That’s what I saying, it’s one thing to have a disc early , it’s another to play it early. I don’t see how they can be.
Either way, not long to wait now!
My dilemma is do I turn it on when I get in from night shift, so get some sleep first!?
I'm playing it right now.

I'm walking into a shop and buying it on Friday, exactly like I did 25 years ago for GT1.
I remember doing the same, I popped to Currys on my lunch break and couldn’t wait to get home at 5!
Having played racing games since Race on the Vic 20, and Pole Position on the BBC/Dragon 32 it was mind blowing!
I can clearly remember spending hours and hours tweaking the gear ratios on my Impreza so I could use it against pretty much everything apart from the very fastest top speed competition.
I’m looking forward to doing the same again, and as a huge fan of the livery creator I can’t wait to get the changes there

It’s only done the 10gb for me now just the countdown. Does that mean everyone on the planet will have to download the rest tomorrow? If so, I’ll go to work hehe

If its you’ve just purchased it the first download is 10gb then it does the larger download. There’s then a 7gb patch once complete.

Yes, thanks, just figured it out. Go to downloads and it’s still going.

If anyone has the 25th anniversary addition, I’ve redeemed the code, got the 100k credits , but no sign of the 3 bonus cars . Not sure if they are licence locked.

My cars appeared, not that you can use them for much at the start.

I just have the normal version though, no Yaris for me frown.

Micro transactions are a massive red flag for me. Hope it doesn’t ruin the game.

Isn’t it just for extra credits? If someone wants to buy those they can crack on. I’ll stick to earning them!

Tempted to log on at midnight and give it a go but will wait until after work tomorrow so I can "do it properly" with my Playseat and T300 smile

Those of you (most?) going for disc version; what is the advantage when you have to download to the hard drive anyway? Is it a smaller install than the digital version? Appreciate there is resale potential with the disc but doubt you'll be getting rid of the game for years!

Doesn't GT pretty much throw credits at you? I came to GT Sport very late and only really did the licences and track mastery things and I got loads of credits plus loads of free cars.

GT sport was a real grind. I played quite a bit and never could afford the classic cars that I really wanted.

Ah I never got fully into it. But I got awarded cars every 20 minutes it seemed and I'm sure I had enough credits to buy anything apart from the £20m ones. Saying that, I only mean enough credits to buy one really expensive car, not lots!

Biggest issue was not being able to sell prize cars. Garage was full of duplicates of st I didn’t want but it was all worthless. Have the fun of GT was deciding what to sell to afford the next best thing.

If I get the PS4 version, and then upgrade to the PS5 game if/when I get one, will the game save transfer over to the new console or would I have to start again on PS5. In the stuff I've seen about the game the game save isn't mentioned.

Edit: just ordered the PS4 disc version anyway.

Not an issue for me, I’m on PS5. You are right but the poster I responded to hasn’t indicated PS+ or not. Either way he will be able to continue his game save upon changing console. smile

P.s. 10 mins for anyone truly dedicated!
