I'm taking a couple days off from work. Most games here in the USA release on a wednesday (or tuesday) so I plan on taking thursday and friday off so I can play it for four days straight.
When you get GT5... What's your plans?

You still using the DS3 or will you use a wheel?

Murphy's Law... I'd likely get hired for my first the day GT5 comes out!

Wheel.
Sorry to the op for off topic but are your times with the wheel as fast or faster than with a controller?

On the TT Demo my times with the controller were faster. I just couldn't get used to the physics enough to beat those times. I got within three tenths of my tuned time and gave up.

Like most when the day that GT5 comes and it is in stores it will be like a holiday. Depending on work load or other situations will consider taking a day or more of vacation. Might consider driving around as needed to get a copy at midnight. Otherwise would be buying a copy fairly early in the morning (before 8:00 am). Make sure room, TV, sound sytem, racing wheel etc. are set up for a long few days of game play. Once home with the game, will install and watch intro video with aww and amazement. Note to self make sure PS3 has been updated before this day occurs. If there is not a world wide release there might be a need for GT5 to download some stuff to update itself. If this occurs relax, and possibly eat a quick sandwich.
Once the game is ready to be played, will spend perhaps an hour checking out all the menus and car dealerships. Than take a quick break and start into the first license test. Will most likely consider having two major game profiles (one for casual play and one for serius play). The casual game file will be used just to unlock cars etc. as soon as possible. The main game file will be a gradual but yet progressive process of doing the best as possible in all of Sim test and events with a goal of purchasing every car. Would expect that will not get to far with the main game file over the first few days. The temptation will be to high to want to try out all as many cars as possible right away. Would expect that before the first day is over will of done many races in Arcade mode and more than likely with race cars to experience the full damage. If NASCAR is in unlocked in the beginning in Arcade will certainly give that several goes. If NASCAR is not unlocked right away will strive to unlock it in the first day or two. Durring this these first few days will try and make notes on race events etc., prize money and cars won.
Might also possibly either have my brother come down for the first weekend or would go to his place. Question for all of you out there, if you have two PS3's and two copies of the game etc. would it be possible for two people in the same house hold to race online at same time?

I'll play the game non stop for 8 hours, getting lots of enjoyment from it but noticing that 800 of the cars don't have an interior. I'll fire up my computer, visit GTPlanet and start various threads moaning about those cars not having interiors. Someone will point out that Forza 3 had them and that 5 months ago we all discussed how it was unacceptable for only 200 cars to have them modelled. I'll turn on that member saying
Then I'll go to bed crying and sucking my own thumb.

To be frank, I'm not sure I can 
Not only is it impossible to raise costs for a PS3, TV and wheel (by the time I've saved the cash, the PS4 will be out!), but video games used to rule my life. They kept me indoors, and I was just addicted.
I promised myself that GT5 would only be something to play around on every once in a while, but I just know it's going to take over my life again. It's not good for my guitar practice... hell, my guitar could use a bit of doing up parts-wise anyway.
GT5 does look incredible, and I want it badly, but it's just going to rule my life and take away from my music studies and practice... not to mention the money involved. I can't see sinking £400+ on a video game. That would be far better used in the guitar department. I want GT5, but I don't need it like I need better gear. Plus I'd only sell it eventually anyway, because I'm off to college soon and that means studying, among other things. I wouldn't have the time.

Already book vacation for November, and EJRocky study hard that guitar :-)

I'll probably install the game (if necessary) while reading the manual, watch the intro, then have a look at the tracks, then have a look through the garages. Then, I'll have a few quick races and finally, the license tests before digging into career mode.
Not gonna get too specific on which car/track to start off with. We have no idea what cars and tracks will be unlocked from the beginning.
Although top of my list is the Nurburgring 24h.

This sort of depends on whether or not we can carry over GT5
progress. I believe I read that the cars we've bought/unlocked in GT5 will be available in arcade mode, what about Career mode?If everything carries over and I don't need to do any license tests:
1. Check out car customization
2. Buy and sell a few cars
3. Run the 'Ring for a few laps to get used to the physics engine
4. Start completing races
If nothing carries over and I need to do license tests:
1. Complete all license tests
2. Run as many races as I can to get as many [free] new cars as possible
3. Mod the cars I've won to compete in harder events
4. Start saving for cars I want
