and any uk release dates?
March next year at a guess. Officially is Spring 2008 as far as I know.
At least it's not far away, but to release a game that's not finished without modes is apalling and incredibly disappointing. Then again, Sony did it with Motorstorm too and I've always been vocal about how that annoyed me.
It's not good enough.
It's under 2 weeks later I think they are doing it more as a Christmas Day event kind of thing, I guess they could have just waited and released it all on Christmas Day personally I'd rather have it now gives me a chance to learn the tracks before going online.
So lots of talk about how it looks, nice replay's, nice cockpit, very little comments on how it actually plays? which seems a little worrying, how is the feeling from the car? do you feel attached to the road or is the floaty feeling from previous games still there, how is the actual physics?
Has anyone played this that plays PC sims, to compare somewhat?

Whys it dissapointing, the single player campaign is quite hard, has 24 challenges and giving that were talking little over a week now before the online is available, most should have the single player finished and the tracks learned.
If anything the short delay is causing more HYPE.
Look at the excellent threads on AVF
People their seem more positive about the game and very few ive read are not enjoying it.
Cant comment regards PC sims though ive ordered the G25 for this as seen on You Tube it supports the "H" shift gears and the guys even using the clutch on the video.
I spent 30 mins in an Evo going round Suzuka in FM2 and GT5P and i really have to say the driving and handling in this is much more involving, you feel more attached to the road,
Look on AV Forums or NTSC-UK if you want more opinions.
I was quite reserved regarding my own first impressions, handling wise i personally wouldnt say its realistic, its fun and very rewarding to play.
Online races might just be awesome on this....

It's disappointing because I hate games that release half-finished, which it is. It's a problem I've had with all games that have done it. Something of Gran Turismo's stature is criminal.
Disappointing yes, i wasnt exactly jumping with joy, but id rather have it fully working and tested, than a botch job. Motorstorm was months after release this is 2 weeks, i also remember Hot shots golf 5 you had to wait a couple of weeks until the online portion was properly tested. Would you rather have waited till after Christmas for the online version? or had hours of enjoyment playing the SP mode getting used to tracks/cars 2 weeks earlier? Ideally you want to have both parts ready at launch, but its not, so i think releasing the MP part later and the SP now is a far better idea than holding on a couple of weeks to release both together.
ITS MARKETING!!!
They might even do the same for the USA and UK/Europe.
Besides i think most people dont mind a 2 WEEK delay!
Their only 5 years behind with an online service, whats 2 more weeks.
Again i ask when was it announced the GT5P is a Beta for multiplayer testing?
Is this the case, i assumed that when it goes online it will play as expected.
The HQ has their racks of own servers as seen in behind the scenes videos from the past.
