"they supply garlic butter to dunk your pizza into! the garlic butters free!! not an additional cost! "

That butter isn't really free you know. They just factor it into the cost of your pizza.

well thats just fine and dandy mr kanga, but if i walked into the pizza place and ordered a 14" pizza took it home to find a bare base and nowt on it, only to find out i had to have each bit of pepperoni onion and the butter drenching delivered seperate....

id tell them it could be done a far easier way :P
(still taste this garlic butter, or is it copper? why is my arm tingling?)

@psi, thanks for clearling up the confusion in my head with regards to GT HD. i like the analogy of ringtones. i absolutely hate them like there is no tomorrow. I can see exactly why u dislike the GTHD concept. i am seriously thinking that it is not going to be worth my time and money to take the gamble for the next generation of consoles if all the companies want is to make more money out of than they already are. running a family etc, is expensive as it is and this is one extra burden thing that i do not need.
I reckon there will come a time when gamers will long for a time when the whole game came on a physical disc.!!!!

yup expect to get bad credit ratings and CCJ's when you don't pay your Sony gaming bill on time. expect ocean's finance adverts in game! expect to see adverts asking if your a home owner before asking if you want the new sony playstation! expect 0870 support numbers with crazy frog hold music! expect CAROLE FUCKING VORDERMAN!

..its late.. i've had far too much coffee... sorry..

"and why does every thread nowadays seem to be microsoft vs. sony... and ninty in between? could be a version of two and a half consoles."

I'm not sure if you were talking about this particular thread, but I had'nt read a single reference to the Microsoft vs Sony issue untill you brought it up.

@PSI -the smallprint "your console/home/life/family/ (delete which is appropriate) may be repossesed if you do not keep up repayments!" can u imagine the day when the bailiffs come round to your yard to collect their dues!

I've been totally wrong on this whole idea!

This is more like the Marchel and Cavendish or whatever magasines!

Collect week by week to build your own game, part one comes with a free stearing wheel, only 1.99 (normal retail price 8.99) collects week by week into a big pile of shite!

i know what kazanouri has had in mind all along, he wanted to train us to buy cars using the credits in gt's1-4 and now he wants us to REALLY SPEND REAL CREDITS to buy cars. it is his secret mission to make us all turn in to some sort of car-nut.

if he really wants us to go this way, then he can sod off. by the time gt5 gets released i will have a family as i intend to do micro-transactions with my sperm so i can get a baby with the missus!!

psi: I don't know where you buy your pizza mate, but I think you'll find that a business model based on buying a basic pizza with 1-2 toppings, then paying extra for each topping you want is a fairly common one.

Probably the most valid point is not knowing whether tracks / cars are any good before buying. Though with a bit of luck, there'll be a test drive feature.

I cant see me ever getting this GT with this system. What i would like to know is if you have to buy the cars people are using online to actually be able to race against them, either way its not a pretty future :(

Man, I am glad the Sony Online service is FREE! WooHoo! Tell me again what FREE means, because I get confused.

I know that i'm late with the comment, but thanks @kangarootoo for the info about purchasing downloadable content. I really haven't ever done this, and i am a bit sceptical, so every bit of info is welcome.
Anyway, i hope that we are not going to buy each and every patch that is going to be released for our games in the future!

lex someone dropped the insecurity bomb back when the c64 and speccy were out.

Well it's only logical. I mean, how can speccy owners not be insecure when faced with the awesomeness of the c64. ;)

well it could be something different like Open early 90s french cars (total 35cars x 0.3euro 10.50e now available for just 3.5 etc ) the big picture is that you never have a whole game which is a problem and if you don't have broadband for your ps3 is really an even bigger problem

on the other hand if i remember correctly the modeling for the cars takes about 5 months per car i think funding is a issue and perhaps squeezing a few pennies out of us per month is better than releasing demos ( concept GTs ) on 35euro so i guess in a way you de be paying more or less the same while waiting for GT5 as you would any other time

but i d rather have a standalone Gt5 thananything else

@Psi

Don't many pizza shops do a build-your-own option though. So you get a basic base and then choose which toppings you want, charged for individually?

HA!!

I win the pizza debate, I won it, me, winning, the pizza debate.

This is cool, now I can download just the cars/tracks I want, instead of paying 40 quid and having the whole lot. I wonder how many cars/tracks you'll get for 40 quid then, I'm guessing nowhere near the number of cars/tracks found in previous GTs?

It is just another ploy to suck money from your wallet, that is all. Variety is GOOD. I bought the Oblivion horse armour, then I realised what an idiot I was for doing that, this is more horse armour as far as I'm concerned, except you need it.

I am truly more alienated every day by these announcements :(

..yes but you have them build your own pizza there and then and you can have all the toppings you want.
