(or it's the same as what we have on the net?)
well, I just got a mail from cdon.com that says my order is delivered! to bad it's weekend till tuesday!
Oh right, well that makes me wish I'd ordered mine from cdon.com
EDIT: Although it appears that they stock it for everywhere (Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland) except the EU which is probably the one I would've ordered it from so maybe i'm not too unlucky. It does seem like more and more places are sending it out early though.

Nice video. I haven't watched the others yet but it would be nice if they showed some cockpit madness!
I'm hoping that PD will give us an option where you can view your car's surroundings (not just cockpit but different views as well) with the right analog stick.

Things have changed since the Xbox arrived, havent they! 
Even I prefer to Accel and Brake using the Right and Left Triggers (on 360), respectively. Adds more control, specially mid-corner, when you need to correct the weight balance of the car at times (more like Left Foot Braking / Braking while the throttle is still on). You cant do that with the right analog stick, accel/brake, button config. And since PGR3, I am so used to using the Right Analog Stick for a 360 degree view (I drive using 3rd person/chase cam view, as it helps me keep a better control of the car, for some weird reason)..

I used to use the right thumbstick to accel/brake, but since Forza2, i got accustomed to the "triggers" to accel/brake and the right thumbstick to look around, which is a very good feature.
I too would like to see this feature added to GT5 (to be able to look around).
Question for anyone who has the game. You may speculate on this even if you don't know the answer for sure.
For online races, what is the number of laps the host can set? Between what and what? I'm hoping we will be able to race up to 50 lap races. Long races with a bunch of people is FUN FUN FUN!!!!!

Moderator Edit 99 LAPS?????????????????????? ONLINE?????
Where did you read this bro? Link?
Amar can you confirm?

Much apologies if what I said was fake - the memory of mine is a bit vague to say the least.
Anyway, thinking back, I wanted an option where you can set the laps infinite. However, I remember coming across a picture or video that shows 99 at the corner of the screen. It may be from the singleplayer or online. I was disappointed but 99 laps was long and good enough. 👍
Again, sorry if I'm wrong and made you happy for a min there!
Hopefully Amar can confirm this.

There was a screen which was leaked that had the F12007 on it with Japanese screen text so one would assume yeah...
My preferred controls are:I have heard it can go up as high as 99.
Personally, I do not like the r2 l2 triggers for the ps3. It seems as if you have to use more 'strength' to press it than the ps2 controllers.
I also don't use the analog stick to drive. Square to accelerate and x to decelerate for me.
- X = Xlr8
- [ ] = Brake
- O = Handbrake
- ^ = Reverse
- Left stick = Steering
- R2 = Gears up
- L2 = Gears down
- L1 = Look behind
This basically leaves R1 available to launch the real-time adjustment option, and the d-pad for controlling said feature.
With the DS3/SIXAXIS, I find that if I use the triggers for accelerating and braking, steering with the analogue sticks can be a bit awkward at times. Luckily, the face buttons are pressure sensitive, so holding a mid-range speed around corners that need it isn't too bad. Even with triggers, the tendency is to depress them fully anyway as their is just too little play. I guess it's what you are used to.
Slightly different subject, I assume the intro is cool, no?! I'll be waiting to see it for myself on my 46" 1080p BRAVIA

Actually, Nomino.. I made a mistake
My controls are exactly like yours.
It is getting late here (6:42 AM right now) and I blame that for my mistake.

Aye, once bitten and all that! I just find that those controls really suit the design and layout of the pad. With the Xbox 360, I'm fine using the triggers as accelerate and brake, but I don't own one, so it's not an issue.same here.. those have been the controls since GT1 so I can't change now
wonder if I should use the dfp for GT5P though, but the pedal issue drives me mad!
I wouldn't bother with a wheel of any kind of the game. I bought a DFP for GT4, and while it was definitely fun, I couldn't progress through the game too well with it. I sold it a couple of weeks on. Regardless of what people might think, the game is designed for playing with the pad - even Kaz himself uses the d-pad and face buttons I believe.
