Gran Turismo 5 Launch Update…Again

You wish to remain up to speed, yes? …you enjoy a silly play on words every now and then, yes?

So here's where we stand on the great Gran Turismo caper…yeah, I'm calling it a caper because I'm pretty bored with the unofficial "updates." Anyway- firstly, not long after saying "the discs are being stamped," Kazunori Yamauchi says he believes GT5 will be on store shelves before Christmas. When Autoweek asked the question, "will we be playing it by Christmas," Yamauchi answered, "I think so." Then there are some European retailers who seem to think the same thing, listing dates like November 26 and December 15. Finally, there's Sony's own store , which says GT5 will be available "on or about 11/30/2010." Okay, so that's your update; what say you? Yamauchi and Sony are probably the best sources, and perhaps that listing on the Sony Style store is the biggest, most reliable hint. Still, there's no way of telling until the official word arrives.

GT5 will be huge when it launches. It willy really, really have to be, at this point.

Amazon has it as the 31st of December. Then again, they're good at announcing updates on release dates if it changes.

This is not news… All it does is confuse people and get psxe extra visitors/hits.

You said it yourself, the only source that matters is Sony or Yamauchi.

If this thing comes out before 2011 I'll be shocked. Seriously, they haven't even confirmed the date yet? It's already November, folks. Yamauchi's perfectionism strikes again.

i just hope it lives up to expectations!
i mean its been in development for 6+ years!
sony have been relying on it, this is there biggest series, bigger than MGS!
so if this tanks, well, there going to be feeling it for a long, long time!
id put my money on december 9 which is a thursday which is when most games release and is also when gt5 was suppose to release.

theres no hope it releasing in november, it takes a good few weeks to press the games and get them to stores so the chances of it being pressed, packaged and delivered to every store worldwide in the matter of 3 weeks.
yea, null!
plus sony just moved the competition end date from nov 4 to dec 9th from the original date, to dec 9th the date i think it will release.
plus sony moved the GT5 faceplate from the 4th the original date to december another indication it wont be out this month.
will be seeing pigs eating purple aliens and flying backwards through space before GT5 releases!!!!!

Heh, well my sister went to pick up my pre-order today, even though I told her it had been delayed, and they said November 26th is the projected release date. And you know what, unless I get confirmation otherwise, that's what I'm believing. Now, I'm on bended knee praying to Kratos (the closest thing to a god for video games) that this is correct, and also that he won't rip my head off for being impertinent.
Peace.

I have had my copy pre ordered for over 3 years now so a couple of weeks really isn't going to bother me. I will be getting it day 1 & that's all that matters to me.
