I got my preorder gift code today. They stick with the delivery on release, so I guess that's irrelevant in the end.

Quote from MAGGOT :

Blue. 100% (Assuming it's just being pulled from the ends). It's got nothing to do with gravity in this case, though; it's just simply like pulling a string tight around a ball. Exactly the same.

But if you don't tighten the string it will still touch earth all way and not hang like the red string in the picture.

^ Wankers. Every shop selling it before I have it should be axed by MS.

Apple sucks, PS3 sucks and your mom sucks.


Is it true GT5 will come on 3 disks? That's going to be lot of installing.

Oh, forgot. GT5 will suck more than your mom and Apple together.

I troll lol, but it's ok because I has happy face.

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

If you realise its on top o your own internet connection if you would have nog internet you would not have XBL so its just stupid IMO to pay when u already pay for your internet.

I don't pay for my internet.

Yeah, well, in rent I do so it's not free (nothing is) but there is no way separating and not having it. So I think it makes it free, technically.

And you pay for the service anyway so your analogy sucks, 2,80 euros is about three cups of coffee or 1 cheap beer. Of course cost is always relative.

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

Well just wait or buy either a 3,1 month gold and then wait til 2010 becaus then XBL wil be free

Where do you get that? Don't think they are making Gold free.

Can get 12 monts for 34 euros, could go for that, 2,80 for month is hardly that much.

Quote from sinbad :

And there should be some in the multiplayer mode too. Which as far as I can tell is good for giving you as few options as possible now. I saw all the rubbish races going on, "Quick Race with unlimited cars" how ridiculous. Circuit races with classes A and higher? "Road Races" with about 3 people in insanely varied cars crashing around the nurburgring? Oval, no players. Drag, no players. Drift, no thanks. I wanted to set up a public race with just a standard car, and only that car, like I could in Forza2 (although noone ever joined) but I couldn't do it.
Either I missed something or they really got lazy with that.

Sounds really weird because I remember them banging on about how you can make your own games and how they have huge variety of game modes to choose from?

Or did they just mean you can choose the mode and that's it, sure they aren't behind some weird button like the hotlap mode in the demo was?

Mine got shipped today. Delivery should take two days from Åland, our lame ass version of Jersey (tax free).

Btw, is the storefront content and shops gold account only?

WLSIT?!

*What lerts shit is this?


edit. It will touch the surface in both cases, if we presume the earth is perfectly smooth so it doesn't hang in air.

Quote from wheel4hummer :

What I don't like about glasses/corrective lenses in general is that they alter your eyesight in ways other then focus. For example, with my glasses on, I see red/blue separating from edges of objects. It's hard to explain, but it's annoying and makes it feel like I'm looking at a poorly adjusted CRT projector.

Looking at this test pattern I can see what you mean. Stuff that isn't there appears at the edges of the lens. But I really can't tell any cromatic aberration when looking at stuff in reality.

And what was waiting on my doormat?

My LCE copy!!!!.

First impressions, physics have changed slightly, tyres seem to have a little less grip than the demo.

Got a boggo standard Honda Fit ATM, done the first 2 races in the Asian cup event.

Pictures!

Quote from Dajmin :

Least my copy is genuine so I won't get into trouble when the Xbox police come knocking.
I will make sure I post lots of screenshots so that you can all share my experience

Quite disappointed by the instruction manual. It has the controls, a bit about assists and the HUD and that's about it. Nothing about the game modes. Very sparse on info in general.

Get on with it, only slow people read manuals.

Screw you with your early shipment!

I'll have mine at Friday because they follow release dates. No playing before late evening though.

The Swedish, or sorry, the Norwegian self proclaimed faggot is talking about colored contact lenses. Keep with the times old man.

edit. Plah, I'm slow, but at least not Norwegian.

Quote from Becky Rose :

I used to love watching Hamilton race other cars, he was a risk taker. He seems to have "matured" now, and I for one think that's sad. I loved that he used to race with big balls. I hope we get some of that again next season.

It's not going to happen if the cars in front are quicker. He might be matured not to make silly mistakes, but I'm sure he will drive like a nutter if he gets the reason and the car.

Button made an awesome drive yesterday and really won me over with his driving but I don't think he could have pulled off those moves if his car had been a dog.

Why you didn't roll it?

Nice driftos though. Nice soft focus touch on the second video.

Hey Zeug, good job overdoing with the dance man well done.

Quote from Becky Rose :

My point was that if they want to be competetive they're a long way behind already, they've no run time experience with the car at all if they're still at the early mock up stages. You don't get anywhere in F1 with an unreliable car, these new teams need to have rigs out there clocking up laps and their engineers learning already - perfecting the aero package later.

Yeah, didn't say they were going anywhere, there is going to be lots of really crap cars in the grid next year.

Does the testing limits apply to the new teams too or not?

As I said, you need to buy a version which has the codes.

Quote from Becky Rose :

If they're going to have any chance of racking up a few points they really do need to get the rubber on the tarmac before xmas, and this being the first pics from a new team and by all accounts looks like a sanded bolted wooden mockup, I think they have a very long way to go and not long to do it in.

That's probably because it is a wooden mock up for wind tunnel.

I'm sure they have it done in time. Do some testing in wind tunnel, make the parts, fit all the bulk parts they've bought and put some stickers on it. How hard can it be?

Well then you need to buy a non-polish version with a code and wait or try to access live with some sort of trickery.

That is a bummer though, the 10 DLC cars are maybe the best cars in the game.

Quote from kamkorPL :

You mean "There should be a download code in every box in officialy supported live countries"

Do they really make different boxes for every country?

Quote from obsolum :

Is the "launch day dlc" only available for people who buy the game at launch, or will it be available permanently? For example, if I buy the game for Christmas, do I still get the DLC code?

There should be a download code in every box.

The VIP and pre-order special cars are different thing.

Hah, I knew it.

Liter of helium lifts about 1 gram. Not knowing the exact dimensions of the ball and the weight of the kid it's hard to say if it could have lifted him to air.

But if we presume the ball was a cube and 20 by 5 by 5 feet as stated in the article, it should be able to lift about 13,5 kg.



e. So it was a dome, well, someone else can do the math for that.
