Something in me still doesn't want to buy the DLC again... might just waste more money and it not working again.

From the PS3 blog...

"One more note: Those who purchased the course and/or vehicle DLC that was released in October will be able to download Family Upgrade unlocks for free from the store. This means that if you bought the Racing Car Pack, Course Pack, or the ‘Complete Pack’ that contained both of these, by downloading the free Family Upgrade items, the content will now be accessible to more than just the user account that purchased the content. Family members or friends using the same PS3 can all use the courses and cars. Note that the upgrade doesn’t apply to the Racing Gear Pack or Special Paint Pack, and starting next week, new purchases will not have the restriction in place."

Not sure if that means the DLC will no longer be zone-restricted, or just that all users on the same PS3 will be able to access the DLC... Hmmm.

Yeah, it's still pretty vague, for now. Just waiting for some other idiot to try it out before I do.

PSN told me the "refund" I got was against their contract, but was a one-time only courtesy to me, since I wasn't aware of it.

[h2]Gran Turismo sales hit 7.3 million

Polyphony Digital has provided official, updated sales figures for their racing sim Gran Turismo 5. As of September 2011, it has sold 7.3 million units, 1 million more than where it stood at the same time last year.

GT5 sold the most in Europe, selling 4.5 million copies, then North America with 1.8 million copies and then Japan with 650K copies sold. The rest were sold in other parts of Asia.

Gran Turismo 5 released just a year ago, in November 2010. It’s surprising to see a PS3 exclusive sell so well, so quickly.

In our review of Gran Turismo 5, we gave it a 9/10, calling it “the best racing experience on the PlayStation 3″. Read the full review through the link.
