I'll be getting the bus 20miles tomorrow to go to a real shop and manually collect a copy, using actual paper money. wish me luck.

You disgust me with your old-school way of shopping. I don't even have to leave the house, my man servant delivers it to my door for me! :)
 
New to this forum but have purchased all the GT games since.

Got my pre orderded copy from shopto this morning. Very good considering i was expecting it tomorrow.

Downloaded the updated which taken about 15 mins and then installed game data to HD which taken approx 40ish mins...the counter was inaccurate as hell lol!

One thing it said was your time and date settings are incorrect...how do i correct this...it used to happen to me in GT5P too but my time and date were correct. Be grateful if someone could advise me

Have fun playing peeps!
 
Can anyone confirm for me what happens when the game has finished installing, does it wait for a button press first or does it jump straight into the intro movie??

I ask cause i dont intend on staring at a black 'installing' screen for an hr or so but i dont want to miss anything either so i would really appreciate some info from those that have the game already.

Cheers guys and gals:tup::)
 
Just to let all you buys that ordered with play that I recieved the confirmation e-mail on Friday that it was being dispatched (it isn't part of a bundle)...just got it through the door, hope all you guys are as lucky!

I'm in Scotland by the way.

That is great news! Although i suppose it depends on how many planes, trains and automobiles it has to travel on. Just because its further to go means nothing.
 
Nope I'm looking at it that some of their paying customers have received the game today yet some other paying customers wont receive it until tomorrow. I'm not complaining that I didn't get it the day before release. I'm unhappy that some of their customers get it today and I won't.

Seriously, I could have told you this, weeks, months, years ago. If you order something they can guarantee a specific delivery date with, i.e. courier service, they'll make sure that's the date you get it on. If you order something less guaranteed they'll ship early to allow for slight delays. You can't order something asking for a specific date and then complain when it doesn't arrive one day sooner.
 
I'm just want to know what's the whole point of pre-ordering if u are not gonna have it earlier than those how buy it at release day?? SE here and still waiting.. i mean, it looks like i'm gonna have to wait till tomorrow around 1pm the earliest.. it would have been easier go to the shop as soon as it opens at 9am and just buy the bloody game.. at least i now know where I'm gonna pre-order in the future..
 
I've just been on the phone to GAME and asked if the SE will be delivered today, and they have said that the SE with the higher value being delivered by Parcel Force will be with customers tomorrow.

I inquired as to why some copies had arrived today and the customer service assistant said that the regular editions being sent out by Royal mail may be delivered today.

So, tomorrow it is.

All the best
Maz

Thanks, was wondering if my SE was going to arrive today from Game but this answers that then :)
 
I just received a sms from the store: GT5 has arrived! I'll get it immediatly after work. Looks I'm having a GT5 evening!

ps: GMT+1 here

Don't have to leave the house, some peoples post arrives at 7am, online is cheaper.
 
Just got a call from my local GameStop (EB Games) in Aarhus, Denmark that I can come an pick-up my SE GT5 today! :D

Apparently they (GameStop) recieved a phonecall this morning with the message that they were allowed to start selling GT5 a day early.

Who's complaining? ;)
 
YEAH! just gotta textmessage (SMS) from GameMania ... I can pick my GT5-SE.... YEAH!!!!!!!!

Hi welcome to :gtplanet: I think you will have to quit the game and check and update your date/time form the PS3 settings. Hope that helps 👍

Congrats to everyone else... SE guys and gals, guess after what Maz said it sucks a little. As for me I preordered it for instore pickup and was lucky enough to find out they are doing a midnight launch. Will give feedback once I get it in 12 hours or so.

Care to explain how I got my Halo Reach Legendary Edition or Black ops special edition from a courier a day early then? So you might have told me the same for those before I received them but you would have been talking out of your backside.
 
Just come home on lunch break, but game is not here. Kept telling myself it wouldnt be, but still disappointed.

Like to think that it makes delivery tomorow a certainty though, which is fine. Its still earlier than going into town afterwork tomorrow.

Loving the reverse psychology 👍
 
Just phoned PF and the GT SE's won't track until they've been delivered, which can be any time up to 6pm.

No idea if that's today or tomorrow though... hope the GAME guy was wrong!
 
dam. this install is taking forever lol.

If it's like mine it'll take ages to get down to 50 seconds then the 5 seconds from 50-45 takes about 5mins, then another 5 mins to get to 35 then it kinds spun down quite realistically to 3 secs where it sat for another 5minutes. Looks like Sony have licensed the Microsoft status bar :crazy:
 
So my CE has moved to 'dispatched soon' on amazon UK. I sure hope this gets out today before 15.00hrs or I won't be getting it tomorrow will I? Hopefully Amazon actually has some stock. How long for most people did it take for the 'dispatched soon' status to move to 'now dispatched' on Amazon UK? Its been at 'dispatched soon' for me since early this morning.
 
I got my copy, I didnt bother doing the install, I want to do it on the fly, but as soon as I get to the menu, no cursor appears, so I cant do anything... I JUST WANT TO PLAY IT, so im now forced to install it to see if it makes it work.
 
Loving the reverse psychology 👍

Haha, it was more like reverse-fake-out-mirrored psycholgy.... kept telling myself that it wouldnt be, because i thought it maight be, and didnt quite believe myself when forced myself to assume it wouldnt be here.

Im sane i promise!

Back off to work now though.... bah.
 
ive just been called up from gamestop (Aarhus - denmark) she told me i could come and pickup my game today, its been moved to this date instead of tomorrow!

thats fantastic news for me :D

whether this is something global or just something gamestop in denmark has decided, i dont know... call your local gamepusher and ask? :)
