Damn, I somehow knew it that the Platinum was going to spoil the whole game. If that means 100h I will definitely not buy it. I am not a hardcore racing fan and GT5 has way too much content for me... Its already too perfect.

You refuse to buy a game because you can't get the platinum trophy?

That is one of several reasons, yes. It just would take an enormous amount of time. Since I am not a hardcore racing fan, I will lose interest after 40-50 hours of gaming, regardless how good the game is. Since I will probably only beat 10-20 % of the game within that time, It just wouldn't be worth it.
I bought GT 1-3 so far and left out GT4 because it was already too big for me. Now that i have a 40 hours work I just don't have the time to excessively play a racing game for months. It would be better for me to split those 200 hours into some coop-games with my wife, some RPGs, where she will sit beside me and watch the story; and maybe 1-2 Action/Adventures.
It might sound odd, but having so much content/timesinks can be a bad thing for some people. In my opinion burnout took the right step. I got the Platinum just when it began to get boring. So I stopped playing at the right time. Street Fighter 4/ GTA 4/Resistance 2 kept me playing for the platinum over that saturation point and left a bad taste in the end. I doubt that I will buy another beat'em up/Rockstar game/Ego-Shooter this generation. Especially after that bad joke of Rockstar with the platinum trophy text. I am not a big fan of "Western Games" either.
GT5 will surely be a brilliant game... but getting the Platinum is part of the game for me (and clearly not for the bragging rights, I somehow always wanted to beat all my games, even before trophies were available). Selling a game with a platinum that is almost unattainable for the average gamer is like selling a game that is not beatable. It just feels wrong for me, but that is only my personal opinion. I therefore hope that Metal Gear Solid 4 will not get a trophy patch... that Platinum would certainly be really hard, too.
