Wierd thing i just came to think about.
I really miss the times when i was a broke student and had to play every game i bought to shreds before buying a new one. I look at my achievements now, and i have an average of 130(!). And that really reflect how i play games.
I now own my own gamesstore and i play ALOT of games, allso to be able to give an hones opinion to my customers, but i end up playing a game for one night after work, and maybe a game sticks with me so i play it over the weekend. But this means i rarely manage to see a game trough.
So allthough i have acces to most games, for most consoles at any time, working 130% due to running a store so i can have access to the games has seriously cramped my gaming...  

"I made a sweet replica Ice Cube logo for my audi, and then sold it and made money. Does GT5 feature this kind of community store? "

There are many things i'd like to say about GT5, and it's a great game! But maybe a bit too "great"? 
To quote Jeremy Clarkson on some car he talked about. "It's like Scarlet Johanson, it's so pretty that you wouldn't know what to do with it, you'd rather just sit back and admire it". 
 
And i think thats the problem, its so pretty and well made, its Jay Leno's wet dream, but in terms of pure fun, it never quite reaches where Forza 3 took its franchise with Community services such as marketplace where you can sell cars, setups etc.  
This also made Forza more approchable for the masses i think since you could just buy a good setup, a cool paint job of a lolcat and be the most casual racer ever, in a quite passionate racing game. 
 
I think the decals in Forza added loads of personality aswell. 
 
So as of now i am really enjoying GT5, but its got a job to do. It should get some tattoo's and piercings before having a knife fight with Forza, and the GT5 that emerges will be fantastic =P 

I do like these colors actually. But wierd that they didn't release a blue bundle aswell

I like the sudden remakes of good classics. Sly Collection, Prince of Persia etc.

I have so far played about 15h of GT mode, used map editor etc. 
  can try wo awnser: 

• How many cars total are already unlocked?  
  Arcade mode? Dunno... :(
• GT-TV up yet or is it having the same locked until launch deal?  
  Not up yet.
• Damage on in arcade mode or is it just for campaign?
  Not seen any damage so far. Allthough i can "repair body" in the GT Auto shop. It might be that damage doesent show.
• How do cars handle compared to other games rather than older GT games?  
  I think i'm best of comparing it to Forza 3. As of now i feel that the cars in forza are a bit more predictable and oversteer is easyer to handle.
  Countersteering in GT5 is of now my biggest problem where the car har a 50/50 chance of spinning randomly even with very light countersteer.
• You up for GT Mode and letting us know what's up?   
  The game in general is good but there are absolutely things in Forza that i miss, say
  Leaderboards (looked alot, but havent found any yet)
  Marketplace
  Car Damage
  Real penaltys for crashing into walls or other cars. As of now it doesent matter...
  
  Allso i found that on a few ferrari's the shifting animation is stuck in a infinite loop, and when coming in to the first corner at some races, if you are at last place and therefore see all the other cars framerates get really bad.
  
  But dont get me wrong, its a great game.

I bought this game for my GF who is playing it on a European PS3 60GB. She says that she can't get past the "enter name" screen cause the start button doesent work. Is there just a button on the screen that she fails to see or is this a issue?

Agreed. Aurora feint and Maze finger are so far my two favourite games.
