For those wondering about picking it up, I just did. I thought I was going to skip this one, but with the updates and at under $20 I bought it. Of course it had 18 updates, so I just turned off the TV and went through my workday. When I got home it was all ready to go.
I'm enjoying it. I went into it expecting it to expand upon and improve GT5 issues rather than fix them, so I set my expectations fairly low. And with that I've already spent a lot of time racing. Anyway, the clincher for me was seeing the number or tracks and time/weather changes that are available now. With each GT since 3 I've probably spent more time just lapping different cars around tracks.
Finally, as soon as I was able I played a season event and was surprised at how much money it gave me. (Which I then used to buy a MX-5 and redo the first two races, as I started GTs 3-5 with a MX-5 and felt a little irked my first car was chosen for me this time).
