Glitches

  1. Birthday Glitch

    All you have to do in this glitch is: 1. Create a new account on your PS3. 2. Sign up for PlaystationNetwork. 3. (Important) On setting up the day you were born, you have to put the EXACT MM/DD. 4. The year would be the car that you want. For example you want a Mercedez Benz Sauber C9 '89. The year you would put the account that you created is 1989. *Beware that you won't always get the car that you want. 5. After creating the account, continue on GT mode and it shall give you a coupon according to that year. 6. It will give you a random car according to the year that you posted as your birthday. 7. Then, you can give it as a gift to your original account. **It is up to you what you do with the car. Sell it, drive it, tune it. Whatever.
