Just got done working out - I'll be back into it shortly, to be interrupted by that whole "Thanksgiving" thing...

Totally worth the pre-order, I LOVE that car.

@joshg120: I agree, the event on the Ring rocks! Can't make it for gold, but silver is in my range with no problems
+1 on AMG academy. Silver is a "here you go thanks for trying". gold is much harder.

And at 1am, my driving sucks, I did like 5 full laps in the SLS at 7:35.5, 7:35.4, 7:35.7 ... etc. When the silver is a 7:35. *facepalm
Finally nailed it with a 7:20-something.

Nascar is kinda cool, if I'm honest. Got an insane time for the 4th intermediate class, like 10.980 when the gold was 11.100. It was soooo perfect and smooth. The 3rd class which is supposedly super hard I nailed on silver on my 2nd try. Again, smoothness is key here.

OK so yesterday, I cancelled my "Collector's Edition GT5" game from Amazon because I chose overnight shipping - which should have been released on November 23 - and I should have had delivered by Nov 24. Correct? Did anyone else order from Amazon (or another company) and get their game on the 24th via UPS, USPS?

So I went out to a store and bought the "regular" version so I could play this weekend. Will I regret this in the future? The CE offered 5 other cars, and a booklet...is the booklet any good? Are the 5 other cars playable right from the beginning? If so, wouldn't you be able to dominate the field right from the get go?

Will I be able to buy the other cars (perhaps even the stealth F1) online later on down the road?

I've never even hooked my PS3 up to the internet, and I have heard the PS3 network is "free" unlike XBox Live, is that true?

What is this car? I pre-ordered and didn't see anything special.

The stealth Mclaren F1 you can download with a special code, Gamestop puts it on the receipt.

Has anyone found any good deals for a G25 or G27? Don't really want to pay upwards of 200$, and they're all at 3-350$ right now.
