The lights are on
At long last, Polyphony Digital will be offering DLC for Gran Turismo 5, and the content is broken up into four packs that have something for everyone.
Although the significant 2.0 Update is now available, the DLC packs won't come out until October 18.
All of these packs can be also be bought in one bundle for $11.99, and PlayStation Plus members will also get a discount on the DLC the first month it comes out.
The Course Pack ($4.99)
This features the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, with its difficult turns and changes in elevation, as well as a Polyphony Digital-created neon kart course (at top).
Racing Car Pack ($11.99)
This pack contains 15 cars, including 11 touring editions of cars already in the game, 3 karts, and the Red Bull/Polyphony developed Red Bull X2010 prototype.
Paint Pack ($1.99)
Gives you 100 paint chips to play with, including matte, aluminum, and chrome shades.
Racing Gear Pack ($2.99)
Comes with 90 pieces of racing gear, including the firesuits of four un-specified NASCAR drivers, and the suit and helmet of WRC's Sebastien Loeb, among others.

None of these really seem all that great....
LOL I'm gonna buy all 3. This seems a little late (almost 2 months to the year mark now) but I couls care less. I'm getting ALL that stuff.
I always cringe when there's a DLC just for extra costumes.
Yawn, two whole tracks. I can't wait. On a side note. If I buy this, then host an online room, can anybody race the tracks with me? You can with the course creator, that's why I ask.
Ha!!! Funny how all these together are still cheaper than Call of Duty Map Packs. I think it's pretty smart as well, breaking them in to categories.
I was really excited about the new cars.... But all that's relly new are some *** gokarts? WTF! I've had 3 x1's for 1o months, plus the free one they gave out the other week, so I got 4. The rest sounds kinda nice though.
Gonna buy this pack when I buy GT5 :)
cant wait i played the hell out of all the gran turismos also i would love to see a gran turimo replay
Good move making the bundle the same price as the car pack. It seems like the car pack is the only thing people would even want, but since the bundle is the same price... Might as well grab that.
Still, these seem a bit expensive. $5 for two tracks? $12 for 11 re-skinned cars and some karts? Interesting.
Oh hum!!! What the heck, these suck!
I still don't understand why developers charge you 2 bucks for extra colors. It's not like it's that hard to program it.
I purchased the bundle. Out of 10 I would say it is a 6.25, primarily for the fact that GT even started dlc (HUGE step for them); however they dropped the ball. Like needing a grand slam, and you ended up with a sacrifice fly. First there is WAY too much love for the Nissan GT-R, great car but come on guys there are already enough in the game. Not to mention the cool cars that have come out from other mfgs since the original release of this game (Mustang Super Snake, what Hennessey Motors does to Camaro SS's, Ferrari 458 Spider, to name but a few). Any of these plus others should have been made available. The paint options are cool as well as the two new tracks, ESPECIALLY Francorchamps!!! Hopefully a seasonal event (or two) is on the horizon for this track...I am also hoping the next DLC will fare slightly better!!!
