Gran Turismo 5
Information thread
In the OP of this thread I will be compiling a list of links to any useful information relevant to Gran Turismo 5 posted here at PSN NA.
Please PM me or post ITT with anything you feel qualifies as relevant information for Gran Turismo 5.
Large reams of actual and confirmed information about GT5 will exist soon after release of the game, and this post will be where you should check first.
Official GT5 Information and unofficial GT5 user manuals wanted here include these topics:
GT5 screenshots and box shots, note when posting to limit width to 800px to prevent page stretching.
Media previews and reviews of the full game.
User reviews of GT5 features.
Included vehicles.
Offline race reports.
GT5 (and GT5P) compatible hardware, such as steering wheel sets.
If you have the time to maintain a thread about any portion of GT5 content properly during the lifespan of GT5, then you certainly can do so. Typical subjects that often have their own thread for past GT titles include (but are not limited to) Licence test write ups, track lists, overall car lists, prize/reward car lists., etc. Until a volunteer presents themself to take that on, that information can and should be posted ITT and I will deal with it.
