It seems PCG is not keeping Tim Edwards busy enough. :D

Demo control seemed fine on my budget wheel (logitech thingymebob), although am I the only person not that impressed with the graphics? I have no idea what the default settings, beyond 1600×1050 resolution, were for me (probably too high – tearing), but actually playing it seems no different than games of 2/3 years ago. Sure, stuff like an actual 3d, reactive, crowd is super-cool, but you don’t see that if you’re playing well and not skidding into them.

It says 39,99$ for GRID on Steam and I’m from Poland.

Wow, having to pay $100+ for a flippin’ videogame? You poor Aussies. That’s just cruel.

If Time Warner goes forward with its 40 GB download limit per month, Steam games might get a little more expensive if you’re unfortunate enough to have them as an ISP. Every GB over the limit costs $1. So if you’ve reached your limit (not hard these days) and can’t wait until the next billing cycle to download a game, you’re looking at $2-8 on top of the retail price.

I’m with creamsickle and Howard on this one – this is the worst handling race game I’ve played in a long time. Having said that, it looks amazing and seems to know my name, so I might just keep plugging away at it while grumbling to myself and spamming the restart race button.

A little bird told me this game looks amazing but is a mess to play.

On the other hand birds have very poor controller skills so I am interested.

Nuyan, it’s not $60, it’s $40. In fact those British bastards are paying 7 extra dollars.

We are not paying that $7 extra for grid, we are giving them to the queen as a tithe.

Lest we be smote.

60 dollars here, too. Why such different prices when you move a bit north in Europe?
Is it because the data streams, as everybody knows, need to wear woolly underwear? I thought Valve would have been able to get a discount on winter clothes.

Well, the Royal Mail never dropped it today, so I just dropped $46.99 on it over Steam.

“Yeah, the article’s factually wrong; GRID costs USD40. The UK treated with somewhat less disrespect than usual shocker?”

It costs $60 on steam here (Finland).
