If its 31quid now, might as well sign up for 2 years on the dash and get the free 1600 ms points to go with it ?

Got my last 12 months from the cheap website, but if its only 2 quid more from the dash, its a no brainer.
Just remember to switch off the auto renewal that it will no doubt setup!

Didnt think much of the demo, at least its got proper rallying instead of circuit racing like Dirt 2, just a shame the gameplay is crap.

My BB connection was installed today by Mr Openreach, Cheers

Must plug in PS3 and D/L this ASAP

Circuits are crap unless it's a nice short special stage with water and jumps and plenty of hairpins

i downloaded the demo the other day on the ps3 and was not impressed at all, hope the full games better. the handling feels like those games at the arcade places and don't make a ittle mistake as you'll end up about 4 seconds behind the leader even if its only touching some grass for a millisecond.

User error

I haven't found this TBH, I have well beaten the AI on on the highest level with all the driving aids switched off. You do have to make changes to the setup to make it driveable though.

My 'lap' was by no means perfect either, a few more seconds to come off, but touching the grass or hitting a fence certainly doesn't end it all.

played the demo - graphics were very disappointing and you clip the grass and slow down to a crawl, why do they do this???, quite liked the handling though, feels a bit more weightier but yes i will be waiting for dirt 3 looks the bollox and its meant to be more about rally this time

I got it on Friday. played a fair bit since and I think it's very good.

The sound is dreadful and the GFX aren't much better than PS2, but the playability is very good. There's loads of cars and championships to try out, the cars all have different characteristics.

Touching the grass doesn't slow you down, you have to get quite well in to it for that to happen. You can't get very far off track before it resets you, which is a bit annoying because a huge off now and then makes you drive a bit more sensibly.

Overall, good, could just do with looking/sounding better.

I've picked up Sega Rally for about £10 in game, quality game, more an arcade racer than a simulator but for £10 it a good deal for fans of the arcade game.

I saw a magazine review of WRC 2010 got 79% in Games Master
