Finally got my hands on a copy this lunchtime, and went home eagerly awaiting some gameplay. Unfortunately there was over half an hour of upgrading, installing, and agreements before I could get to anything meaningful, but, once I did.. WOW! The intro video is fantastic, not the best in terms of content, but the graphics are just unrivalled.

I've only had chance to do 3 laps of the London circuit, which were great, if not a touch short. I've ended up buying a Type R as my first car. Looking forward to getting something with a bit of pace, RWD and decent handling. Can't wait to get back on it later tonight.

Mine was £24.99 from Saino's which I was a bit annoyed about, seeing as its £17 on the tinternet, but I couldn't be bothered to trapse around town in the rain trying to find it for a few quid less.

Pre-ordered mine but it didnt come in this mornings post so I'm gutted! Hopefully it will arrive early tomorrow so I can play before work, cant wait.

Unless we didnt opt for the PSN version, they never updated the store yesterday, so much for it being on PSN 24hrs before BD...

I got mine through this morning... (was late due to play.com orders not arriving)
Just bought myself my first car... Mini Cooper S :P

I tell you...

I'm amazed also.
Compared to my rFactor on the PC.

this is really close to real life, (I've had all previous GT versions)
without a doubt... the full version in Dec.. is going to be the best selling Racing game.

I've got G25, 40inch, 5.1, and duel shock 3.
but...

I cant use my G25 as my TV is the other way from my pc desk.

so... *Time to order a playseat* :dontgetit:
http://www.playseats.com/

going for the A1GP seat.

Got a 100 in paypal, to put towards one, get paid monday.... Then... I'm happy :(

Yea... its expensive, but my Gaming setup beats Arcades, and its much cheaper in the long run.
plus... I'm mad about driving games.

I know what u mean.
I've stopped now after doing all C classes in Gold.

I want my G25 wheel setup.
so when I order my Playseat, I will be happy.
