Anyone else picked this up yet. It's been out for awhile but I figured I'd get it. Very impresive visuals. I was able to transfer my licences and 100k credits from my GT3 save data.
I have it at home.....the simulation/realism is by far more difficult to master than in GT3. Graphics are awesome, and gameplay is great. The "physics" in this game are far more realistic than any other sim-style racing game i have played. Forza Motorsport(X-Box) has great graphics too, although its way easier to handle the cars, being similar in control to GT3.
When/if any of these uber cool racing sims come out for the PC I will start trying them. Until then, I am stuck with NASCAR racing 4. While fun, it gets a bit boring driving around in circles.

How is the racing? Is it more racing and less setup or more setup and less racing? Any sim that is setup dependant, I find tiring. I would rather race than spend hours trying to get just the right setup.
I preordered it and was playin it the night it came out. Awesome game, though lately I've been playing more Forza than anything (online mode rocks, pity GT4 doesnt have one).
I'm a big fan of arcade racers, so I find myself more interested in the next Need For Speed entry (Most Wanted) than Gran Turismo, even though I have a ton of appreciation for the amazing technical merits of the GT series. Fantastic graphics.
Yeah, I'm planning to exercise my THQ discount to get Juiced, hehe, along with Destroy All Humans.
I just haven't quite decided which version to get. I'm seriously contemplating purchasing an Xbox because all of these games are better on it (including my own). On the other hand, I already have a PS2 and I wonder how long the $149 price of the Xbox will last. It could just as easily fall to $99 next week as the Xbox 360 approaches. This is also presuming the Xbox 360 either has flaky or no backward connectivity.

[spoiler]Yes, but if you have a fast enough car you can B-spec the Nurburgring 24-hour enduro and win a Formula 1 car, which you can either keep (since its the fastest in the game) or sell for 1.5 million.[/spoiler]
Thats what I did. I already got the F1 and all of the fastest race cars(including the BMW V12 and the Pescarolos), so I stopped playing, unless I wanna make some more photos.
