Has the game even been released in the States yet?
Went out looking for it and no shops had it. And soo far both torrents Ive dled have decided it would be more fun to not work and piss me off than to actually run the game.


Bored as hell of GT4 and I need something to do.....

It'll probably be in the shops out in the states when Simbin have finished the Oval circuits add-ons, since you guys have problems turning right

My PC just crashed -again- so I'll have to rejoin again later

Any tips you have to prevent the whole thing freezing are gratefully received.

The torrent won't work, it has extreme copy protection. I'll buy a copy and send it to you if you want...... (with payment of course )

I dunno man, I think I can get it to work. copy protection. My problem is, I have the game installed, but when I go to run it I get a "insert disk into diff drive" error. I have the miniimage which is basically the play disk, so I mount it to a virtual drive and run it from there but it still gives me the error. I still got a few things to try. People have been saying they have gotten the game to work, so Im gonna keep trying.

I could have somebody buy it for me but since my parents control the transferable money, and they arent very trusting of random people online, my hopes are slim.

Make sure you aren't running any other applications like P2P, Email, MSN Messenger type things or other people connected to the internet in your house aren't either. All I can think of at the moment.
