As most of you have already found out, The following information was released today - Don't shoot the messenger!:

Only hours away from release, Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced via Twitter the release of Gran Turismo 5‘s first DLC - including the highly anticipated Spa Francorchamps circuit - has been delayed in North America until October 25th, 2011. No further explanation is offered, but the tweet does mention the content will include a “special bonus” when it is eventually released next week:

    Update: GT5 DLC will hit the North American Store on 10/25 but will include a special bonus. Apologies for the inconvenience!

The DLC is presumably still on schedule to be available to the rest of the world on Tuesday, October 18th, at 07:00 UTC (convert this to your local time zone here), according to another tweet from Kazunori Yamauchi earlier today.



Always the Bridesmaid, never the bride........Oh let's be direct about this.... :nono  No, Really.....

Kaz!

The next thing you know is they will tell us that the "special bonus" will only be available in the Continental U.S., :o 

The Old "Bait and Switch" comes to mind here....C'mon PD, get it FUCK ing right for once, will ya?

Yep.... No surprises here....

There is a bit of a temporary saving grace though - You can still race the tracks in open lobby rooms... I bet I ran about 30-40 laps there tonight with some pretty good guys from Japan... As long as the original host had the DLC the track will automatically download the same way that a created on will, no purchase required...

Wow.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised.  After reading over at GTPlanet, it sounds like they botched the entire DLC thing.  DLC is tied to your account and is region locked so make sure you buy it from your main account.  You won't be able to use it on other accounts.  Paints can't be gifted and are single use.  You have to buy multiple paint packs to get your cars all the same colour.  I'm stuck with PD and Sony this gen but I may be switching for the next gen of consoles.

Interesting, I'd hoped if I brought it once I'd be able to at least use it with the 2nd account on the same actual console like the Pre-order cars / Edge Camaro but I will defintely NOT be buying it more than once (if that, at this point).

The paint issue just highlights their ineptitude at this point, not being able to trade the DLC paint I can understand but only giving you 1 of each per purchase is somewhat mind-boggling, I get they don't want people cloning them and they want to make more money by making you buy the paint pack again but they could have at least given us say 5 of each colour (or let us choose our own selection of 100 chips from the DLC list, so we can get multiples of one instead of 10 unwanted chips).  I would assume too that if you use a special paint on a car and gift it that the receiver won't get a copy of the chip either.

So far Spec 2.0 seems like generally a good thing but the following DLC appears to be coming with a large side order of Ineptitude.  And coming out on the 25th now is actually making me consider not bothering with it and just getting BF3, with even just a week's difference in release dates I was going to get both without question but now I find myself hesitating to get the DLC.

I've got a question that could use some consideration - Are these paints truly unique or is it like the new race suits where you can actually just win them through normal gameplay? Does the game simply recognize that you've purchased the pack and give you them all in one shot for one time use?

I'm about as worried about the paints as I am about the stupid racing suits - I could care less.... I've got enough paints that I'll never use and unless someone can definitively prove that being a special color makes you faster... It's all fluff that really makes NO DIFFERENCE to the game, guys and ontop of it - it's basically free when you buy the stuff that you actually want... Shrug*

Some of the paints are definitely new (some of the chrome paints for sure).  The only reason that I can see for buying paints is so that you could pick a unique paint to use on all of your cars for racing online.  It's a lot easier to do this with non-dlc paint but still too much of a hassle for me to worry about.  Basically I'm getting the paints for free anyway since I am buying them with the cars and tracks.  The whole one use per paint chip is an ill-conceived idea.  Not sure what PD was thinking.  But then they continue to make really odd decisions and Sony isn't helping.  It's not like they learn from their mistakes.  They keep screwing up over and over and over and over again.

While it won't make you faster they might make everyone else slower.. I mean people will be so busy laughing at my Raspberry Chrome Racing Prius with Fluoresence Orange wheels that they'll have to pull off the track or at least slow down to avoid crashing which will give me the edge I need to whisk silently by, assuming the battery hasn't run out :D.

I haven't looked at switching my avatar driver's suit once nor changed a car's colour, either, so maybe I can send PD a message by just getting the cars and tracks and not support silliness by throwing away money.

Why buy something I probably will never use, right?

You save a dollar by buying the complete pack compared to buying just the cars and the tracks.  I thought of just going with the tracks since the track pack is a much better value for me.  The car pack is a good example of why I'm worried about the future of the franchise.  It's a year after release and the best thing that they can produce for dlc cars are cars that are essentially already in the game.  Modelling is taking PD way way too much time.  If this is one pack of several in fairly quick succession then maybe I can understand but we have no idea if they are even thinking of more DLC.  If we get a new track pack every 2-3 months, I'll be pretty happy even with all the other mistakes that PD makes.  But if this is the last track pack, I'll be pretty tempted to switch to the other console next gen.

C'mon 11 you think they put in the DLC button if this was a one time thing? I am betting we will get tagged 4 times a year right up until they release 6. Getting a mound of cash they have not been able to raise in between other versions of the game.

They got a chance to make some more money off of us, I'm sure they'll milk it for as much as they can.
