More Leaked Copies of Gran Turismo 5 Out in the Wild?
As carefully spotted by our highly observant forum users, what appears to be more real, legitimate copies of Gran Turismo 5 are sneaking their way out into the world. The first leaked disc originated from Australia – and they’re now showing up in Europe. Early copies of the German GT5 Collector’s Edition (just the game box, without the extra goodies) were posted to a Czech Republic auction site and quickly snatched up.
UPDATE: A lack of proof from the source of these images has cast their authenticity into doubt.

I don’t care if the image is real or not. That fact still remains that I CAN’T PLAY IT YET!!!! I don’t want to LOOK at the disc, I want to PLAY THE GAME.

if you look at the first picture the bar code looks like a regular bar code but if you look at the more clear third picture the little bit you can see under the disc looks like a scatter code not bar code. Whats up with that?

Sorry Jordan but i had not a news but something that i want to share: The CEO of Polyphony, Kazunori Yamauchi has declared that the Playstation 3 has restricted him when it came to developing their anticipated game, Gran Turismo 5.
He added that the software has to be created under restriction of the hardware, With each new PlayStation, the vessel has become bigger, but it’s still not enough.
The upcoming title has been developed very clean and amazingly beautiful within the confines of the limited gaming console but the developer wants to implement more in the project.
According to the Kaz, Gran Turismo 5 is getting pressed as we speak, and the other improvements will be add in Gran Turismo 6 which is currently under development.Note: i know that the PS3 is not powerful enough to handle this…i have a proof when i put the demo of Harry Potter and saw the frames fall down or in some parts of GoW3…seeing GT5 and with a PS3 who is 6 years old almost…we need more power!…by the other hand if my PS3 can do that with GT5 wow! but imagine what amazing could be GT6 :P (PS4 in about 3 or 4 years not more)

If these are real why is there no footage of them playing the game, pictures of the disk & cover mean nothing.
-

for any number of reasons actually…. let’s say for example someone on the inside was able to take a couple of photos of the product that is being produced by one of the factories…. they can’t actually take the game because they probably would get busted… that’s plausable.. and they have to remain anonymous otherwise they could lose their job ;-)

When i worked in electronics like mobile phone distribution i used to have access to new phones that weren’t going to be released to the market for 3-6months… i used to take pictures of all the awesome ones.. but i couldn’t actually take the phones from the warehouse i would have lost my job! i imagine it could be a similar situation here…

Is it possible they did NOT use 3.50 SDK but some future SDK that will come with a firmware update as the game launches? Speculation obviously.

It’s normal that the collateral materials (packaging & art) are produced prior to pressing the disks. These could be non-functional artwork samples.
@ RT Solvalu…you’re right on. The verbiage in the bullet points is very lame.
Most likely these are the product of a devious mind…much like Lady (maybe) Gaga.

have u guys realized there is between 16 and 25 days til release? and i dont care if that disk and package is real or fake, i just care if there is a real disk. just imagine, after 6 years of waiting, you pop the disc in, only to find a rickroll.

FAKE FAKE not cover professional !!!

FAKE
They spend a ton of time creating actual cars and we’re supposed to believe they then make one of the screenshots on the back of a Go Kart, yeah right.Also the “Vehicle Damage and advanced effects – Cars Smoke and spark”
^This is way too unprofessional a sentence to be legitimate, especially from using the word Advanced.
That is the kind of thing you would expect on the first title of a would-be series by a B grade developer.-
November 8th, 2010 at 5:47 am - #RTSolvalou
In fact, all of the descriptive text is unprofessional.
This is more fake than lady gaga, which is quite a feat. -

Oh no! Lady Gaga is real? I thought she was the new boogeyman. Watch out for the bugbear’s tonight, children :D

“Exciting 16 player online races.”
Yeah, being punted by 12 to 14 people is real exciting.

true, unless we add a severe penalty system online :)

If you’re fast like me then you never get ‘punted’. Speed up, chap ;)

The only time I’m playing online is with my friends in a race I set up!!! They are all fair drivers, will have nothing to do with the 3 year olds online.

@ Mr Big Balls
You seem to be over compensating for something. You’re trying a bit too hard my friend, and the more you look down – well, I guess you still can’t find it can you? -
November 8th, 2010 at 7:55 am - #LTX
Severe penalties?
If you crash, $ony remove ANOTHER feature from your PS3!

I’m inclined to agree it’s a bit of a fake – if you really had the game, you’d provide a few screenshots that prove beyond any doubt that you have it.
The text on the back of the case reads like it is from a 5 year old too.
