Its thinner than GT5 APEX book but the cover is a lot nicer. I don't know how to explain but it has special effect when looking from different angle.

WTF! The Mercedes-Benz AMG Vision GT has no modeled interior! CUE THE OUTRAGE!

Mercedes hasn't designed an interior for it

Hong Kong/Asia? Book is in English I suppose? How much did you pay for the edition?

Playing this for the first time. Intro is so classy!
Feel like I need a glass of wine in my hand to properly enjoy this

I'm saving it for when I put my game in tommorrow but....after this pic below...

Aston Martin on Goodwood...

I already feel like I need a wine in my hand. :D
 
Wait a minute. Does the Mercedes Vision GT car have a cockpit? It doesn't look like it in this video - link
If it doesn't what's the point? I'm never going to drive it!

Yeah, posted above. Well...nice to look at but that's all.

I knew about the UI response improvement but actually playing it still surprises me. I played GT5 during launch and the UI was extremely sluggish, but GT6 is really fast and fluid.
Also the main menu looks a lot better than GT5

does it have a forced install?

Buying it as a christmas present for my son and wondering if there is anything I can do in advance to speed things up - eg pre-download the update but not have the game show up in the XMB?

I believe it's the same as GT5, so you can choose to allow the game to install as you play or you can install it before you start playing. But it's much better to just let everything install before you start playing.

Anyone in the UK with a PSN pre-order know what time we can start downloading? My download list on the web store is confusing me as it mentions downloading on the 5th (today) but activating on the 6th...?

What this Dad really means is, can I get away with a sneaky late night play through...?

No, actually game installs itself automatically while you play in the background.

Cars, tracks, whatever is installed once prompted for the first time in the background and once installed game access that data much faster than during the first access (some track or car for instance).

At this point my game file has around 8GB (I have disc version).

@mrklaw You start to play instantly, no need to wait for anything - everything is automated (except the new 1.01 update)

The game defaults to install in the background, if you wish to you can go in the options and fully install the game.
 
I like the immersion that comes with a full cockpit, particularly in night races. I never raced a standard car in GT5 simply because they had no cockpits just weird silhouetted cockpits. It's not like there won't be other cars with the same (or better) performance than the Mercedes Vision GT but if it was only deigned to be looked at then that is what I'll do, look at it and not race it.

Is there a way to obtain the anniversary cars other than ordering the special edition?

That's the dumbest thing a player can do in GT5 imo. I race 90% with standards.

got the same too, but english asian version

It also includes these:

15th Anniversary Cars (20)
15th Anniversary Racing Suit and Helmet
1 Million Credits

That's interesting. I didn't get any bonus creds. I got all those cars plus a couple extra promo cars for voting online and buying off Amazon.jp

I feel kind of guilty turning off the opening movie in the settings, but I have to.

Gotsta to get straight to the game!

The game installs as you play and I didn't see an option to do it before. I forgot to check after the update.

The update adds an extended intro (though a cool scene from the original was cut...)
and the first vision car. It has it's own video presentation and it's free to get for one time!

Bah, was hoping they'd have done something to the clutch by now, but nope... Not buying this any time soon or at all if they don't do something about it :\

D: Trying Jedi mind powers to get the person who I bought a PS3 off of on eBay to post the damn thing. Granted I only won it two days ago and they could have already posted it but just not clicked "mark as dispatched".

I wanted to pick GT6 up on the way home tomorrow and have the weekend to get stuck in...
