I think he means GTA4 (grand theft auto) and if you have played any of the gta games, you will know why they maybe banned in a country india, where theres jokers ready to imitate such games in real life

Anyways I got the game from US and it is fantabulous
I think u can order online from playasia and get it delivered!!

Instead of all that. Just download the update on your PC and then transfer it to the PS3 via pen drive.

I've done all my updates this way and it never fails.

Just make sure the folder order is as such

PS3 - UPDATE - and place the downloaded file in the update folder.

there you have it - if they have it bundled with ps3, you can get it as a separate title too an addictive game, i must say!

Thanks for that info Akshay. I have placed an order for the G25 for Rs18,600, Cant wait to get my hands on it now. Has anyone built a cockpit/frame for this wheel? Please post some pictures if you have.

Your welcome man.
Just one thing, your Internet connection/speed has little to do with downloading the update direct to the PS3 or to your PC. The problem is Sony's servers - they are erratic and awfully slow at times.

My bad, i meant GTA4

Thanks Jassi and Yogi, looks like its available elsewhere but not here. Any idea how much it retails for india? I think will check the indian ebay to see if i can order from there.

if not available in stores - get it from playasia.com - they have an option to pay in INR and also do delivery. I have ordered games earlier from them and have had no probs
Heres the link for gta4 - its around 3k inr - i got it for 50-60usd in US

[mobike008]

Whoa! 3K? that's expensive. I asked a wholesale store here to source it for me and he gives 15% on the retail price which is around Rs. 2700 or something. So effectively, it will be around 2.3K


If i dont get it from him, then will buy from play asia.

all - is it just me or can no one watch the free videos on gt-tv
i can watch the ones which can be directly downloaded - but anything which requires to goto the cart (even if free) elicits a "no items for you" on the cart screen. All the ferrari and top gear etc vids are free but need to be taken to cart and then downloaded (not direct download like the citroen, nissan, evo x vids)

[jassi]

another question - amongst the new cars in the update
1) lotus evora - 100k
Lotus Evora - True character in a faceless world.
2) ferrari california - 300k
See - Ferrari California
3) citroen gt concept 08 (hydrogen powered)
PistonHeads Headlines

which one is worth buying - in the game ofcourse

[jassi]

dont touch the lotus evora - its a waste of 100k - my ferrari f430 performs better in the S series races
