Sooooo my PS3 died on me (it was one of the first gess, 20gb, no wifi), random shut off with flashing red light, apparently a mainboard problem... it'll cost almost as much as a new machine to get it fixed, so.... i now have a titanium blu gt5 limited edition 160gb ps3 slim :D sold the game to a friend, and i'll be up and running in no time :)

Eyeing a bucket seat and frame for a g27 logitech wheel... drool

The unrealistic damage is my only major complaint on this game.

I'm tellin ya! I was awarded a Bugatti yesterday and spent about an hour entering races just to wreck other cars and no matter what I tried the cars only showed minor scuffs and scratches. Sometimes you can get a bumper to buckle a little but that's the absolute worst that can happen. I mean seriously when you hit another car head on at 100mph there should be a little more damage than that!

Also what the heck is the deal with AI being able to spin you out but them being impossible to spin out. I get that if I get hit in the rear quarter panel that a spin out is likely but if I "accidentally" slam them in the rear like that they don't so much as squirm. In fact I usually end up going into a spin like that. Let me tell you that's not the person who would be losing control in that situation in real life. Just sayin.

Good to hear an update will improve the damage though.

That's kinda dumb. No matter what kind of race you are racing irl, beginner or expert, you have to take damage into consideration. The way they have it in the game you can brake way late into a corner and just use the other cars as a buffer to keep you from careening off the track and pick up massive track position. That's not a very accurate simulation if you ask me. Damage should be universal in my opinion. If you wreck a car, then you wrecked it. What's done to it is done. If anything they could have just made it cheaper to fix at lower levels.

They should have looked to the game Grid for ways to make the damage aspect more forgiving to beginners but still realistic.
