EB told me November 15. Might have been December 15. Oh well, i'll ask when i pick up GTA SA
 
Official Playstation sites are often wrong with their dates. Really, why is there a discussion about the releasedate, while it is already officially anounced on the Tokyo Game Show. December it is. Other sources just guestimate what the date could be.
 
The last GT4 TGS videos shows the release date to be in their way of writing it as 2004 12 03, this for Japan, so a December release for the rest of us seems very likely.
 
Still get mid-December for all my usual shopping places here in the UK, and now there is NO EXCUSE for delay since they cut out what was causing the delay, why is there still a dispute over the date???
 
I doubt it. Unless I'm mistaken, this is actually the first time PD has ever officially announced a release date for GT4. That said, I think they'll stick with it.
 
The problem for those in Europe is that there is no official release date. As far as I know the date of around the 14/12/04 is "tentative". That is a cause of anxiety.

I'm only really worried about a problem with the manufacture of enough copies of the game for all territories before Christmas. IF there is a prob Europe won't get it. If there isn't we probably will.
We just have to wait for a official release date for Europe to be made. :sick:
 
My guess is that the PAL release won't be far behind the US release. If there is a delay at all, it will probably be in manufacturing only, just in pressing enough discs in time. A week or two, maybe. If there is a "shortage", I'd suggest pre-ordering at a local store, so you can get in on the first run before they sell out and you're stuck waiting for more to arrive. I'll be doing that myself as the date gets closer, just to make sure I have a copy on release day. I'm heading to Best Buy on the 14th anyway to pick up the DVDs that are being released that day, might as well pick up GT4 while I'm there. Which is sad, in a way... all those nice, shiny new DVDs collecting dust while I spend weeks at GT4! :)
 
Well, if I want to live an anxiety free life maybe I should move to the US or Japan! 💡

Febuary 05? If that came from sony, that would be cause for concern. Seeing as it isn't, it's not so bad.

I wouldn't take that date too seriously. Yeah I think it's just concern. I'm guessing December. I hope

Amazon.co.uk has now changed the release date from October 30, 2004 to February 25, 2005. :grumpy:

That is a worry. I bet they've tried to secure delivery of the game for the offical release date and been unable to get a guarentee of supplies.
 
As I've mentioned previously (as have many), November was simply a "best-guess" by various stores and news sites. Sony/PD never said the game would be out in November. But they DID say it would out on Dec 14th. Hence the update... the 14th is a legitimate announced release date, the FIRST one we've had for this game.

It is indeed the first exact date, but Sony also has anounced proximate(hope it's the right word) releasedates before.
 
I'm actually hoping it comes out Dec. 26. You see, if it comes out Dec. 14, I won't possibly be able to wait a week and a half to ask for it for Christmas, so I'd end up going out and buying it. However, if it comes out just after Christmas, I can ask for the money to buy it with (as a present) - that way I can get it with someone else's money :sly:

I'd say it's another case of the now-infaous We-want-to-avoid-rude-messages-from-unhappy-gamers-if-GT4-isn't-release-in-time-for-Christmas complex.
 
Is it my obsession or is it real that begins to appear different info with the words "1st quarter 2005"? :scared:

Let's tell me i am paranoid... please... :dunce:
 
Please no, not again, we were saved from this! :scared: Yes, it says 1stQ 2005, but like what you read in the newspapers, don't believe everything you read. Like I said, they could simply be setting themselves up so that if GT4 is pushed back again they won't get abused by hordes of angry gamers. It's what I'd do, even if it made me unpopular at the time. A lot of places keep saying December 14th and I keep checking regularly.

I haven't even been here a month and already I've had enough with the complaining about the relese date, so if it keeps up, I think I'll just hit "Ignore" for anyone who complains ... which may be pointless as I think everyone is going to be frustrated. Here's an idea: play any previous GT games so hone your skills once more so that when GT4 is relesed you will be the ultimate driver ...
 
That screen shot above shows the infinity symbol that ps2 games have when they are online capable.... why would that be when it has been decied that it's not online??? Unless that 1st Quarter is referring to the online version becoming available... :)

That symbol is always there when you visit Central Station. Has nothing to do with the game.
