I'd be down for GT5.

I just wish I had a steering wheel to go along with the game, but I really don't have the room for one.


I'm surprised Amazon isn't doing the $10 credit deal. Walmart is giving $10 on Fallout:New Vegas, $10 on GT5, and $20 on Fable3.


Look again, amazon offers a $10 credit.

Gran Turismo 5 Release Update
Posted by Taku Imasaki // Producer, SCEA

We can confirm that Gran Turismo 5 will not be available this November 2nd, but the game’s release will be coming this holiday season.

We sincerely apologize to GT fans for the delay, however, creator Kazunori Yamauchi and the team at Polyphony Digital want to make certain they are creating the perfect racing experience, and we are confident that this ambitious game will exceed expectations when it launches.

We’ll have more information for you in the near future.

I got to play it briefly(there was only 1 demo station) @ PAX 2010 (one nice thing about living in Seattle) and it sure looked ready to go. I asked the booth monkey if they were firm on the RD and he assured me (for what it's worth) that the game will ship for a Nov 2 release date.

How did it compare to Forza 3 in game mechanics?

The FORZA team has to be laughing a little inside. I'm not going to be surprised if they revise it to a Spring release.

Well, that's disappointing news. Oh well, I wouldn't have had a lot of time to play it in the next two months anyways since I just picked up Halo Reach for 360 and NHL 11 for PS3.

I think all we know at this point is that the cars you've unlocked in Prologue will be placed in Arcade mode in the full GT5 game.

That's good at least. I spent a good chunk of time going through and getting all the cars in my garage, like 70-80 cars I think.

You know what's sad? I bought my PS3 the day Prologue came out, in anticipation of getting GT5 less than "a year" later. :(

Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part, but I'm inclined to think they will hold to their holiday release to take advantage of retail season and the additional revenue versus a Spring 2011 release or later.

At this point I dont even want to speculate. GT5 didnt make it for the expected 2009 holiday release.. so i dont know why 2010 is any more important

I sold my xbox and was about to buy a PS3 for this game alone. :|

Probably my fault guys. I NEVER preorder games, but I did for GT5 yesterday. Donning torch-proof flamesuit and and pitchfork-proof armor.

I'm reminded of School by Nirvana:
Wouldn't you believe it? It's just my luck.
There's no GT; no GT!

I never preorder games either. Had the preorder in my checkout cart on Amazon the other day and ended up removing it. Glad I did now.

I preordered a few days ago too, only because I had a $20 credit about to expire and ~$30 in amazon gift certificates. Oh well.

I'm sure there will be a GT5 night, but first you need to see the game in your hands. It's been delayed so much I wouldn't trust a release date until you actually buy it.

Wow, first reply to this thread. I'm impressed.
