My gawd...it's so...beautiful.

 

fookin EBgames by my work said Feb23....jerks...i'm gonna ask around.

 

oh damn... no problem Zapata we are here rooting for you 100%, hope you get the game on the 22nd.

but in the meantime, here is a special link just 4 u... - no thanks needed.

 

 

 

so what is everybody else aside from me doing?? Getting the game the night before? That morning? what?

 

Well, I have the local EBgames saying it arrives on the 23rd too...

I suppose if I waited this long, what is one more day, right?

 

is this everywhere or just EBgames? hmmmm will call around tomorrow.

 

 

whenever it comes in the mail from Buy.com...

 

I think I'm gonna wait...

 

hey sirka can we get a TSX'R'US counter too.....foolio is gonna wait for snail mail

 

done

I just estimated the amount of days before I thought his would arrive in the mail.

 

should be countdown till TSX 'R' US gets sick...

 

I just won this car yesterday after I won the GT World Championship, haven't tried the car yet but I unlocked the extreme hall(= professional league in GT3), at least 4 series of races in the extreme hall required S-licence...

For those who doesn't know, the last S-licence test is to beat the 6:40 lap time @ Nurburgring. (which is the bronze time, if you want the gold mark you need to finish it in about 5 minutes.)

 

And in the meanwhile, MSZ just keeps rubbing it in with his updates.

Bastard!!!!!!!!!

 

What car do you have to use? If it's an F1 car, no problem... but if it's a Miata, you'll spend the rest of your life trying to beat 6:40. Know what I mean?

 

As long as it's not a Vitz, I can hack it. Easy.

 

ya, and IIRC you can't bounce off the walls in license mode....

naw meansss CP....

respect

 

you and your vitz...

 

too bad there aren't that many walls for him to hit...er bounce off of

 

well, as said earlier, I think this does make it official fellas.... directly from the horse's mouth.

btw... photo mode seems to be establishing a cult following of crazy websites with crazy pictures... players are really trying to extract the most out of the photo mode engine, it's almost like an entirely separate facet of the GT4 experience... pure visual eye candy... I think it's so great that it uses elements featured on SLR cameras that allow you to create the blurs, and all those cool effects. ISO, aperture, exposure, all that good stuff.

kudos to Sony for this added feature... I admit the first time I heard about it, I thought it was kind of dumb, I mean, why would I want to "pose" my cars and take pictures of them. Little did I know how good the graphics were gonna be in that mode... It's really quite impressive, the amount of options available in the mode... it adds a limitless form of added expression to the game.

 

B-spec mode is cool, too. I wonder if you can use it to clear some of those long endurance races...

 

I can't wait
