Where is XL 2.0 Disc That Was Promised????

[cpa5]

Surprised that the Shelf Date was supposed to be Jan 17.....and so far no one has any answers on where it is at...not Game stop or walmart or anyone????

Often with these re-released titles stores do not get them until they order more stock, so for the time being the old ones stay until they sell off. Not sure if that is the case with GT5 XL.

Could be that, if it is then they should include a voucher to get the DLC for people who purchase the remaining stock. Also, sometimes the date they list is when they will ship to stores, not the day they are available in stores.

 

[cpa5]

Yes but no store can even verify they are receiving any copies. Gamestop couldnt even locate it in their system to order it for me.

 

[Gejabo]

It'll be there "soon"

 

[cpa5]

"soon"

Yeah hopefully before the Mayan calendar runs out !!!

 

[glw]

The newegg.com web site states that they have it in stock for $39.99.

I buy lots of stuff there since it usually arrives next day in SoCal with standard UPS ground.

 

[JRayWRX]

Yeah, I was in the same boat looking for it in stores on Tuesday and then realizing Amazon didn't have it either.

However, Amazon did finally get it and I ordered it through them. Won't arrive til tomorrow.

A gamestop employee explained to me that Editions such as this aren't considered a new release, therefore only get it when stock is needed.

 

[themartlab]

I ordered it by amazon too, let's see when I will got it.

 

[ChoShoTamashi]

Will be picking mine up from Amazon.co.jp. Sigh, 2 more week of waiting for me to get Spec II.

 

[themartlab]

Got an email by amazon saying game is shipped

 

[Rdp616]

I don't see why ANYONE would want to buy this. Especially if you have the game already with all the DLC added..Stupid.

Never, because it will start over,

Sitting in my entertainment cabinet next to the rest of my Gran Turismo titles. Gamestop called me yesterday and notified me that it was in.

Just to have it as I have every other GT titles.

This. ^

I'm sure people who have never bought the game and people who don't have an internet connection on their PS3 would strongly disagree with you.

Also this. ^

Read my post again...I said "If you already have the game with all the DLC added"...

 

[interpunct]

My cousin bought this yesterday at my local Game Stop so I don't really see a issue here.

its on sale at Walmart saw it there today

 

[Kwicko]

Wait, what? A GT title is late getting released? Can't possibly be true.

I read it again. I even put in bold what you typed and capitalized. 'Nuff said.

I will since I can't update my game. Even if I could, or even if I had all the DLC I would still buy it to have at least a secure v2.00 in case that I burn another PS3 since the updates get so heavy that it would be impossible to download them starting from V1.00.

You should check the thread that was made before XL was announced. That thread asks if you would buy a Spec II disc if released over here in the Americas. Most people said that they would get it.

you could update gt5 all the updates .. it would take a day or so just like burn out paradise.. with its 2 gig total updates.

I've tried. The problem is that twice that I've done it, after almost ten hours it has failed resulting in a corrupted game file.

It wouldn't be worth the effort, because I don't feel that keeping your PS3 on for so long would be good for it. I already lost one PS3 due to prolonged playing.

Received GT5 XL edition today!

Buy a new router , old modems and routers start to fail in anything past an hour's worth of downloads they start to mess up the coding.

I might pick this up just for the sake of collecting it..

That is what I did. The Spec II cover looks great by the way!
