I hope sometime this year but my guess is
March 10th 2011
Wrong.
I'm thinking ~a week after black friday in the USA. So December 7th.
I wouldnt get your hopes up. A game that has already been in development for 5-6 years, whats 8 days going to do for it. Nothing. Just prepare yourself for another massive delay so you are not disappointed.
The optimistic way to look at GT5 is to never expect it. That way when its released you will be surprised.![]()
Why Tuesday? Plenty of games are released on Mondays and Thursdays and Fridays or Wednesdays.![]()
It would be a stupid and a huge mistake if Sony missed the November 23 date.
First off, the date must fall on a Tuesday, so I don't know why so many people are pulling non-Tuesday dates out of the air.
Second, Black Tuesday (November 26 this year) is THE DAY for shopping in the USA. Parents like myself, keep sale fliers from all the retailers for a few weeks to help guide us for gifts. If Sony made the Nov. 23 launch date, just think how many retailers would put the PS3 and GT5 on their front page! Think of the free advertising they'd get!
So, it's November 23, or bust.
I agree, and I think we can say 100% for sure this was not a marketing decision if they miss that date. Because it could mean big time losses in the States.
Not that I think marketing is the cause anyway, but you guys probably get what I'm saying. So, I think we can say one thing for sure, Sony will be fighting, scratching, and clawing to get their game out the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. And for me that wouldn't be that bad, since I have a couple days off work for Thanksgiving. So, I wouldn't have to use as much vacation. (only 3 vaca days left for the year)
What I'm worried about right now is the fact there is still no new release date. I don't think they will just call a date 1-2 weeks before launch.
It's already out in a parallel universe and our otherselves are enjoying it immensely.
