New patch is up, fixes the following: 

[Major Changes and New Features]
Friend Rankings: In Drift Trials and Time Trials, you can now display leaderboards that shows only your friends. While it was difficult before to locate your friends in the general leaderboards, this now makes it easier to compare your lap times and points with them.

[Fixed Issues]
- Performance points (PP), which is an index of a car’s overall performance, is now calculated regardless of your tire selection. You can now set performance point restrictions and tire restrictions separately when you race in a lounge.
- Fixed the issue where the performance of electric cars increased/decreased after a certain amount of driving.
- Downloaded replays from Seasonal Event Rankings can now be viewed properly.

[Other Changes]
- Cars worth over 1,000,000 Cr. (including gift car coupons) are now prohibited from being traded to prevent issues during the trading process. When lending and borrowing cars between friends, please use the car loan system.

Wait, so the game sold more than Forza Motorsport? I am damn proud of that.

Woah woah woah hold up a minute, people are selling and buying virtual cars for REAL money? Damn it people.

Huh. Good for Polyphony Digital. 
 
If I weren't hooked on Hot Pursuit right now, (the new DLC is pretty amazing) I'd probably be playing more GT5.

Just Dance was the best-selling game in Europe last year, I think. Goes to show that quantity =/= quality.

" @StaticFalconar: Bah, Europe will keep selling gangbusters and once F1 kicks back up...more copies will be sold.  It's selling faster than GT4 thus far.  >.>  Yo, gift me the X2010. "

Except that GT5 is a quality racing game.

Dude, it's Gran Turismo...it's serious business.  The online lobbies are always filled with hardcore racers and hardcore traders.  I was surprised myself by how big GT really is but since this is online, you can get a feel for just how damn big this game is to people.  It's like the Halo/COD of racing games.

Far from it. So far Forza Motorsport was the best selling racing game. Even if Need for Speed Hot Pursuit took that title I would still be proud of it. Even if Forza 4 took the title when it's released I would be happy. So, if anything, your comment would be the corniest. "Fanboy" and "corny" are 2 words that are old and overused.

Wrong! GT5P outsold even the best selling Forza game. "

I find it hilarious that people actually bought cars off eBay, but fair play to the people that sold them. Opportunism at its finest!
