Wall-E is indeed great at grinding GT5 
Speed: Watch the demo lap, I think it's by Vettel. Basically you'll find out you can go flat out in a lot more places.

550D owner here. Brilliant camera, great for everything... Recently bought a 17-85mm Canon lens for it, works a treat 
Won my X1/X2010 today in the Vettel challenge, thanks to the little guy below for helping me grind the Dream Car Indy race to get from lvl 29-30!
Also agreed with Forbin.
Quite an easy one, this

Can o'worms time (football fan arrested for offensive gestures...)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-12462959
The long and the short of this story is a fan was spotted making aircraft gestures - apparently mocking the 1958 Man U air crash which killed most of the Busby Babes - in a music video for Crawley FC's FA Cup song. He was then arrested for "suspicion of causing harassment, alarm or distress" and bailed.
I thought this would be (potentially) an interesting debate - is there a "freedom of expression" issue here? As offensive as the gesture was (and I realise Crawley will play Man U in the FA Cup this weekend), is offending the memory of a disaster/fans of a football team an arrestable offence?
I believe the gesture was in very poor taste and unnecessary, but illegal? Your thoughts please.

Has anyone else noticed the Veyron is listed in the dealership as an inline-6 engine, not a W16?
They've been discontinued AFAIK. Think their replacement is the T4R or something...?
Spook: That's bloody gorgeous. Truly unique, is it (relatively!) reliable, or a bitch to live with?
Like I said on GTP, what are the odds this is a hangover from the GT1 days and the game wasn't designed to recognise files over 4MB, as there was no chance of them becoming that big in GT1-4? Question is, if this is the case why did nobody realise the museum cards would break the 4MB barrier?
The snap overcorrection seems to lessen in bonnet view, definitely. Better visual feedback I would think makes it easier.
NSX: It's still a fun game to live out your playboy/driving fantasies, think of it like Outrun but more realistic... The wheel issues aren't a problem for me as it's a gamepad game really

Unlocked Hawaii today. For the guy who was wondering if the roads were still jagged etc, they're much better now. It's like Eden clicked TurboSmooth on the terrain mesh
Are these hoped to be better than GPL?
Apparently so, Nathan. Should be pay-for DLC on release day.
Ahhh, PC games from major publishers. Guaranteed to **** you over somehow.
DK: Yacht is 5million and available in the Ibiza 1 real estate agent.
Equinox: Pretty much. Talking of the driving missions, they're more varied now too. Luckily they've kept the "car delivery/convoy" missions which was one of the best bits of TDU for me as you had to drive safely

Bose: I am I play on PS3
Equinox: Homes and cars just require money to buy. Clothes need "Discovery points" to unlock...

Have you not sold the caravan yet? First thing I did when I had the money was buy a decent house and car, it doesn't feel like TDU when you're living in a trailer driving an old (albeit awesome) hot hatch

Nathan: Roads seem a lot smoother on Ibiza, haven't unlocked Hawaii yet so don't know if they've improved that. Physics/driving aids can be set on Hardcore from the start and as I can gather, they're pretty close to TDU1 and remind me of SHIFT. Realistic enough to not be Mario Kart/GRID, fun enough to enjoy properly with a pad. Overcorrection/fishtailing seems to be an issue when sliding, but this is probably more my craptacular-ness than the game.
Bose: It's best on console with a pad, I can imagine it's shite with a wheel.

Got my copy today
My god, it starts slowly with the dream sequence, crap house, crap (relatively) car and stupid licence test/first championship... Luckily after the first hour or two, the "story" takes a backseat and doesn't interfere with the freedom or TDU vibe of buying nice houses and expensive cars.
It's like TDU, but better. Word of advice though, you can't sell prize cars so I now have a pink Mustang with "kiss" stickers sitting in my garage next to my XKR...
Oh, and the online works really smoothly. Wandered round car dealers with random strangers present, then jumped in a car with said stranger - was a unique experience. And overtaking/humiliating Golf-driving boy racers on the twisties then watching them wrap their car round a tree? Priceless.

Well worth a watch actually
Reminds me of the reason I loved TDU - the fun of driving like a complete knob
Tough question is do I reinstall TDU (no 360
) or wait for TDU2 to arrive tomorrow...

Amnesia's elevator isn't exactly safe either I think it's better you can't fight enemies as it makes it much scarier...
