Well yesterday was supposed to be the first race for the online league I was about to start (thanks to CORLEONE26 for the idea) but we couldn't start dues to a prolem with the Gran Turismo 5 servers which were down for the whole of Saturday night and into Sunday morning. "The game play will be mroe stable if you perform the following: Go to the menu, and under heading, choose and execute the option. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused." If you want more details on this issue you can read the GT5 news feed on the first home screen in GT5 by selecting "News List" in the upper right corner of the screen. So now the GT5 servers seem to be back up and running nicely again the First weekly GT5 Sunday! Cup Online will take place at these times: Sunday 12 December Los Angeles - 2pm New York - 5pm London - 10pm Cape Town - midnight Sydney - 8am Monday!

PlayStation 3 gamers in the UK are lucky today as they have the option to spend 99p on the Playstation store and buy the 17th episode of First play (the UK's answer to Qore) the HD downloadable game review video mag. Why buy this one i hear you ask? well it's going to feature a multiplayer preview of Gran Turismo 5. Will we see something new or just some old images / video with some new info who knows but for 99p you can't go wrong. The playstation store usually updates between the hours of 4pm - 6pm and while i don't know any of the other content that will feature in this weeks update i really can't say i care aslong as theres some GT5 goodness to be had.

Got it! As soon as i saw the 3.40 update available on Tuesday i rushed straight over to the Playstation store to see if it was up and lo and behold it was there beaming in all its gold cross glory. So i used £39.99 from my PSN wallet (which ive had ready to go for the last week just incase the wallet funding system crashed ;p) and i bought that sucka with no hesitation at all. Exclusive beta's, exclusive avatars and free dynamic themes aswell as free games yes please! So ive now had my Playstation plus account for a hot minute it's nice to know im special for the next year until i have to pay again and i guess only time will really tell weather or not its really worth it (even though im sure it will be) What's in the box? So what do you get? Well first off you get a gold D-Pad nect to your name to show your a Plus subscriber. The PSN+ deals are different depending on which country you're in so the best thing to do is pop over to the playstation store and have a look what's available. also check out [...]]]> http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/psn-day-1/1578/feed/ 0 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/gamespot-e3-tdu2-interview/1543/ http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/gamespot-e3-tdu2-interview/1543/#comments Sun, 27 Jun 2010 11:07:29 +0000 Rob Groove http://www.robgroove.com/?p=1543 http://www.robgroove.com/robgrooves-playstation-3-junkie-blog/gamespot-e3-tdu2-interview/1543/feed/ 0
