***The Official Gran Turismo 5 Thread***

Out of that list I would only consider shopto or Amazon to attempt to delivery it by release date - the others are a joke when it comes to expedited delivery...

Ive got my CE ordered with Amazon and theyve already sent an email to confirm that they will attempt a 'release date delivery'

Unless you've paid for delivery, or have Prime, I wouldn't bet on it. Taken my gamble with play for the CE.
 
Ive paid for first class though I agree Amazon and Play (only legit sources for the CE version it seems) are about as bad as each other - for the fact you can change the delivery option with Amazon has made me go with them...

I presume Play are as bad as the Hut group when it comes to preorders?

Well mine came from shopto okay however this time few people did report that they didnt get it for release, However none of you should have it as i cant have my nice shiny SE edition till xmas so its not fair :( I have a full month to wait damit!

In my experience of quite a few years of using them, I've always received games either on release day, or a day before.

Obviously though, I'll be buying from here:D:

So soon we will be able to answer the most important question...

Is Mr Latte just a huge fanboy blinded by PD loyalty, or was he right to be so confident that GT5 will be the BESTEST GAME EVAR????

Stay tuned...

Never said that, did say it would be a genre defining game though...
Yes I have great admiration for what PD have achieved in gaming, they deserve it. However they also have many flaws in their games and how they operate/promote games.

Ive played a lot LESS of GT than many guys here including ibert or others that like to argue with me.
Yet im always deemed the GT Fanboy eh.

However you or others it seems will never understand me or my interest in the technical/fun side of gaming or how I look at games. Im passionate in what new hardware brings and how games evolve or push previous boundaries. Im fed up being insulted and ridiculed but I know one thing, I will be enjoying this game.

Why Do I Look At GT With Such Enthausiam?
Theirs no reasoning for the following but its all part of my obsession and desire to enjoy racing games......
Im not a rich guy but over the period of two years have had a goal and have been working on a self mission or idea/hobby to have a cockpit that will let me enjoy racing games to the full.
One that itself is quite different, possibly revolutionary and pushes the boundaries. GT5 has been a reason/inspiration to build this and thats what you guys have never understood about me.
You have no idea the amount of time and effort I have put into this and why for me GT5 seems to be the best game to make use of it all, hence my own personal excitment for GT5.

For instance how many have had the inspiration or crazy wit to have a cockpit with the following:

Amplification
1x Sony STRDA-1200ES 7.1 - Amplifer/Receiver
1x Sony STR-DG820 7.1 - Amplifer/Receiver
1x Sony STR-DB 930 - 5.1 Amplifier/Receiver
1x SKYTRONIC SPL 1000 - Stereo Amplifer
1x Buttkicker BKA 300 - Mono Amplifer


Audio Control/Enchancement
3x Behringer Ultragraph Pro FBQ3102 - 31 Band Graphic Equalizer
2x Behringer ULTRABASS PRO EX1200 - Subharmonic Processor


Tactile Bass Units
2x Aaurasound - 50W (L/R Side Tactile)
2x Clarke Synthesis T209 - 100W (L/R Side Tactile)
2x Buttkicker Mini LFE -100W (Centre/Pedals & Surround/Seat Tactile)
1x Buttkicker BKA 300 -300W (LFE / Seat Tactile)


Speakers
5x Sony DAV S880 (F/C/R & Back Surround)
4x Sony DAV S550 (2x L/R Side Surround)
2x Sony Xplod 12" Subwoofers (LFE Audible Bass)


Cockpit Totals
9 x Speakers
2 x Subwoofers
7 x Tactile Units
5 x Amplifers
2 x Equalisers
2 x Subharmonic Processors

Additional
1 x Sony S7000 7.1 Wireless Headphones


Cockpit Achievement
Provides surround tactile immersion in conjunction with 5.1 / 7.1 audio
Utilises and mixes various hardware tactile brands to achieve a unique effect.
Multiple Behringer EQ/Processor products give increased control to the user of both the audible sound and tactile effects.
Can produce a very high level of audio and tactile immersion surpassing any professional/cockpit or arcade unit Im aware of.

* Future tweeks and enchancements may be possible during installation/final build.


You Boys Take care....
I have put up with enough arguing/petty fighting over the last couple of years...

We have good news! One of your pre-ordered items is now eligible for release date delivery and has been upgraded at no additional charge. Your new delivery estimate is:

Previous estimated arrival date: December 17 2010
New estimated arrival date: November 24 2010

Good news? :)
 
Without trawling the net, does anyone know if GT5 will have split screen? Just out shopping and had a sudden thought of dread of it not featuring one of my fav features!

99.9% certain it does. GT5:P certainly did.

Shame, imo. I thought he added a lot to the thread, just the same numptys trying to derail his comments all the time put him on the defensive a lot.

Hopefully he'll return...

Disagree personally. About half of this thread is just childish bickering with him always in the thick of it. Anyways, i do agree that if he managed to keep his lid on he did add useful information to the thread, unfortunately that seemed to be the minority of the time. For fear of again allowing this thread to be derailed i'm just gonna leave the topic be now.

[EDIT] Just had a look. Yep, GT5 definitely has split screen.
