    Will add ya next time I switch on, my username is cupradave :wink:

    Finally got my copy from Play.com in yesterdays mail, just a wee bit late

    Switched it on last night and it said this game must be installed, fair enough I thought

    Game installed, then says there is an update available, ok lets do it, got about a quarter of the way (took about 20 mins) in then it failed, ok maybe something going on with my broadband, was on the laptop at the same time

    Game started none the less, watched the opening sequence, ace graphics, got into the game, picked my first car then went into the events section for an explore, oh news icon whats this? click, update required, ok lets try again, same thing happened again, failed

    Had a couple of c class races then had another explore, thought I would try GT TV, and again, update required, ok 3rd time lucky I thought lets go, I sat waiting for over and hour, it got about 2 thirds in then failed again

    Geordie, did you have this much bother trying to install the update?

    I tried again twice tonight and it failed twice

    Even after all the hassle I did enjoy playing the few races I did before I got so pi$$ed off about the update I switched off and went to bed. Dont think it will put me off buying the full game though, when eventually released.

    Didn't have any problems with it failing. It did take a while as my PS3 needed a update anyway, as I haven't had it on for a while. I usually just let mine run when i'm not there.

    I got mine on Friday morning, set it away, went outside to fix (or break) things on the car, and it was ready to play in the evening!

    Haven't looked where it installs, but is it just as a file on the HDD? Is it possible to uninstall and start a fresh? let me know how you get on.

    If anyone is looking to get this game though, go to Woolies, they have it for 20quid, whereas Game has it for 25. Play.com is few quid cheaper, if you can wait!

    Added you last night Cupradave, glad you got yours working. Had a few hours play last night, then it said it needed another update, so went to bed!

    Oh, my username is actually ManxG, not Manx5! That's one for another forum, it was a long week!
