A Phony Eu spokeman said, "Well you know we really don't give two hoots about Playstation owners in the European Region. We have shown that with the pathetic PSN updates we give them. So we'll make them wait for this, say a month or two. By then they'll need all their money for GTA IV. Oh wait? What? Oh that's delayed in Europe too?!?"

not sure on this one yet, played the demo but wasn't blown away by it, maybe because it feels more of the same to me

Yay, this is gonna be a sweet game. I've always been a Gran Turismo fan and I own Gran Turismo 1 through 4, and the HD Demo. Hopefully this will look way better than Forza. Oh, what am I saying, of course it will! It's Gran Turismo!

All you Europe people need to stop complaining about all the delays. Its not the developers fault that there is a million languages to translate the game into. In America its only one. In Japan its one. So for you guys its a little harder. Happy Birthday bplewis24. Anyway, ill probably get this but man $40 seems a bit steep considering they are going to release the rest later. If the full version is only $40 then that will be straight with me

I hate to say this with all these GT fans around, but I hate racing sims. I liked the original GT but the more realistic it got, the less I liked them.

I felt the Japanese version was rushed out to the public, it played a little under par graphically with the frame rates. I just hope, when released in english, it'll be much improved. Otherwise a great game, but would prefer the full game instead.
