They do credit vouchers in the UK, you just enter the 12 digit code into the psn store, no card needed.
Oh, where would I get one of those? That sounds great.
They sell them in a number of shops in the UK. http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=game+Pl...

I added a £20 one on mine for GT5 dlc this afternoon.

I think they only do £25 or £35 ones now.

The easiest way for you to do it if your not in the UK is probably to send someone the money and get them to buy the card, mine came from Tesco when i got Black ops.

They can just scratch off the foil bit then give you the code.

If you want me to get you one i can send you my bank details and i will get one from comet or similar when i am near and give you the code.

Where the hell do you download it from? I've purchased the complete pack but there is no download button? I've been through my transaction history and the purchase is showing but can't find any way of downloading it. Driving me madbanghead
Load the game up, and there's a big red 'update' button, that should do the trick!
I hadn't thought of trying thatpaperbag. Tathumbup

I might have a spare.

They are a bit weird.
Standard 797bhp pp637.
Tuned 1026bhp pp621.

229bhp more(more than most cars on the road today extra) 16pp less
if you go to use the standard it'll drop down. it's possible you've not used it for a while and it's now including the PP from the tyres, which was dropped in an update?
Sounds likely to me.

Is it just me that buys cars and doesn't drive them? One of these days I'm going to go through my garage just picking out things I've never driven and take them for a spin...
I just went over the 1500 car point.

I note that the cars and tracks come to £9.48, so I'll just buy the complete pack.
Same here. I was just going to get the tracks, but I'll probably decide I want the cars aswell, so I might as well just get them all.

What's the DLC like then? I've not had a chance to go on it today.

the new cars are fkin quick.

that new gtr-35 gave my supercharged RM Zr1 vette a bloody nose around spa in a bhp-kg limited race.

shame the host set the weight limit to the weight of the gtr-35 meaning i had to ballast up my lighter vette frown

So how do I go about getting your spare? I am a complete tard when I come to PS stuff I didn't even know it have a wifi connection, I assume id have to buy a wifi gadget for it,

Is your ps3 not connected to the internet?

PS3 has built in wired and wireless internet, so if you have a wireless router you can set it up straight away.

Then you just add the other persons gamertag to your friends list. Then the car can be sent over.

That's a great idea, and thanks for the offer. I may well take you up on that if they don't change their policy.

just did a 1:14 around spa rofl
Wtf? In the X2010 I assume?
X2011. marginally quicker than the X2010. not sure exactly but i think i got just under 1:42 in an F2007.

it's a car made for the high aero cars as there are so many high speed corners.

one of my all time favourite tracks, absolutely superb. nothing like hanging an F2007 around there at full pelt!!
