Where is the demo? I looked on the site, but no luck. What are they
thinking, people will blow $60.00 on a game without trying it 1st, I won't..

The same price as GT5 Prologue, which is a demo of GT5 and has sold over
a million in pre-orders alone. What were they thinking!

Well, GT5 is a game for pimply faced ***s and Arca is a sim for the
more discerning customer so it doesn't need a demo to woo customers with
spiffy graphics.

Not for spiffy graphics, but for example physics, tolerable AI, etc.

Only 'pimply faced ***s' buy ANY game/sim without a demo.
Well, in rare cases a few good peer reviews are sufficient, too.

Yea, and the GT series has arcade physics which means no buy from me.
Mind you, it is hard to judge physics racing with a gamepad.
