I fail to see the value of this thread at all - we have similar threads in the GT4 forum, and don't need more segregation of "Drifters" vs "Non-Drifters".
I preordered mine last May (from Play.com), and just ordered GT4: Prologue (from Amazon.com), which will see an EU/PAL release on May 15th. But I guess I'm not a "Drifter" (although I can and do).
