Yeah, I was pissed when the UK/European version of GT4 got delayed some weeks back until March 2005. Heck, if that date holds, it will mean that its been almost 4 years since GT3 (the last proper entry in the series, Concept and Prologue were just bonuses) and I still dont have 100% completion on that game (Roughly around the 87% mark). Some of the Advanced races just kick my ass. If I dont come first, I dont save
Skykid, yes online play has been dropped from GT4. SONY/Polyphony Digital have hinted that there will be another Bonus release sometime next year that will have online multiplayer.
By the way, GT5 has been announced for PS3 (like that wasn't obvious). For the 1st time ever, damage will be visible on the car models
