I have read a lot of people didn't care for the demo, but I loved it. I just paid off my pre-order today and got a free t-shirt for pre-ordering at gamestop. Don't hate me from buyig from GS... it's the most convenient for me and I don't trade in my games.
It's too bad I'll only get a solid week in before MGS4 though.

Me is buying GRID. :bow2

ME
:bow :bow :bow GRID
-
FUCK YES. :hyper
Unfortunately I'll be a week or two behind because I'll have to wait for the US version to get here to Australia. :(
I'll just have to keep playing the demo endlessly.
-
I still haven't cheked out the demo, but this is a kinda/sorta follow-up to dirt, isn't it? So I'll say probably buy.
Very almost definitely possibly.
-
Even though they're slightly different genres, I'd say if you liked DiRT, there's a pretty good chance you'll like GRID. It gets adrenaline flowing to a similar degree.
-
i am down with this :hyper
-
On a whim, I went to my EB to see if I could get the game early. They had my copy sitting in the shelf behind the register. Can't give it to me until Tuesday!!!!!!!! :maf

I'll buy it, probably not right now though. It's pretty much the racing game I've been waiting for, but I might wait until I can find it used. Money is scarce, and I can't justify burning more of it on games at this point.
-
I enjoyed the PC demo, I might get it if it's cheap enough on Steam and I'm in the mood. I'm curious about the DC track.
-
Paid off my preorder on Wednesday. I also got the shirt.

:( Sorry to hear that - on the upside you might find it pretty el-cheapo pretty quick.

:hyper That must be a pretty kick-ass shirt.

I go the shirt too. had to wash it before I wore it though, It was wrinkled as hell.
-
I'll add all who posted they were getting it to my PSN friends list. Should we try to make this Tuesday "GRID Night"? Any takers?
I could start around 8PM EST.
-
Aw, what? All you people are getting it for the PS3? I'm getting it for the 360. :(
-
me on 360, but i don't have a gold XBL account. :-\
-
Yeah, 360 here as well.
-
So switch your pre-order and come play with us. :P :D
-
360 for me
-
Point to Point racing? :hyper
this should rule
-
Mupepe, which version you aqcuirin'?
-
ATTN BILDI
Allegedly the Asia NTSC/J version is region free, and only AUS$50 from play-asia. all the codemasters stuff is region free, and the PAL rip is region free too
-
I'll buy the PC version, but seems like precious few of you guys will get this version... :-\
-
Someone told me that Team Orange is available in GRiD somehow; either as an alliance or unlockable cars; were they just yanking my chain?

there's a drift event in the demo for team orange.
-
Neato. I'll have to try the demo once my 360 comes back. Thanks!

Ooh, quite tempting. Thanks for the heads up mate.
Have you ever got Asian versions? I haven't bought any yet (I get US versions) but have read that they frequently come with English instructions and are often just the US version anyway.
I'm awaiting confirmation from somewhere that the US version is region free (we all know it will be but just in case...) and then I was going to order from cduniverse.
Now I'm "day one", probably :hyper
Still have PGR4 to play through, which is the main thing keeping me on the fence, but Touge is bound to be fun, and demolition derby online should be a hoot.
I was reading about the Pro Touge the other day where you can't contact the other vehicle at all. I was definitely :hyper
-
I bought the Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 Asian version which was just the US version.
-
Thanks, I'll keep an eye on Playasia. I'm not terribly bothered by non-english instructions, but it would be nice to have them.
-
MY Fucking gamestop didn't get GRID or NG2 in today. WTF!!!!! :maf
-
I ordered from PlayAsia with express shipping. Hopefully it'll be here by the weekend. If not, it'll be here on Monday, which I have off. :hyper
-
Mupepe, which version you aqcuirin'?
360 version.
and my gamestop didn't have it today either. :(
-
For the last time, unless it's crap that's sent out early, like Halo and Madden and hardware - it's almost always the day after the release date.
-
Hey Willco, can you repeat that, please?
-

This is the first time my pre-order wasn't there on its release date. My store didn't have NG2 either but there are still people who bought it elsewhere today. There are people who also picked up GRID today and are playing it. As a rule, if you pre-order, it should be there on release day. Everyone else should have to wait a day later. :P
-
mine has shipped!
-
Where's the Steam release? Isn't there supposed to be one?
-
This is the first time my pre-order wasn't there on its release date.
Dude, I'm a Store Manager. 90% of the time, product comes in the day after. If it's something GameStop thinks it can make enough money off of, they'll ship it out before hand. I've worked in several stores in one of the largest regions in the country that is also CLOSER to some of the direct ship warehouses than other stores - I think I know my shit.
I am sure there might be some other retail locations that got copies today, and maybe a few select areas around certain national warehouses that received copies today, but for the most part - it doesn't happen.
-
Dude, I'm not calling you a liar. I'm just telling about my experiences and how this time was different. Maybe it's a good thing. It has come to my attention, by unnamed forces, that I don't have time for gaming tonight.

Int'l shipment release
ALEXANDRIA AU
OMG MY COPY OF GRID IS IN SYDNEY I COULD GET IT TODAY :omg :omg
-
:o When did you order it?
I ordered yesterday with UPS and it has shipped out from Play Asia. It's a long time since I ordered from Hong Kong (since Lik Sang shut down), but I recall UPS was always just a couple of days.
Edit:
Jun 04, 2008 13:08:00 SYDNEY PACKAGE DATA PROCESSED BY BROKERAGE. WAITING FOR CLEARANCE
:hyper :hyper :hyper It's already in the country. This means I should get it tomorrow.

-
are you in sydney? I wonder if I'd be lucky and get mine this afternoon...
i usually order FedEx or UPS for new releases, if I'm buying something older I'll get the 5-10 day shipping.
-
I'm up in Toowoomba, 150km from Brisbane. So it'll be tomorrow I hope.
I reckon there's a pretty good chance you'll get it this arvo.
-
i hope so :hyper :hyper
i think tomorrow morning is a better chance though
