Our friends down under finally have an official release date for Gran Turismo 5: November 4, 2010, as confirmed by this press release from Sony. If you know you want the Signature Edition, be sure and reserve your copy now at a local retailer such as GAME Australia or EBGames.
See more articles on Release Date.
Ebgames have now filled their quota for pre orders of GT5 Sig ED. this covers all stores Australia wide.
JB Hifi and Game are still taking orders.
Pre ordered my copy from JB hifi 10th Sept, get in quick if you have not done so already.
I’m as happy as a pig in shhhhhhh!
In theory, a midnight release would technically mean it was the 3rd of November for all my mates in the UK, which means that we’ll all be playing it on the same day!
By the way, that video rocked. I haven’t heard that song for a whole week!
:)
I thought that video would be the austrailian advert for gt5 or somthing, not THAT lod of ****
Nice song definentaly play this while playing GT5
3rd, 4th, 5th… whichever, I think it’s great. Worldwide GT week. Not sure what the problem is over one or two days. Probably some reason behind it.
I can’t say I was ever ever expecting to see that video on GTPlanet…
At least it’s closer to the weekend now. Thanks Sony australia, douche bags.
I knew this ages ago, it was posted on the EB Games website, GAME Australia website and the JB Hi-Fi website. I brought it up in the Circuit De La Sarthe post (30th August)
Great news for you guys! I suppose an almost truly global release is the least we could have expected after such a long, long wait.
i am really happy we get it close to the US release date
JB-hi_fi had it on there website 2 days ago
And yet, when I pre-ordered the game from JB’s a few days ago, it says on the receipt to pick the game up on 11th of November… I think I’ll be retracting my pre-order if this is the case
Sony sucks!
Blocking all videos in germany (even the “picture”), just because the audio is a copyright infringement!
Thank you!
It’s a YouTube video. Blame Google, not Sony.
November 4th is a public holiday where I live (which means I’ll be spending the day playing GT5 :) )
I was actually expecting it to be released on the 4th as games are usually released on a Thursday here in Australia.
Haha, you’ll be lucky if the stores are open for you to even get the game if it’s a public holiday.
What state are you in? What public holiday is it? :S
In the US, it’s Election Day when GT5 will be out.
Yay! A day one way or the other doesn’t mean too much to me after so long. Bring it on!
Cool, now I know the release date for GT5 in New Zealand.
:)
:)
:)
Thanks for finding out the due date for it. :)
WHAT ?!? The Video is not available in Germany ? THANK YOU SONY !!!
I can’t believe that video was chosen to portray Australia hahaha. No wonder everyone in other countries just thinks it’s all kangaroos and koalas here.
What…
I wrestle crocodiles and ride kangaroos…
and that’s just so I can get to work!
Yeah man I send my mail by sticky taping an envelope to a boomerang.
I’ll consider pre-ordering the Signature Edition when they confirm the full terms and conditions for the SLS-AMG Competition.
Its been nearly a month since they said that “full T&C’s will be made shortly” on the gran-turismo website…
Love the song!
Apt song choice my friend.
Yeah, this date does not make sense to me. I thought that it would be on the 3rd too, so that way it’s kind of a “worldwide release.” Because you see, if it’s released in the US on the 2nd, and Jpn and Europe on 3rd, that means they are within 24hrs. But now, it seems Australia is out of this 24hours time gap.
LOL Nice choice of video Jordan ;)
There was a short episode of driving, with volkswagen hippy van (full of zombies) :) nice driving physics for 1982 hahaha
Nnnnooooo I took the 3rd off work for nothing!!! Luckily I took a week off work for GT5, so ive still got 6 days of work free GT5 time…. still.
You’re the man! Respect
We need a list of stores that are doing a midnight launch!
You’ve been waiting for this game for all these years and now you’re complaining because you get the game 2 days after the US release? Seriously?
4th Nov down here (Aus/NZ) is 3rd Nov in the US, so it’s not as “terrible” as people are making it out to be ;)
exactly, iv been waiting for 7 years, i think i can wait 2 days
I thought it had something to do with time zones when I read it. :)
No matter what reason you give to change the release date, it still will never quite make sense to me.
btw, nice song. xD
hearing that song makes me wanna go back home to Sydney.. been in japan now nearly 2 years… I miss my city!
Happy about that release date.
That’s so cliché lol
really? well there’s no cliche in it for me man.
What a joke. Why cant we get it at the same time? Pretty annoying
You must lead a pretty serene life if you find that annoying enough to tell us so.
Why can’t people like you be happy you’ll be getting the game at all? Seriously, the game is finally coming out and you complain about a date? People are so ungrateful.
I don’t think it’s annoying. Just wondering why they don’t celebrate a worldwide release the same day ?
He’s right. There is no reason for a game to be launched 1-2 days later. And yes, it will be annoying to see your US PSN friends play GT on 2nd Nov, Europe PSN buddies playin on 3rd Nov (like me) and for no obvious reason the aussies will have to wait.
It’s not fair
Seriously come on it’s 2 days. could’ve been worst could’ve been a weak. Hell i gotta wait a week for it to get to me some of you really do complain too much for nothing.
Be happy they don’t ban the game in Australia.
Would be pretty funny if it was banned because the skid marks were too violent for our non 18+ retarded game rating system
Argh you guys don’t get it!!! EVERYTHING gets delayed for Australians. We are so sick of being shafted and guess what, our signature edition costs $300!!
It really isn’t fair how we get treated. And wtf we’re closer to Japan than Eu and US anyway! :tdown:
Dude, first there was NO date set for Australia.
Now there is one.
It’s only a couple days apart. That’s a lot better than weeks or even a month as other games in the past.
the most likely reason is because of the time difference between counties
That’s messed up
Good news for our aussie buddies. Usually games release in Australia 3 to 5 days after their release on US but its only 2 days for GT5 nice!
well remember that australia is roughly 24hrs ahead so in reality your only waiting about a day same with japan
