gran turismo 5

GET EM WHILE YOU CAN JIMMY

In my previous story I told you about the Shick and Gel promotion for PS3. Buy a product and get DLC for the games Gran Turismo 5, Killzone 3 or inFamous 2. Well, someone fucked up MAJORLY! If you go to the redeem site, you can add in ANY amount of fake information, and they give you a redeem code. To confirm this, I just used it for Killzone 3. Hey, even if you don't have these games , it isn't too bad of an idea to get the DLC for future preferences. You basically go to the Edge/Shick site and input either these 2 codes 841058005209 / 841058005261.

Don't want to just buy PSN cards for points? Sony has promotions with Edge and Shick now for your DLC needs!

Killzone 3 has been doing a slurpee promotion, but now Killzone 3, Gran Turismo 5 and inFamous 2 are having a whole new set of awesome. Edge Shaving Gel and Shick Quatro products will have special attatchments to them. Purchasing these manly products gets you DLC for the game shown on it. The DLC are as follows :

•  KILLZONE 3- Retro Map pack with 2 levels OR 3 unlock points to use on any gun/ability ( same as slurpee rewards). Maps are Salum Market and Blood Gracht
• GRAN TURISMO 5- A customized Chevy Camaro SS “Edge Special” for Gran Turismo 5
• inFAMOUS 2-  Sniper blast, which will be a narrow AOE.

Buy some shaving gel and get a Sniper Blast, win win situation right? Leave a comment below on what you guys think of these promotions. I'm loving it, first it was getting bonus xp in Killzone 3 for buying a slurpee, now rewards for buying a new razor? ( which I NEEDED) Keep in mind that it isn't a rip-off, Killzone 3 map pack costs $5, some of this stuff costs about the same.

GT5 is the real driving simulator... I guess these tiny euro cars can't go up hill?

People and they're fucking (lack of) editing... Skip to about 2:00 to cut the menus and loading screens.

Wow.

So for the thanksgiving I visited with family and friends. I also brought along Gran Turismo 5 and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Of course my friend grabbed the Gran Turismo 5 first, but what happened next is unbelievable.

I guess you can say this was an intended experiment to see what my friend thought of these two brand new racing games. Gran Turismo 5 was still in the shrink wrap when I brought it over. I had already played the crap out of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and it's no secret that I love it. They writin' stories about my record times on the internet.

My friend immediately grabbed for the Gran Turismo 5, unwrapped it and put it in his Playstation 3. Of course we had to do a system update and an install. It's the Playstation what did you expect I told him. Reports on the internet was that there is a 45+ minute install time for GT5. Luckily we were distracted by family, football, alcohol and turkey. After the install I grabbed the remote and started to look through the menus. I just wanted a quick race so I can see it. I've been waiting for such a long time for this game and the internet has been an unstoppable buzz machine about everything GT5. Well I couldn't just race, I had to do a license test first. First license braking challenge. Ok seems simple enough. The countdown begins and then I'm off down the straight away. There is a giant checkered board at the end of the track, I guess gotta stop there. No problem. Perfect. Wait what? Failed? Aw fuck. I was called for the official turkey dinner start and left the game running right where I failed to brake. I was in shock that I failed the braking test.
