Any way to download that on a PC and transfer it?

 

Will give the PS3 Proxy server app another go I think...

PS3 Proxy Server GUI | PS3-Hacks :: Hack your PlayStation 3

 

 

If anyone needs to download the 1.16GB Spec 2.0 update on a PC rather than direct to their PS3 using the PS3 ProxyServer app, then they can download the update here:

Gotta love work's download speed :D

Yes, that's MegaBYTES per second :yay:

 

Ok, So if I download this now .pkg file, How on earth am I going to install it on the PlayStation and make it work with my Gran Turismo??? And is it Legal to do it this way? Because the PlayStation is just to far from my router to get a good signal for downloading so I want to use my PC...

This sums up Polyphony with half the update and DLC:

Forza is also looking good for me, but it will probably be a looong time till I get it or something.

:D

*Looks at Spa pics*

 

 

New physics are also quite nice from what I've played :cool:

[SBCriss]

New physics? What? Did they update them?

I played Forza 3 the first time today, and I prefer it grr.. My friend is getting Forza 4 this friday, I know what I'm going to do this friday :D

PD gets the award for the most useless, unneeded and, for the most part, unwanted additions to a game ever. Bravo, PD. Bra-flipping-vo.

 

I was playing some GT5 today and I have to agree. I would rather they upgrade some of the standard cars to premium (Veyron?) rather than add a load of irrelevant race cars. There is also some right rubbish on GT5 too, like the DB9. 2005 DB9 -Premium- | 2003 DB9 -Standard-. Why?? The DB9 didn't even undergo a facelift between those dates!!!

Well, they just put the PSP car list (which is pretty much the GT4 car list) into GT5 and then added the premiums on top, explaining the duplicated models but with different years (ie: 2005 BMW M5 (S) and 2008 BMW M5 (P) ).

there are lots of cars in gt like that . They are just duplicated to reach the 1000 number. Veyron and few other cars are imported straight from psp so I would imagine they need lots of work. And also I don't think it took any time for them to modify the cars that were already in the game and sell it for $8.

Google is your friend, remember?

PS3 Proxy Tutorial

 

 

 

Spa is good but I have it in so many other games so I honestly don't care. I would've been more impressed if they picked the 50 best user-created tracks and gave those to everyone to use online.

Ok Thanks but that is WAAAY to much effort, I'd Rather just move the router closer for the night and let it update... Its a pity that PS3 doesn't really support updating games via PC, It would be cool to have the update stored to help my friends that don't have internet update there games...

[DJdan]

i like the update and i will probably but all the DLC but i havent played FM3 for almost 2 months now and i am not going to pay much for FM4 so i guess i'll wait for FM4 to get cheaper since FM3 let me down big time.

They did that because DB9 was not supposed to be a premium car at the beggining, they improved it to premium. Same happens with Viper GTS and Ford GT and some others.

 

Beside that, the game is cool? :lol:

[TDUFREAK500]

I'm probably only going to get the paint pack and spend the rest of money on NFSHP DLC

That's fine but our problems were slightly different. I just wanted to avoid downloading 1.2GB at home, so I grabbed it elsewhere, then used the proxy so that the PS3 grabbed the update from my PC instead of the Internet - it all worked a treat.

 

... and then I quit GT5 after trying out the Red Bull gift car to find that Steam is autoamtically trying to download a 2GB update for Portal 2, when I have already told it NOT to automatically update this game. As far as I can tell there isn't even a new update for the game (I've already got the DLC), so I was pretty annoyed at that. :fp:

Are you talking about the Portal 2 DLC or GT5?

 

This all sucks a bit for me because I just got the game like a week ago and updated to V1.13 on Sunday the 9th of Oct. Then on Monday I start to enjoy all this online play... Next day all of a sudden... New update, V2.0... So now I gotta update AGAIN!!!! It sucks... I JUST WANA PLAY ONLINE!!! My poor CAP.

 

Someone should tell someone at Sony that we don't all have Uncaped internet to just keep updating games...

[Ryzza5]

The first line was about GT5, the second was about Portal 2 on my PC. It still says Update Paused, so it shouldn't download anything else for now.

[PVieira]

I need that karrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

 

Unlock Exclusive Special Edition GT-R with New Time Trial Challenge -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) --

 

 

 

 

Starting at 12:01 AM PST on Monday November 21, Gran Turismo 5 players will be able to compete in a special Time Trial Challenge seasonal event, which will unlock a bonus car for use in other modes of the game.

 

The Gran Turismo 5 Time Trial Challenge takes place on a special Eifel Circuit 105A track designed by Polyphony Digital using the in-game Course Maker mode, and puts players behind the wheel of a Nissan GT-R (car is made available to users who do not have the car in their own garage).

 

What's more, players can unlock a very special Nissan GT-R for use just by competing in the event. Now is your chance to add a limited edition vehicle, featuring the same design as the Kyosho diecast GT-R Spec V that was available exclusively in the Gran Turismo 5 Collector's Edition (pictured above), to your collection of cars in Gran Turismo 5. After finishing the special time trial event, you will receive a message to redeem a car ticket at the "Car Delivery" truck on the My Home screen in order to unlock the vehicle and add it to your garage.

 

This special event will run for four weeks only.

How is this different than the other 'speshul' GT-R models? (ie the one that came with the spec 2.0 or the Stealth model)

I believe people that participated in the Euro GT Academy got that car, the rest of the world didn't.

[Ramdude78]

I think that the developers have a thing for the GT-R. There is quite a few of them...

They have a thing for anything Japanese lol - it's their culture.

Well tomorrow is the 1st anniversary of GT5.
