Sony Confirms GT5 Launch Date: November 24
'heaves deep sigh of relief' We're all done now. No more rumors. No more speculation. No more, "oh no, what if we have to wait until 2011?"
Via official press release and an announcement over at the PlayStation Blog, Sony has revealed the finalized release date for Gran Turismo 5. Over the past few days, we had compiled evidence that pointed towards an end-November launch and that has proven true: one of the most anticipated titles of the generation will be available in North America on November 24. It's one of those uber-ambitious projects that should be downright epic for hardcore racing aficionados everywhere. Said Polyphony Digital president, Kazunori Yamauchi:
"Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Program!" When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with Gran Turismo 5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologize to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed."
Anybody else get chills reading that? GT5 features several of the world's most famous racetracks, brilliant high-definition visuals, an impressive lineup of over 1,000 cars and of course, what should be the most realistic physics to date. The link to the Blog above reminds you about the pre-order incentives - as if you don't already have it pre-ordered - and says they'll have "much more on Gran Turismo between now and launch."
All right, this is it. Get ready, everybody.

GT5 has got so much to live up to now, it will be interesting to see if it actually does. We all know it should, but it's a wait and see for me until I part with my cash...
Q!

G25 Racing Wheel - Hopefully getting this weekend.
GT5 - Will pick it up on the 27th.
Ben, technically speaking my birthday was yesterday, but it was Friday over there when you posted this news, so seriously, thankyou. I don't normally celebrate my birthday, so I'm reasonably certain that this is the best present that I have ever gotten. Vroom-Vroom.
Peace.

I'm so excited, my Collector's edition is arriving on the 24th!
For any of you who are waiting for reviews and scores. I have a question. Why? You will not be disappointed, the people at PD are all perfectionist all you will be doing is missing out. Do your self a favor and preorder it.
See you all on the track :D

you do realize there are other countries on planet earth right?
its not a stupid question at all, PD have spent over 6 f*cking years on this, so suffice to say expectations are impossibly high!
if its anything like prologue theres going to be allot of flaming touches and pitchforks to answer too.
that was a freaking mess!
clutch did not work, rev lights did not work, paddle shifts did not work, only way to change gears manually was to use the gearbox and that sometimes would not work either.

Hey, don't worry about not having that specific car and not all the tracks you wanted, I'm sure we'll get plenty of DLC. I'm sure if Kaz got what he wanted we will have all the tracks from all the past GTs and have a bunch more 2010-11 models. It does take a while to make a car, so they didn't have enough time to make the 2010 and diffidently the 2011 models. We'll get them with DLC.
I;m hoping for some more classics/muscle cars and the 2011 Mustangs(5.0, GT500, BOSS 302)

Red Rock Valley and Pikes Peak haven't been in GT since 2, and those car makes besides Koenigsegg have never been in GT as far as I can recall, Saab may have been, but I don't remember it ever being present. Koenigsegg has to be in GT5 because it is in GT PSP and the garage transfer function would be pointless if you couldn't transfer all cars in your garage.
@Lawless,
Must be nice to live in a territory that Sony and PD have deemed worthy of being blessed with the presence of the Signature Edition, I'm way jealous of you guys.
9 1/2 days, I can't wait!
