Mine arrived from SR this morning at 8.44 and woke me from my drunken slumber....WHOOOHOOOO!!!!

Got my first A licence and bought an MX5 with my start money and now just playing around.

Didn't realise that you'd only start with £18,000 which isn't much but hey who cares.

The graphics are amazing (as was expected) and the gameplay is gonna keep me busy until next year.....right I'm off to play a bit more, enjoy it when you all get it!

I need to buy two more Wega TV's!

I've just read this on the GT3 site:

"So you think that GT3 is as realistic as it gets? Well now push it to the next level with the PS2 i.LINK. Six players can now participate in a race through the use of up to six PS2s and six TVs, or using 3 PS2's and TV's in a split screen format.

You can also allocate a separate TV to watch the race on, as if it were live. Even if you still enjoy the feeling of playing solo, you can enhance the experience by linking 3 tv's to your PS2 and creating a virtual wraparound effect!"

That might be the "Complex String" track - you have to unlock it in Arcade mode I think.

Good good! The bigger the challenge the better. But are those insane endurance races still there? I didn`t mind doing it once or twice, but doing so many endurance races was hell! Then again, since getting Moto GP, the amount of time spent doing the challenge of championships on full laps has got me used to it!

I think this could be good in a way, because I got fed up on GT2 when I used to find I had five cars virtually identical, only varying by the letters on the back, and a slight amount of hamsterpower.

At least its realistic though.

Good! Those licenses could have easily been improved from the original. I admit I never bothered getting all the golds before, but it didn`t take more than a few hours to get all licenses.

Maybe that`s why its so difficult. You can`t concentrate on the car :-)

I remember something similar before, but I can`t remember if it was a GT game or Colin Mcrae or something.

As PSM2 said, the extra cars would have been nice, but we couldn`t have waited until 2006!
