Got the DLC, and yup, it is account locked. Fucking incredible PD, just fucking incredible.

Time to start spamming Kaz twitter again...

 

[STG]

so sexy

 

[tusken77]

Spa sweetness.

 

[gogogow]

So uh....what can you do when you've bought the course pack? Time trials, online, arcade?
Are there new A-Spec events?

 

[Vasilisk 2038]

So the DLC is account locked? Dammit :\ . I'll have to think about it, I would love Spa and the cars, but with all the crazy fall we have.. FTS Polyphony

 

[Angst]

Well my primary account is US, created back when PS3 wan't out in EU yet. Never bothered to switch to PAL one because being on a region free system, I never thought it would be necessary. All my DLCs purchased from EU account worked flawlessly with US one, until now.

OK, gotcha - that sucks :/

Damn, that sucks.

AFAIK know - online or arcade. Basically, you race on it

I'll be doing an open lounge at ~20.00 CET tonight.

 

[CozMick]

I got a server running a SPA free run for anyone without the dlc.

7 of 12 in the server - 1472-6399-8494-1424-0135

 

[offshore]

Tracks and paint chips bought...just waiting for the disc now :/

 

[CozMick]

The Skyline GT-R R34 TC is the greatest car I have ever driven, wow!

 

[hirokazu]

Account locked? Whose smart idea was that?! Fuuuu... Well now I can't buy DLC unless they fix this shit.

 

[Toxa]

Karting is really cool

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[CozMick]

Awesome pics Toxa.

SPA really is incredible with a decent driving model unlike some, mentioning no names.......

Spoiler

Shift 2

 

[MGR]

Fairly disappointing to hear the DLC is account locked considering the industry standard for DLC is console lock. If you are going to licence DLC outside the norm then I think Sony have a responsibility to explain that clearly at the point of purchase.

 

[Audioboxer]

I think all GT5 content is the same :/

Pretty sure my stealth cars are locked to account, as well as chromeline.

That's not true. My chrome/stealth cars are accessible on all of my different PS3 accounts from the same machine.

 

[FinalD]

Nope.

What? They announced a reduced price for PS+ last week on the blog and it's not there?!

The ‘Complete Pack‘ bundle is priced at €11.99, but there is also a special PlayStation Plus Bundle Price for one month (from 18th October) of only €8.99.

Comments from today aren't very positive either: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2011/10/11/gran-turismo-5-update-2-0-live-dlc-packs-confirmed/comment-page-2/#comment-187946

I'm not buying until they fix this shit.

My Chromelines work on every account. This is fucking bullshit.

Nevermind that the complete pack is fucking $18.95 in Australia. Fucking hell.

Yeah, I'm definitely holding fire on this for a bit. Too much other stuff comes out soon for me to spend $20 frivolously.

That site is blocked here at work, could you please summarise the complaints? Are there glitches or something?

Just confirmations (only three posts yet) of the complaints here: account locked and no PS+ discount.

It's an old blog post though so I'm expecting more ranting and hopefully some Sony replies in a new store update post or something.

I think it's this post:

Just bought the DLC at 12 Euro…
Just to fin out that it is ONLY made available to the PSN-account used to buy the pack!! It is not made available to the other accounts (my kids accounts) on same PS3.
This was NOT mentioned anywhere, that it would be “personal” content!!
This is highly unacceptable..!! There is NO WAY, that I am gonne spend another 36 Euro to buy this for the additional 3 accounts for my family-members!
How I feel ripped off now!
I surely hope that Sony/PD will reconsider this, very soon..!
Sony, if you read this comment, I will be looking forward to a get a response from you!

Some may take issue, some may not.

 

[ruttyboy]

Thanks both. Personally it's not a concern so long as the track itself works, but it seems a stupid way to do things and a massive PITA for those who share a console.

 

[krioto]

Although it doesn't affect me, this is a really shitty move. What could possibly be the issue with not allowing all accounts on the ps3 access to the content?

 

[Metalmurphy]

Someone scan that QR code

Considering Gran-turismo.com is above it pretty sure that's where it takes you.

 

[I'm an expert]

So I haven't played GT5 in maybe 2 months. Have PSPlus so the update was automatically downloaded for me last week. Popped in the disc today, and the screen just stays black after the Polyphony logo. Known occurrence? I deleted the 2.00 game data and am redownloading right now..

Some have reported the same issue yes. We told them to delete game data and reinstall, not sure if it helped though.

I had that a few weeks back, was fine after reinstall

 

[Angst]

Anyone know if we can paint the DLC cars?

haha
suck it world, you get no bonus

Spoiler

Bonus will be a suit that says "LTTP" on the back

 

[I'm an expert]

Good to know..I'll admit I think something was definitely effed with the PSPlus auto download cause I've been watching this download the whole time and it's 10 parts and friggin HUGE. Def don't think all this stuff got installed before.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Well... duh

 

[Angst]

Well... duh

Lol, ok - but can we paint all DLC cars? The GT-R above looks like it has a pretty fancy paint job already.

 

[Metalmurphy]

You probably can't paint that and the X2011.

 

[Angst]

Probably not, but you can paint the Corvette RMs - so perhaps a new paint only applies to certain parts of the car?

Toxa?

 

[amar212]

You can even paint that crazy-titanium-color-shifting GT-R R35, it will paint only parts of body that are not color-shifted.

However, that same R35 is the only car that can't have it's number changed - always "1".

Also, all Skylines are 4WD but for every one you can install Variable Differential and mess with settings in order to redistribute torque to the rear.

 

[SunhiLegend]

I've painted the Prius TC and the black lower half stays black

 

[Xun]

The DLC being locked to the account is a shame.

I may wait a bit for it to be honest. Need to save on money anyway!

 

[-Amon-]

so sexy

Little bug on that. It's the only dlc car you can't change the racing number on.

 

[darkwing]

I've painted the Prius TC and the black lower half stays black

yeah the default main color is too dull

 

[-Amon-]

It's like the racing modified cars already present in the game. You paint the basic color of the car, but the livery and the sponsors remain the same.

 

[sublimit]

Wait DLC is account locked?
I have four accounts on my PS3,one i use to buy stuff from PSN and another just to play.I can't buy stuff with the account i have for gaming...

Does that mean i'm screwed?

Kaz is telling you that the Skyline GT-R will always be number 1 in his heart.

Aww man (((
That's the most stupid decision in the history of gaming.

Yep - it's right up there.

 

[sublimit]

Yep - it's right up there.

They are going to loose lots of money with this stupid decision.I know a few other people who also have separate accounts for buying and gaming.
They really need to change this.
