This game is out today. I picked it up, and have been fairly impressed. The frame rate is solid; with a few exceptions like the hairpin at Melbourne.

The cars do have a kind of "floaty" feel, more reminiscent to me of NASCAR Racing 2003 than the EA F1 games, but definitely worth getting for anyone who has been waiting 3 years or more for an F1 game.

Thanks for the game impressions. Check out Speed's official racing game hub, Game Garage. Would love to see this post in one of the GG blog or forums.

We're trying to create a single headquarters for racing game fans, complete with our own forums, blog posts, news, reviews, etc.

This weekend I saw the Wii version of F1 2009 at Gamestop. I know that you are going to have to import the version for PS3.

Does anyone know of a source to get it from?

F1 2009 is only on PSP and Wii. F1 2010 will be available on 360 and PS3. Expect that around March 2010. I'm pretty excited about it, the racing games developed by Codemasters have been excellent the past few years.
