From the screen shots seen so far it looks good, very good. Happy to see that the vasline sheen has gone from most games these days (dam u 360). Getting my copy 2morrow

So did this unlock at 12am or do we have to wait till 3am? If it's unlocked at 3 then I think I'll just go to bed.

From those shots they both have good points, overall F1 looks better in my eyes. It could be a touch more vibrant (could just change saturation in graphics card panel??)
NFS shot:
+Smooth edges (Although from other pics in F12010 I've seen smoooth edges)
+Sharper textures up close
F1 shot:
+Much more realistic looking, depth
+Sexy sky
+More spectators
+Better shadows in distance
+Better performance than NFS will ever have especially with a mass of AI
+Decent trees

sky looks sexy? its the same grey sky at every track
better shadows in the distance? have you ever played shift? do a lap of shift and then do one of f1 2010.
f1 seems to be lacking shadow and lighting all over the tracks , i remember codemasters hyping up how in a 100% race we would notice the track shadows move with the sun , lol go play somewhere like montreal the track has barely any shadows even though theres huge trees either side.
f1 shadow and lighting cant even compare to shifts.
i get much better fps in shift aswell even with 16 cars and 32xaa
trees look pretty rubbish in both games so ill give you that one, the buildings look more realistic from a distance but the game has some wierd haze/blur depth of field that looks crap, i want clarity!
Well I did have shift yes, I haven't played F1 yet so will come back and leave my opinion once I have. NFS was ok I guess main turn off for me was the performance, it was horrible throughout and made me regret buying tbh. Even now with improved drivers/patches it is still a dog with ai. Which basically means I can't have a decent race. From the pics I'm seeing even your one right there 
F1 is looking better, I do agree that there is this slight dull feel but you can say the same of GRID but everybody praised it, probably a codie thing :/

Just rage quit after I've had 6 invalidated laps in a row on the Barcelona track, on the last god damn corner where the huge curbs are...
Quite a challenging track compared to the first 4 or so I think? Though I am using my PS3 controller

Okay here is picture of grid with settings set to fairly high standards, 1920x1080 etc
GRID 2010-09-24 01-19-46-39 by adwol48, on Flickr
i'd say grid looks better lol, much better colours even if they are overbright and in the distance it doesnt have the wierd distortion, it seems to have more shadows beeing cast on the track aswell unlike f1 2010 where you barely notice any shadows even when theres blatantly trees on both sides of the track and you would expect to see shadows
the textures look about as low res though i wouldnt be suprised if its the same textures

Still not unlocked, store page says it's available.
Tried restarting Steam loads of times, even tried deleting Client Registry Blob.
Codemasters have said the game should have unlocked at midnight.
This is the one thing Valve suck at, games never seem to be ready to play when they are supposed to.

Getting the same. People who buy the game via steam after release are playing, those who pre-ordered are still hanging about
Yup thats probably whats going to happen.

Still no unlock for me either, was rather hoping it would be unlocked by now....after all the webpage says its available now....
Got my copies for the Xbox and PC yesterday. I tried the Xbox version first to see what it was like. I only have a pad to drive with so whilst the game was great, it was a bit fiddly to play (will be investing in a wheel very soon). Installed the PC version (which seemed to take an age) and started it up with my Momo Racing Force wheel ready. The game looks stunning and plays fantastically with a wheel. I've not had any issues with loading times (around 30 seconds to load the race weekend) and fps in game. Runs perfectly smooth with all details set to on (except V sync) and high (not sure if there is a setting above high) and have been mainly racing round Monaco, Monza and Spa. No slow down what so ever 
.
My PC Spec:
For me, the game is a perfect balance between arcade and sim. I want it realistic but if it was too much of a hardcore sim, I simply wouldn't enjoy playing it. I have however had a few of the bugs listed earlier in the post. Mainly:
.
Hopefully there will be a patch very soon to resolve these problems. Other than that, I'm loving the game

They're good, but I've had a puncture in most of the 3 lap races I've done.
Couldn't see them at all from 20th position in Monaco
.Not sure about wet times being too fast, but in Monza I was 6th in dry practice, then 1st by 1.5 seconds in a wet qualifying and that wasn't a clean lap either.
Hopefully there will be a patch very soon to resolve these problems. Other than that, I'm loving the game
