I've got a 46" 1080p Samsung and my cousin is picking up the game for me so it'll be ready for when I'm home from work. Can't wait to see this beauty.
@OP
I've commented already without adding anything to the topic and the thread has been entertaining. I'll chime in with my impressions of GT5 in the next few days. But for now I'd like to comment on the situation regarding GT5 vs Forza and the flame war incited by those who really don't have much more to cling onto in their sad, unfulfilling, unaccomplished realities.
Fact: Both games are incredible overall packages
Fact: Both games are easy on the eyes
Fact: Both games contain a lot of content
Fact: Both teams have put their blood, sweat and tears into these projects and should be commended, not humiliated and have their efforts trivialized by a bunch of twats that can't tell a twinkie from a ding-dong (I know this doesn't make sense but I thought I'd throw in some funny sounding words to not sound too credible 
)
Can we really ask for more? Those of us who are simply sim racer fans will enjoy the heck out of both games. We'll like some things more in one game and other things better in the other.
From what I've played of Forza 3 I find it to be the best racing sim I've played thus far. It's the first game where I can actually feel out car distances and speeds and act accordingly as I would in real life to avoid accidents. Are there better sims on the PC and PS3? There very well could be. Am I a noob or idiot for liking Forza 3 more? Nope. Anyone who thinks so isn't worth my time. Seeing many comment that GT5 has strong sim elements that rival (and to many surpass) Forza doesn't get me annoyed in the slightest. Sure I like Forza and tend to favour the 360 but knowing that there's something possibly better that I could experience only makes me excited. I want to go out and buy a good wheel now for my PS3.
Just enjoy the friggen games. Anyone expecting everything out of one game deserves to be disappointed. If you have such a high standard for a product, you should live by the same standard of intellect, respect, and credibility (ie. not flapping your gums like the rubber around a rip on an inflated balloon).
Having got that out of the way, GT5 and Forza both experience the same kinds of graphical inconsistencies. Both are pretty good looking games (astounding when you consider how much content there is in either). While racing both have issues and don't look good as press made it appear. The replay and photo modes/menu models look incredible only pushing the previous statement to further truth. If you want "OMGZZZ" graphics go play NFS and Dirt on PC. I find it sad that as the gens have come and gone, people still can't just enjoy the progression we've made and how beautiful these pieces of tech really are.
