Only £18.99 for GTS on Blu Ray from Amazon as well, cheaper than the shifter.
Games dropping that cheap is normally an indication of bad sales. The last COD did the same
Or deals like ps4 plus Fifa plus GT for 200 have driven the price down.

Fifa is still £36.

That says more about EA than anything else.

I wanted to get this, but I am not interested in playing online, is it worth buying for a single player experience?

I have bought every GT game from the '90's onwards, but the focus on multi player and the micro-transaction connotations that seem part and parcel of MP games puts me off buying it even at half price.

The entire game is online however there are no extras you can buy .

Per previous posts there's an update due which will add a big chunk of offline content more akin to previous GTs.

For £20 you can't really go wrong.

Agreed,

next week the Game is getting a fairly big update containing a single player campaign including the usual Clubman cup and endurance races!

There is an update coming on the 27th Nov and some time during Dec where you can do similar races like on the previous games. I.e. MR, FR, Boxer races etc. Maybe that could sway you.

Admittedly, I wasn't interested in online racing but I am thoroughly enjoying it.

I've had the game a while, but it's for my lad's Christmas, so I can't play until then. Now I've caved and order the G29 and shifter too! I don't think I'll manage to wait until 25 December.

Fanatec also have a sale - 40% admittedly on a much higher base price.
Very tempted to get the wheel (I already have the pedals).

Came in to say that.

I've bitten the bullet and pulled the trigger.

Big patch coming on Monday adding single player stuff, you can currently trade it in at cex for £23 store credit so if you don't like it you can gain money, GT Sport doesn't have any micro transactions.....

Don't do today's race c, it's a total piss take. Gave me 2 1min penalty's for going slightly off track.
I had this happen to me as well! Recovering a slide a slightly cut a corner and got 1 minute come up!

The race itself was mad, there were over 35 seconds quali-time covering the grid...
I hadn't set a time and it was impossible to pass people as everyone had completely different idea of the racing line/braking points, no idea hoe many penalties I had to get rid of in that one, was beyond caring by the end of it.(and SR now B, was S when I started yesterday!)

Was that the GTR race?
I did a few laps to set a time and it was like driving on ice. Gave up.
All the daily races were crap yesterday.

Went and tried the lobbies, first attempt was stuck on the grid revving away but not moving, a couple of others looked like they had the same issue.
I then tried about 20 rooms to discover they were already racing. Finally figured out how to tell from the search screen.

Finally found a decent bunch of mostly Germans doing Gr3 (only 1 Beetle) and had some good clean racing getting a win on Dragons trail after the leader binned it in the chicane after I'd push him the whole race.

They need to sort out the race finder, having to put in your options every time is a pita.

Yeah the GTR road car on Lake Magiorre.

I did 4 sport races last night, 2 VW Golf ones, started 5th finished 3rd and starting 1st and keeping it. Good.
Did the GTR gr4 round Tokyo and went down a SR level....
Did the GTR N500 on Lake Magiorre and went down a SR level....

Tempted by the G29 but I've just bought a new TV this morning too! Looking forward to seeing GT Sport in HDR now (albeit 1080p as I've got a boggo PS4 and not a Pro!).. Anyone else playing in 1080p HDR?

I'd agree, but as I understand it GTS has sold well, certainly in the first week it eclipsed Forza & PCars 2 by about 4 times.

I saw somewhere a suggestion its only a temporary price reduction but I don't know if thats true.

Either way, I think its worth the money, don't regret buying at release..

Going to be interesting to see how people get on changing to a wheel.

Currys made a price mistake on PS4 Pro machines on ebay earlier, £215! only lasted about 10 minutes from what I can see. Everywhere else they are £299, I guess you can flog the games and be down to £260 or so.

£129 on Amazon deal of the day... great price for a very solid wheel.

Yeah, great price for the wheel, but since getting mine last night, I've spunked another £150 on a Playseat as I didn't have anywhere to mount the wheel and didn't like the look of the stands...The wife was surprisingly okay with it all, she must have her eye on something she wants to buy, but hasn't told me about yet scratchchin Oh well, can always sell it if I don't get much use out of it (the wheel, not the wife)
