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! Grin

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?

Yes. Upwards towards 45mins to an hour. The times displayed on the screen have no resemblance to reality, even when it only says 5 seconds left (about 5 minutes!).

The AI can be a little overbearing and short-sighted at times.

There's a simple solution though - a fast car! Grin

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 Undecided

Treated myself to Logitech Driving Force GT - excellent wheel, retailing for £70-80.

The Logitech Driving Force Pro appears to be pretty much the same, but without the GT branding, and a little cheaper.

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 £10 IKEA kiddies table (once he's in bed!). Good as there a "paddle shift" buttons (not levers like the G25/27, but perfectly good), and the sequential stick too.

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! Lips Sealed
