They'll be missing out a lot if they don't hit a pre-Christmas release date. Granted, it'll probably still sell by the bucketload, but it's almost getting to the stage now where people have forgotten (or don't care) about GT now.

Im only going by google news, theres a few reports of the game going gold.
tbh I reckon they will have lost a load of sales already. I am sure die hard gamers will disagree, but not everyone can afford multiple games per month. A lot of people just buy 1 good game a month, and now COD comes out 1st so that will be a lot of casual gamers' Nov purchase.
Plus there seems to be a distinct lack of advertising for something coming out very soon (or already being pressed/gone gold).
Sorry, I did not mean to come across as rude! Links to news?

lol its ok I didnt think you came across rude.
Kazunori Yamauch: Gran Turismo 5 discs are being stamped right now.

Ill wait till it gets a formal announcement, but it looks promising. As for sales it wont matter TBH GT series have always had long legs, so it will sell well till GT6 comes out.

Is this the reason for the delay? They decided to get George Takei to hand press them and he used CDs instead of Blu-Ray disks by accident? explains a lot...

I'm kinda glad that GT5 was delayed till the holidays since I would have failed at studying during the months of November and December 
And that Jason Bradbury image could be faked ya know.....

I will prob buy this. Gives me a reason to dust off the ol'PS3 
So....they are stamping the CD's ready for shipping but have no idea of a release date?
Seems somewhat stupid to me
Yeah it is a bit - eh?? Could we all be looking at getting the game in our grubby mitts before the end of the year?
Could be..!! I'll guess we'll all have to wait and see, but its all a bit confusing.

Indeed,
[edit]nvm.. anything Anti Kaz never goes down well..
I'm not banking on seeing it until 25th December or 5th Jan, if it turns up early, that's a bonus.
