I've got it preorderd from yesasia.com. I'm not really that bothered by the language barrier, it's not like it's a RPG that's text intensive and I've imported every release of GT since GT2 and it's not that difficult to figure the menus out.
Unsurprisingly I'm really eager to have a go in the Ferrari F430 and Audi R8 and (surprisingly) the Suzuki Swift Sport. Should also be interesting to see how the tricky Renault Clio V6 will handle with the new physics system. It will defenitely be nice if we can race online though not being in Japan I don't know if that will be possible.
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune is coming out next Friday (7th) here, that will keep me busy until my copy of GT5 Prologue slips through the letterbox. The wait is nearly over!![]()
i've managed to get a shot at driving the f430 and audi r8 in gt5p at a game expo about a month ago.
A game expo in Australia had GT5P running? Or was this overseas?

yes was in melbourne. the demo had 3 tracks (fuji, suzuka and i've forgotten the 3rd but infineon is coming to mind), all the cars were identical to what is in the current Japanese psn demo except the gtr was not unveiled and there was none of the "new" cars that were unveiled within the demo. the graphics werent as good as the psn demo so i am pretty sure it was same demo as has been shown at tgs etc. earlier in the year. Also it was in japanese.

but they won't sell it, and said you can only book your copy now & pick it @ 13th
It does appear that a NA release of GT5Those interested in the US release date, it is not completely confirmed, but here's the story:
http://www.psxextreme.com/ps3-news/2255.html
While it may seem like semantics, it isn't GT5: Demo, it's GT5: Prologue. And there is no need to wonder of it will cost money, or if it will be available on disc as both are also confirmed, and have been for some time now.However, if the recent post from the PS3Mods blog can be believed, Sony has revealed a North American release date for the hotly anticipated GT5 demo: February 19, 2008. Now, we're going to search for the official word from Sony, but it certainly sounds plausible. We were hoping to have it in time for the holidays, but so long as we get it at some point, we're happy. However, we're still wondering how much the demo will cost (if anything), and whether or not it will also appear on standard Blu-Ray disc. We think it'd be a darn good idea to give this sucker away to anyone who pre-orders Gran Turismo 5 next year, so we could always hope for that. If you recall, they did this for Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction.
Unless all the cases weren't sealed and they had them opened to show the disc, then I can't see how he determined the discs were actually there.i read somewhere while browsing , a japanese guy claiming that he visted a nearby store and saw a bunch of GT5P bluray disks (behind the cashir i think) but they won't sell it, and said you can only book your copy now & pick it @ 13th
Fahrer, the info for the Asia version was taken from the Play Asia website. Rather than an official date for the Asia games, Play Asia often list the date of when they'll have stock.@STINGer71 in post #69:
where from do you get the "asia" release date? is this an official one? and which languages are implemented in the japan-version / asia-version?
any info about the possibility that in the asia-version there´s everything written in english amongst chinese and japanese, of course?

Here is the teaser trailer for the upcoming GT5trailer.
On the subject of GT trailers, does anyone have a link to a HD version of the Gran Turismo SEMA Awards trailer?
