Looks like there is an update for EU GT5P - downloading now but it's failed a couple of times, probably wont get it before I head to work.
Interesting transcript of chat with the makes or gran turismo. Touches issues like saving progress from gt5p to the final game.
J-Rad14: What big things did you guys do to take advantage of the PlayStation3's Cell Processor?
skebe: For example, a headlight on a car uses up all the polygons we used for an entire car for our PS2 games... and we even added 10 extra cars on the racetrack!
Looks impressively realistic
One quick question, can you make circuit on HUD non static? I want it displayed in a way that rotates because I hate it being static, and I do really need them so I can drive better.
Bastard! I need one of those cards! Although i think I bought my HD-DVD player longer then 12 months ago. Did you have to fill out anything of maybe show a receipt?I was going to download GT5P today, but I am reaching my limits of internal storage. So I was going to wait some. Instead, check my mailbox and Best Buy sent me a $50 gift card for purchasing the 360 HD-DVD player 12 months ago yesterday.
So the failure of HD-DVD helped lead to me getting GT5P today on disc! Nice!
I'm quite sure that there isn't a way and to drive better you should really try to learn all the corners insted.

Edit: I just got GT5P today & had a hell of a time trying to update it this morning. In fact by the time it finally updated (5 tries & some router changes) it was time to go to work. I really doubt the issue was my router as its not had an issue with the PS3 before, but its updated now & I still haven't got a chance to play it.
Back on topic, I opted to go ahead and get the BR version, as I had the free money. I still would of picked it up anyhow, that way when I need to delete the game data, I won't have to re-download it again when I want to re-install.
Out of curiosity is that a 7200 rpm drive?I am curious, does anyone know the difference in loading time if you compare the BR vs the HD/Downloadable version?
As a sidenote to the "download again". I recently purchased a 250GB sata disk and installed it on the PS3. The backup procedure to an external USB drive went absolutely flawless, when i installed the HD i had a PS3 with default settings etc. I restored the backup and everything was back to normal including the games i have purchased.
