After watching a few more videos and reading some more reviews, as long as the demo plays well and is not a bag of crap, I will take the plunge, it looks like a fun game to just pick up and play, nothing to serious and just being able to drop in and out for half hours games or so will make a change from all the games that need hours of commitment to get anywhere like Destiny, will make a change and also have not played a decent driving game since Rivals.

Exactly my thoughts, from what people who've played it say Looks to be a decent pick up and play racer. Which is exactly what i want as I'm not super interested in racing games but like to have a bit of variety. A new proper Burnout (or a less crap Need For Speed) would be nice, but hopefully I'll enjoy the demo and then cough up the cash for the full fat version.

I think there will be 6 of us here to make a club and enjoy that aspect of the game as well, I also hope that they will add stuff down the line but hopefully not just DLC, I think the weather system will be in in a week or so and also I hope they tweak the AI a bit too as many reviews say how erratic and crashy it is!!

I think the best thing will be to wait until mid week next week for everyone to play and see what they think, then if enough are available set up a club or even two if we get twelve.

If you're intending to evaluate the PSN version you probably won't be doing it this weekend - here's a spectacular mix of apology and marketing bollocks from Sony. And this is for a title that was originally planned as a launch title, and they still haven't got it to work. Bravo, Sony:
'Hi Everyone,
With DRIVECLUB, we are dedicated to delivering a dynamic and socially connected racing game that everyone can enjoy, and along the way we're facing new challenges which we haven’t encountered as a development team before. We are seeing a lot of activity and new social behaviours right now, but unfortunately this is pushing the servers to their absolute limits.
We are sorry if you are having a hard time getting online as we know many of you are. Please be aware that the game will automatically keep trying to connect you. Once you're online, you should have no further problems during your session.
Everyone at the studio is now working hard to get new updates ready for the game servers to improve connectivity. We will be rolling out these updates day by day and will keep you informed.
In order to help all DRIVECLUB players who have the game already, we're temporarily holding back the PS Plus Edition and the My DRIVECLUB app to ease the load and traffic to the servers. This should give players a better chance of connecting to the game servers and, once the servers are operating well, we’ll be sure to let you know when the PS Plus Edition and My DRIVECLUB app will be available to download.
To our PS Plus fans, we're sorry you're having to wait longer to play, but we want to ensure that when you come on board, you get the best experience possible. Rest assured, if you've pre-ordered the full game upgrade from the PS Plus Edition, you will still get the full version of DRIVECLUB digitally, and if you can't get online you'll be able to get started offline like everybody else with single player mode as you start your DRIVECLUB tour. You’ll still be able to earn fame, unlock cars and get to grips with all of the options for playing and creating your own events and challenges - and everything you do will be synchronised with the servers when you do get connected, so you can set-up a bunch of challenges to send out to your friends as soon as you are able to join each other online.
We fully appreciate how frustrating this is for everyone. We want you to get online with your club because racing, challenging and having fun together is what the game is all about. We know that racing with your friends online is what you’ve been waiting for and we are doing everything we can to deliver that experience to you as soon as possible.
Sorry again for the difficult start. We’ll keep you regularly updated on our progress as we work round the clock to improve connectivity. We want everyone to know what's happening so please tag your DRIVECLUB friends or SHARE this message to let them know.
- Rushy'
The cynic in me is trying hard not to think this is a ploy to get more people to buy it at launch.

Not a great start to Drive club. No pun intended. A few months of delay what's a few more.

Full version is going to released on time, it's just the PS+ version so they don't overload the servers and mess it up for the full version guys.
