That's the thing, it will not be a MAJOR store at all. It has to be a very small unknown non-chain type store (owned by a 'mom and pop') who are willing to sell the game early (break the street date) in order to get your business.

ah right, i cant think of any small store that would even have the game in stock..

One more thing I will add to my impression on page 50 is that the entering pit road part is done very well. I love that you have to meet pit road speed before entering otherwise you get black flagged.

On another note, they need to change how the whole pit options are done. You have very little time to choose what you want but on top of that you have to fill up this meter on the left if you want a full tank of gas. I think it should have been the other way around. The default would be to get a full tank of gas and if you want less you click it down.

I can not tell you how many times I have come down pit road, made some adjustment to my car and came out with no gas. Now, I do the gas thing first which takes valuable time away from all other adjustments. It is a MUST fix.

Lastly, I will say that when a caution flies don't spend too much time watching the wreck if you intend on pitting. You have to hit the pit now button right away. It has happened to me multiple times that I simply do not pit because I am so into watching the replay of the wreck, that I don't hit the pit now button.

No force feedback at all? Hmm that's interesting.

Blue talked about great feedback from the wheel but he was playing with the Logitech GT wheel (I think) on PS3.

Yeah I had asked Dave on twitter about my wheel and if it would work with the game. He told me it would work but was not specifically tuned for the game. I know the g25 and g27 wheels were specifically tuned. I think that is why BLUE is stating how awesome the handling model feels with his wheel. I will be getting my PS3 copy on Tuesday and will definitely try it out for comparison.

Also, it is my understanding that the Porsche wheel much like the Thrust master wheel were released earlier this year and I think they may not have time to specifically tune them for this game. I am sure though that if enough people complain it will get patched in if it hasn't been already done with the day one patch. We have to wait and see.

Well he is playing with a Fantech wheel, which may be the cause of this. I am very happy to own a Xbox wheel for the 360 which I feel will be fine and have alot of force feedback. I can tell you that FF helps me keep my car straight as I can feel the car more with it. I do not, and will not use a controller no matter how good it feels.

Can anyone tell me how this compares to EA's miserable attempts? Where would you compare it as to Nascar 09?
