Cheers people, yeah if its going to be a few days/week later I can wait but with all this lack of info on european release where GT is more predominanlty sold then I don't have much faith in Polyphony or SCEA/E/J/Sony atm reguarding GT5 as most of you have probably been cried wolf too many times now with release dates and the such.

A lack of demo is what is killing us now, as we all understand demo code <= six month old code so it would be no better than the TT demo, I feel that the secrecy of GT and the madness of Yamuchi is stretching us.

November is a long way away and we still dont have any really serious info on the game. A demo would kick a lot of interest back into the game.

Prologue was not the same prologue as GT4/3 or the other prologues im sure as the code was completely rebuilt. not just more cars more tracks as others were. A small taste would be good, 1 car 1 track again would settle so much angst amongst us - the final consumer of what we can only hope is a great product which can take us to the end of PS3 life cycle.

If this is the case then it will be the longest played car game ever I think, as GT6 will take 10 years to complete lol

Well i have a check up on the 28th and hopefully I get told when the screws come out, then I can plan a recovery for myself.

Luckily I havent bought a g25 brake mod yet, or I would never be able to left foot brake!! Not for a long, long time anyway lol!!

Oh btw the 1st car I am going to get in game if credits and Prologue cash/cars carry over is going to be an Escort Cossie MKII! Old skool rally all the way!!

I'll probably try and get a nice racing car, like a mazda 787b... Top of my wishlist has to be whatever red bull f1 car is in the game.
 
I believe Jordan made a thread just like this one...
 
Is there any disadvantage in importing the game from USA when you're English speaking citizen of a small country in eastern Europe with minor language (like Czech republic, my home country :)) that will not be for sure included in game? As we know, there will be 13 translations, so I guess it would be Japanese, English, German, French, Spain, Russian, ... help me with more please :) . But not Czech for sure. And as far as I know, PS3 does not incorporate region codes for games.

With Prologue, the situation was different, it was released in Japan first and there was a language barrier when importing the game.

Steering wheel position maybe? Not likely with 1000+ cars...

Miles an hour and kilometers per hour is easily switchable.

So I'm wondering... 💡

Well, more languages will be: Italian, Portuguese, Danish, Chinese, Norwegian and Greek.

There is only one language missing, so maybe it can be Czech...

No, it's impossible, but thanks for your hope. :)

Edit: It certainly is not possible. I made a mistake. The number of languages will be only 12, sorry (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=126823#post3812593)

Few of my questions were answered here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=128347&page=2#post3892068.

If the CE edition in the UK is way more expensive or worse in content then I'l order the US version and import it.
