    I will probably pick this up. A friend always talks about how great the first Grid was.

    I'm really looking forward to this game, but these store-specific pre-order bonuses annoy me. I don't even live in America, how am I supposed to get all of the content? Will buy it either way, but it's still kinda ridiculous.

    Not fan of locking circuits to preorder exclusives, but I'm still looking forward to the game.

    sweet, after the first one this is a must buy, even met some cool people playing the first one online. im excited for this one, hopefully its still less involved as GT5, im not exactly a gear head, so gt5 can get to be a bit much for me.

    Man, I loved the first one.  I'll preorder at Gamestop then, those are some sleek vehicles, and I was never a fan of Indy cars or the Mercedes-Benz brand.

    Hmmmmn, some very different offers here. Love the flame spitting GT3 MP4, and the GT-R is a must have... but the discounts for upgrades sounds very enticing, depending on specifics. How much of a discount, any restrictions? Definitely going to be a pre-order I pick up... but from GameStop or Amazon remains to be seen.
