumulate within [GT Life].

・Improved Rewards
The rewards for winning races in both A-Spec and B-Spec in [GT Mode]-[GT Life] have been increased for a limited time only. (This applies until the end of January 2011)
This is a great chance for those who were previously having difficulties getting ahead in the game, due to a lack of funds for tuning and purchasing required cars.

・Race Information Display
[Race Information Display] is now available in [Start]-[Quick Options]. (You can also see this in [Race Display] in [Options]).

・Save Data Backup
You can now copy and restore your save data. For details, please refer to the in-game [Manual].

・Personal BGM (Menu)
From [Options]-[Hardware]-[Audio], it is now possible to set the [Personal BGM] (Menu)]. (This can also be accessed from the [Music Library] within [GT Mode]).

・Car Name Change
The official name of "Red Bull X1" has been changed to "Red Bull X2010".

・Integration with the Website
The main features within [GT Mode]-[Community] can now also be accessed through the "gran-turismo.com" official website.

[Important Note:]
* We have made improvements to the [Log] within [GT Mode]- [Community] section, in order to make its operation more stable. Please note that the information that was here before the update has been reset.

* Some contents of the update will not be applied unless you sign in to the PlayStation®Network when you play the game.

[To Check Your Current Version]
To check the version of your software, press the "Manual" button at the bottom of the main menu screen. The version number will be located on the upper left of the index page in this manual.
