    I did game in the late 80's and so forth. You're first sentence reminds me of my grandpa telling me about the good ole days. Guess what, back in the 80's and 90's I didn't buy or get to try nearly as many games as now. Even when I had my own money starting in the early/mid 90's. Why? Because even then, I wouldn't just waste some money on a game I haven't played.

    Anyway, it's 2010, so it's irrelevant. Sorry, but give us a single track and car and let us run a 10 mintue qualifying race. That's probably a 600mb file tops. Glad you aren't worried, but Codemasters racing games are floaty and arcady and while that's fine for XGames dirt racers and fantasy sports car series, i don't want a floaty F1 game.

    I don't want or need a demo that's represetative of the entire game. I want to know how it drives which is all that really matters in a racing game. GT5:P is my favorite racing game ever. It's "career" mode is absolute poop, it's online is even more poop, but I can spend hours shaving fractions of a second off my lap times in London driving my 05 GTi. While the career mode in F1 is looking cool, it doesn't matter if the driving is off.
    My point is just because its 2010 does not automatically mean there will be a demo, and I'll take the high road and ignore the "grandpa" comment. Yes, I'm aware of Codemasters efforts with Dirt and Grid and they're "floaty" handling models, but they never intended those games to be sim. If I recall correctly, the Toca Series made by Codemasters, which included F1 cars, was really good and not arcadey. I would love a demo for F1 as well but it's not the end of the world for me that there will not be one. Gamefly could be your friend for this one.

      This makes my decision to Gamefly this game more comfortable now.

        Ill buy it around release date anyway. I have never really worried much about demos, as they dont always represent the final product anyway. If I dont like it ill just put it on Ebay and get back a good chunk of what I paid.
