For anyone who ordered from Shopto.net go now and claim your Audi V8 code, its in the codes section, you need to claim it, you have 7 days.

Played it for a bit yesterday, love it so far, the livery editor seems really impressive. Also made some amazing screens in photomode, their servers aren't up yet so I can't upload them unfortunately.

Servers were up until about 10pm last night, I guess they are prepping for launch, no doubt be up today.

Maybe they are wiping leaderboards or something.

To my surprise my limited edition showed up this evening :woot: been playing it for a little but now, just awesome! I'm glad I didn't pass judgement based on that jerky demo I downloaded a few weeks back (cause I was too impatient to wait for it to be released to silver members on live :p) cause the full version is smooth as silk, love it :)

That's awesome, something even the sternest of GT fan would want :p

As I've said a few times though it sucks the devs can't find another way to do photomode shots, the compression sucks. MS should stop being so anal and let them export JPG to the 360 drive! Or even just an attached USB stick/hard drive.

Supposedly according to the reviewer, in the option the AI has a check box for psyke outs, so if you have a big car and come up behind them real fast, or act threatening at corners and such, there's a chance they'll run off the road.

Except for that, I suppose you'll need to get first just like every other driver out in the world, drive better and more aggressive :p don't be a chicken at the corners, and if you use the raceline, don't start braking when it turns orange, most cars can go significantly into the red before needing to brake.

And if the game is not here when I get home from work... I'll be really annoyed.

I've had them go off the road a few times or take a wide line. I drive aggressive just the tracks are tiny and you start from the back and you 2/3 laps to come first, it is really tricky just because they'll brake early or drive into the side of you even if you have the racing line. It is only a minor annoyance because later with the bigger/wider tracks it will be easier to overtake. I've sort of got the hang of it on the smaller tracks, i'm just going on the outside of them and out braking them and cutting in.

Yeah I find that in the beginning when you start with a small hatchback, and starting last, if you dont pass the cars, there is no way to get first place.

With some of the Grand Prix tracks etc, its easier, its just the first few races.

I've got the game, its ****ing fantastic! Best racer I've ever played by a LONG way and I've played all the NFS series, GTR, GTR2/Evolution, rFactor etc.

Don't forget that the actual gameplay lacks anti aliasing so the edges aren't as smooth as some of these shots. Once in motion though you just don't care, the gameplay is just too perfect, they've nailed it 100%.

That said though, bar the new cars/tracks and cockpit views, its pretty much the same game. But FM2 was killer to begin with, this just perfects it. They've pushed the little 360 as far as it can go. FM4 on Xbox 720 is going to be surreal.

My copy arrived yesterday, early afternoon. Been playing it as much as I can ever since. I'm level 22 (I want that free Veyron!) and decided to take this random pic a couple of hours ago to get that achievement.

Nothing special, sorry :p I'll get some better ones when I can be arsed.

I like the vast number of icons around the game and the website to remind me I'm a VIP now :p The keyring and USB stick in the collectors box, as well as the box itself, are awesome.
