Interesting, I much prefer that GT-R model they have to the SLS you get with the sig edition and the books do look nice,
but it's still not enough to tempt me into spending the extra cash.

I will be getting this game the only driving simulation game to get. The Gran Turismo games have never been a let down. Crap that reminds me I still have some stuff in Gran Turismo 4 that I haven't unlocked.

Wow, it's not even released yet and there's an update
Wonder how the servers are going to cope with that tomorrow?

From what I've read, the patch simply enables the online functions plus a few bug fixes/last minute options.

It could be that patch that prevented people who got leaked copies from enjoying the full full game.

anyone else looked for their car on the list?

My 3000GT is on there, in 17 different versions (12 3000GT, 5 GTO)

Very happy about that.

It is the closest ill get to a 700whp vr4.

Woot, Amazon shipped my copy. Should get it early tomorrow around lunch time.

My car is not on the list, but the closest would be the GTI Mark. V, so I've am happy that it is a premium.

Yep, i always look and nope, there's not been a 306 in any GT as far as I know
But there's a Lotus Esprit V8 (premium) which is the one car I reeeeaaaaalllly want, so I guess that'll do.

Thats the only thing that makes me sad about the GT series, heavy favoring of Japanese cars, always been about 5000 Skyline versions and 3000GTs But its getting better, but things like having an 04 GTO rather than an 05 or 06 is puzzling to me.

So, is it as good as we all hoped? Or are the reviews correct (about it being only good, not amazing!)
