The online racing simulator
Quote from J@mes :Actually the 747 chilling on the top gear track is a one off of some sort which has those strange double engine nacelles.

Ah indeed - well remembered

And according to wiki, JFYI:
Quote :A Boeing 747-200 which served with British Airways until 2002 as City of Birmingham, G-BDXJ, was purchased by Aces High Limited, a company specialising in supplying aircraft for television and film work, and transferred to Dunsfold.
It was modified and used for filming for the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale. Some of the scenes set at Miami International Airport were filmed at Dunsfold.
Modifications to the aircraft include the removal of the normal Rolls Royce engines in separate nacelles and replacement with a single nacelle on each wing with two engines, similar to those fitted to aircraft such as the B-52 Stratofortress. Dummy drop tanks have been fitted where the outer engines would normally be fitted. The aircraft is not flyable at the present moment.

New release date?

Ties in with the "month from gold" aswell as many retailers guessimates
just a month, great news
I think it's just a placeholder date, but nice if it'll happen. I'm placing my bets on December 9th. Somehow have a gut feeling about it.

Edit: Though now that I've said it, I bet it'll be delayed to next year. :P
Yeah the disc printing system will jam and it will get delayed again by 30 minutes.

Does anyone know the song played in the video? plus just ordered the bundle.
Also might want to "walk" around the photomode location too which is what I might do when I get the game
If it comes out
what part exactly is that, the differential? the part that attaches to the wheel? what does the other end that it attaches to look like?

just pm me if you want

Hmm, I'm thinking multiplayer paparazzi mode with car chases leading to on-foot pursuits and flash bulbs going off like crazy as the pursuers attempt to get the shot that will earn them a few thousand credits.

.......or not.


Regarding the release date- I'm fairly optimistic it will be this year, and though I do want it now-now-now, as long as the official announcement is not that it will be released in the new year, I'll be glad.
for christmas i believe i am going to see a ps3..if it isnt out by christmas, i will have a partially useless ps3 until it is
So Santa will bring you a PS3, how cute..

I'm such an automotive dunce. It took me 5 minutes of drawing circles on paint to see if that cog system would actually work.

I'm actually slightly considering selling my Xbox and getting a PS3 just for this game - but I know i'd get bored of it after a short while as I do with all console games. Why can it not be on PC!

Marketing... Like Crysis on Console...
Or more likely because Sony doesn't want their top studio making games for other consoles...
What the hell does GT5 has to do with other console games Just imagine it's S3

Well I was in massive anticipation for Forza 3, I got it - loved it, put it down one day and never went back to it. Its just effort - I love being on the PC and sitting on ventrilo with my mates, sitting and chatting is probably more fun than sitting and playing on a console, even with stuff like Xbox live.
Well my PS3 and PC are on the same table and monitor..

Lucky thing. I could do that but, I'd probably run out of plugs - also, does the G25 with with the PS3 and GT5?
PS3, 360 and MBP all on the same table, and monitor (kinda.. the MBP usually uses its own display, while I game.

G25 should work with GT5.. .possibly as an emulated DFGT, or maybe have proper support.
