Found it today!  There were two left at the WalMart.  (It takes a lot to get me into the WalMart here in Mountain View, and I usually need a therapist to go with me or else I'll get hauled to jail, it's insane in there)

Installing it right now, can't wait to try it!

Just installed the two "stealth" cars from the Amazon pre-order (codes came via email, cars redeemed in Playstation store). McLaren F1 GTR and the Maxda 787B...


...it may not be in the spirit of the game (I was surprised it let me), but it didn't half make the European hot-hatch championship easy in the McLaren!

I've heard this game is a technical masterpiece but the AI is just as broken as GT4.

Any truth to this?

I can't get it to install, unless I am just being impatient.  It goes through the install screens, then it gets to a screen where I have to adjust the resolution by putting all four corners directly in the corners of my TV, then hit X, and the bar slowly fills up and it says installing Gran Tourismo game files.  The bar fills up, but it just sits there on that screen. 


Those of you that have it, did this part take long?

Big Truck ............. the game needs to connect to the GT5 server to install fully and that is causing slow load and install times as the server is busy.

Craig I'm using the standard game pad ....... I'm loving the acceleration on the right stick as it's so much easier to feed in the power gently off tight corners.

Some of the AI seems to have glue on it ...... you bump it and it sticks to you  :-/

Thanks c that's the one I've been looking at. What's the force feedback like

Yeah after multiple attempts I said screw it, I'll do the full install later.  It doesn't take that long to load a track anyway, and I haven't had any lag issues.

Nice, as long as you fix it to something fairly solid. I use a

Finally got my copy today....I'm gonna save up my pennies and get a G27 in a month or two.

Well the only thing I don't like so far is when I was installing the game, it was stuck on "3 secs remaining" for 25 minutes!
