YES!

My parents are in town so I can't play it right now anyway. I was going to pick it up next week when they leave.

I played it at GT5 a bit yesterday. I think it's a good game, but not worth that kind of wait.

It's not like GT5 is the only thing Polyphony Digital was working on in that 4 years.

The slim PS3's may be different, but the fatties don't benefit from a 7.2K RPM HDD...it just makes more heat for them. No performance increase as I understand it though.

Yes, I got boned because it should have been delivered Friday but we were closed at my work where it was shipped to. But I was out of town anyway so I would have been perfectly happy with getting it Monday. Unfortunately UPS didn't make their daily drop off and everything, including expedited shipments were delayed by one day. It better come today.

Looks better than the card table I have in the middle of the living room.

That's not a glitch, that's a feature! Notice how slow the Lambo got with the car stacked on it. Somebody actually took the time to model the physics of "how does a Lamborghini perform with a supercar stacked on its roof sideways?"
