Unless you want Obutto to take my money, perhaps undeservingly, TAKE ACTION NOW!
Oh yeah, and for this thread:
1. Damage might be an option that you can toggle on/off/little/lot/retarded/ect. Some parts of GT5 obviously don't have any option other than retarded.
2. Everyone with GT5 posting pics/vids online is totally retarded, unable to speak english, doesn't give a $%^& about informing anybody about anything, and is incapable of doing anything right at all.
3. We get to have the cars in GT4 PLUS 200 beautiful premium cars. PLUS some more cars at the GT4 standard (better, actually). It's great.
4. Rims in GT4 were done poorly. Most wheel upgrades for the road cars tuners modify are different sizes from the originals, and GT4 just kinda stretched different designs to the wheel space of the car models. As if they were the same size as the stock wheels. (If I remember correctly) It was better than nothing... but I'm glad if such upgrades to a car now alter the characteristics of the car as they should and are a part of the physics simulation. 200 extra-beautiful cars with such a capability is great!

(If its still just going to stretch a rim desgin to the whatever wheel space on anything, without impacting the car's performance correctly, then its stupid retarted that every car cannot have this done, though.)
5. Brake upgrades are IMPORTANT. DAMN. Aftermarket brakes for old sports cars allow a driver to have much more control over braking. They give a skilled driver perfect precision when braking so you are able to threshold brake. Weak(stock) brakes make threshold braking hard/impossible. GT games have represented these differences in past GT games. WTF? I'll get over it. So will you. Nobody will be able to go back to a SD Gran Turismo. Nobody.
6. The sound is great. Greater than any other GT game, by far.
7. The tracks that are there, ARE BEAUTIFUL. They're not just pavement. They immerse you in an awesome environment making the drive/race enjoyable no matter what. If you miss some stupid specific stretch of pavement(circuit, course, or whatever), then recreate the aspects of it you want in the track creator!
I'm still hyped for this game. Nothing posted on this board has changed that.
