Probably already posted elsewhere, but I think it's funny.

The patch is adding it to arcade mode, it's already in the main game once you level to 20.

Have you made it to level 20 yet? Everything i've read says its all cosmetic.

I don't own the game yet because I don't want to pay full price for it. If someone bundled a $20-30 gift card I might.

Plus I don't really have anywhere to hook up my steering wheel right now, though there might be some shitty table in my basement that's the right height.

Sony has debunked claims that damage in Gran Turismo 5 is unlocked, telling IGN that the feature "occurs right from the beginning."

Since Polyphony's long in development driving simulator released last week there's been confusion about how damage works in Gran Turismo 5, with its implementation disappointing some while an online video has suggested than it's more extensive than is immediately apparent.

Sony has since clarified to IGN how damage works in the game. "Damage occurs to cars right from the beginning," Sony said in a statement, "it is not "unlocked."

Confusion seems to have stemmed from its differing implementation across the game's extensive garage, a point that Sony further clarified.

I would still like to see a professional driver take a car on a track and then in the games to compare, but that's still a neat comparison.

Not a pro driver, but Jeremy Clarkson did this on Top Gear with an NSX a few years back (I think GT 4 was out then).

[MechDeus]

Is that available online anywhere?

[Rumpy]

It should be...there are usually compilation torrents around all the time. It might even be on Netflix Instant, there are a few seasons on there. I can't remember what season/episode though.

Thanks, I'll look up which it is and see if it's on Netflix.
