GameStop's New Date For GT5: November 1
See Full ImageThe saga of the unknown but much-discussed Gran Turismo 5 launch date is often frustrating, but we might finally be zeroing in on the grand finale.
Ever since the game got pushed out of its anticipated March date in Japan, we've been hearing conflicting evidence concerning the new date. However, if you simply stick with what you've heard from Sony and Polyphony, all signs point towards this fall; furthermore, Sony boss Peter Dille has said the game will most certainly release before the year is out. October is the popular theory right now and although it appears to be little more than a placeholder date, a reader tells us GameStop has a new launch date for GT5: November 1. That fits with the albeit vague information we currently have, and it would be good timing for the holidays, too. With the likes of Heavy Rain and God of War III already available, Sony could definitely use a huge, high-profile PlayStation 3 exclusive for its holiday 2010 lineup. And we're not sure if the final version will boast compatibility for 3D and the PlayStation Move but in all honesty, we really don't care, anymore. We just want the game.
There's little doubt that GT5 will disappoint but the fans have been salivating for quite a long time now. So let's hope late-October/early-November is indeed realistic.

You're damn right we do! I understand the creater (can't remember his name) is a perfectionist and is never satisfied but what he may find unacceptable, we might find acceptable. In all honesty I love all the GT games he's produced, but the dude is starting to get on my nerves, reminds me of a woman, never satisfied.
No matter the release date, WHENEVER it finally releases, it'll be day 1 purchase (the whole reason I bought a ps3). GTPSP was day 1 and I have ALL the cars ready to go to transfer to GT5, so i keep waiting till that day, that wonderful, bright and shiny day.

GT5 won't be going head to head with Halo Reach, but from a console standpoint, both Sony and MS will be using them in an attempt to sell consoles.

Halo Reach competes with average games while GT5 is in a league of its own

Livery editor and a auction house do not make a car simulator.
Come to think of it, either does permanent auto-steering, auto gear ratios, and a broken car class system.

I've never played the Gran Turismo series so I'm definitely interested to see what the fuss is about.

It truly is where the game can maximize both itself and the ps3
I see GT3-like numbers
Anyway, it'll be here soon

I hope they finaly release it.
We don't need 3D or move.
All GT5 needs is a steering wheel, shiter,clutch brake & gas pedals nothing else.
I think most hardcore sim players will prefer to trade the move & 3D option for an optional platform that simulates the cars movements in which you could mount a seat with the steering wheel.

You said shiter.
Are you planning on playing this game in the bathroom? I know it was a typo and I know you meant shifter but that is one funny typo. Thumbs up to you my friend.

GT5 will without a doubt be the biggest launch on the PS3, and I can already see a lot of Wii's and 360's being traded towards a PS3 GT5 bundle.
The number of customers who have asked me whether it's out yet is unbelievable!!! I knew GT5 was popular, but I didn't think there were THAT many die hard fans of the big racing game!!!
