I don't know if anyone here owns a fat or slim PS3, but some of you may have heard that this racing game is planned to hit the stores around Feb/Mar of 2010. I already went to GameStop to reserve my copy a few weeks back, already paid in full. And then I read that there is already a free-download of this game that serves as a demo and a contest to see who would get the fastest in-demo lap times before the end of this month. Do I have any Gran Turismo fans here? What are your thoughts? P.S: I know this is a game but I doubt we even have a PS3 emulator to TAS this game.

Okay, I was right the first time because I thought this forum was specifically for talking about TAS'ing any game for any console, regardless. Added "[PS3]" into the header to ensure distinguishment (I'm surprised it's not even a word) from non-PS3 games.

Well, given that we don't have PS2 emulation, I would figure PS3 emulation is more than a decade away, much less by the end of the month. Also, I'm pretty sure it is against the general code of ethics of this website to participate in a contest like this using TAS tools. Even if, for example, Dolphin were able to connect to the Wii servers, it would be totally unethical to have a TAS achieve a world record in Mega Man 9.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

Given Nintendo's track record in securing their services I would think that's not entirely impossible.

What if you put a robot holding a controller and program it to beat the game (through either AI or recorded button pushes)?
