I just found an mp3 from google.
None of them sound as crisp as the original though.

EA Getting Rid of Online Passes
That’s that.
by Colin Moriarty MAY 15, 2013
Online Passes – the controversial attempt by many publishers to encourage new game sales by locking online-centric content for used copies – has become engrained in gaming culture over the last several years. But according to a report on VentureBeat, one major company is doing away with them.
Electronic Arts – the mega-publisher behind a litany of games including Madden, FIFA, Battlefield, Dead Space, Mass Effect and more – will be “discontinuing” its Online Pass initiative. In a statement provided to VentureBeat, EA’s John Reseburg said that “none of our new EA titles will include that feature.”
Reseburg admitted that Online Passes just don’t seem to be working. “Initially launched as an effort to package a full menu of online content and services, many players didn’t respond to the format. We’ve listened to the feedback and decided to do away with it moving forward.”
Many major publishers – including Sony and Ubisoft – continue to use Online Passes, though interestingly, Microsoft never seemed to go down that road. Will EA’s abolishment of this system coerce other publishers to follow suit?
Man 30 hours in and I just realized there is a Roadrunner Records radio station in Sleeping Dogs.
All I can seem to get is Machine Head and Fear Factory, but Im not complaining. \m/ \m/
I dunno, it might not necessarily be a bad thing. If they can make it better on PS3 than on PS4 (assuming they're still trying to "maximize it's potential"), then I'm all for it. Plus on a marketing/sales standpoint, using GT6 as a launch-title, they probably won't have enough PS4's to satisfy the demand.GT6.

They should have made it retro-active and removed the stupid online passes from games like Battlefield and Dead Space 3. That was really idiotic.EA Getting Rid of Online Passes

Didn't even play GT5 so I won't be complaining. However now I don't have much of a reason to pick up a launch day PS4.GT6.

We drive on the left side of the road here so it wasn't confusing for me.Every damn time.I've been playing Sleeping Dogs non stop lately since they added it to PS+ last week. Loved the triad story and I always get confused and drive on the right hand side and keep getting into cars on the left hand side lol.

This is true actually.
Half of GT5 sales and GT as a whole is in Europe and Europe is the hardest place to launch which is why we always get left for last so you might as well establish a user base, launch with Drive Club for the petrol heads then GT7 for 2015.
It's going to be a pain unplugging and plugging in both consoles.
Picked up my 51" Samsung for $450 last year.. Came out to around $520 after taxes and all that.Might think about investing in a tv with 2 HDMI ports so you can just switch back and forth between them using the remote. That's what I am planning on doing when I pick up the PS4. By that time a good 46" Samsung should be $500-600.
LED or Plasma? Haven't looked at the Samsung plasmas yet, but if they're good I might go for one. Always thought Panasonics were the best for plasmaPicked up my 51" Samsung for $450 last year.. Came out to around $520 after taxes and all that.
Black Friday deal? I cant find anything decent for less that $700 currently. I am looking for a backlit LCD
