ahh thanks for clearing that up

Maybe, but compare the sales of Formula 1 2009 to something like Fifa 09 or Fifa 10, which release at the start of their sporting season. At this point in the calendar, there are more fans around who will be willing to by the game than at the end of there year, when the hype has long since died and fans have waiting for next years season.

It makes better sense for the company to release at the start of the year, that way they could sell more to a larger audience and give them more incentive to keep the series going.

Can't wait for Grid 2.

What kinda racer is GRID exactly and whats the differnce between it and DIRT?

The only problem is that that all changes throughout the season, so I don't know how they are going to deal with that

The main reason for the late release is to finish the game, which is probably important

DiRT 3 and GRiD 2 is good news, I want GRiD 2 next though, and I want DiRT to go more rallying, I don't particularly enjoy the buggy driving and I want a proper rally game, preferably if they took the WRC license and put it in that game so there is a much greater variety in tracks (I know there is a WRC game coming out this year)

As for F1, they want to make it a yearly game, and I am not convinced by that, I am not entirely convinced that it deserves a whole game, put it in GRiD. With NfS and GT 5, I am not sure I will be buying it

GRiD is on road, DiRT is on dirt basically

DiRT is a rally game, DiRT 2 has also quite a few rally stages, but also buggies and circuit racing.

GRID is a street racer with many many cars from Europe/US/Japan. (legal street racing btw.)

Both are somewhere in between arcade and simulation.
