Hmm, the store doesn't open until 10am, I hope they have it in stock already.
Any in depth reviews out of the VR portion?                                     

Most of the tracks are locked out. You have to get to driver level 20 to unlock all of the currently available tracks. You don't carry over your progress from the Demo, so you will have to re-do any challanges you completed. I was able to jump to level 8 pretty quick through the achievements, but now I am on the grind to reach level 20. Reached level 11 tonight, and took my Viper for a spin on Brands Hatch, Dragon Trail, Suzuka, Willow Springs, and Maggiore.

So far I am a bit disappointed with the overall mode. It really feels like just a tack on. No ability to sit in the car and take it in like we have in DCVR, no options for adjustment of position as far as I can tell. You have to do a 1v1, no option to just do Time Trials or Drift Trials, which in all honesty, I would find more entertaining than 1v1. You earn miles, but no expereince or cash. Basically, it feels like an after thought.

That said, the driving is an absolute joy. I absolutely can't wait to jump back in, and try the rest of the tracks, and hop into a bunch of the cars for my stable. The combonation of GT's handling model and VR head tracking is a match made in heaven for me. So as far as gameplay enjoyment of what is available, for me it is a 10 out of 10.

On the other hand, the graphics leave quite a bit to be desired. It doesn't look markedly better than DCVR, if any better at all. Everything in the distance is a mess, the dash is still blurry, and you 1v1 opponent looks pretty rough unless they are right beside you. I do think it feels smoother than DCVR, so I am assuming it is at a higher frame rate, since VR doesn't turn my stomach I will have to get some subjects over to see if their weak bellys can handle this.

All in all, I see myself really enjoying what is on offer, but it is far from mass market ready. I think the PS4 is just too weak, and PSVR's resolution is much to low. Gonna be quite a while before we reach the fidelity of the 4K mode in VR, with full online support, and a full field of cars. VR is definitly the future, but maybe a little further off than I thought.

Quite bad that all my effort to getting gold on those challenges will be lost =[ and also my level almost reaching 20 on the demo...

Will redo when I buy it.

Strange that even thought they are limiting to 1 vs 1 against DCVR over 8+ racer it have similar graphics, worse yet coming 1 year later and from PD.
