FFS, it's delayed again:

Via the official PlayStation US Blog:

We can confirm that Gran Turismo 5 will not be available this November 2nd, but the game?s release will be coming this holiday season.

We sincerely apologize to GT fans for the delay, however, creator Kazunori Yamauchi and the team at Polyphony Digital want to make certain they are creating the perfect racing experience, and we are confident that this ambitious game will exceed expectations when it launches.

Expect this delay to apply to all regions around the world ? I will update this post as other official sources continue to update for Europe, Asia, and Australia/NZ.

Alright ive had it, somebody give me a bat cause i'm going to japan to smash some faces in.

hang on, i'm coming with you.

Can't believe I took November 3th to 9th off for this yesterday !!!

That's actually what ****es me off. If it was summer, fine I would go out and do something else.

But begining of November in Montreal, it's cold and it can snow.

so what do you guys are going to play then ?

Probably anything that supports PlayStation Move, as I'm picking it up tonight. :)

Also, Rock Band 2, as the stockpile of Microsoft Points I ordered turned up today and have been redeemed, so they'll be going mostly to DLC for that. :p (With the slight exception of exporting the LEGO Rock Band songs to RB2)

Am I the only one who's not getting p'ed off over this delay? It's still coming out this year. At the most, it's a seven or eight week delay. We've officially waited 231 weeks already (basically, since E3 2006, when it was first announced as "Vision Gran Turismo"), or 4 years and 5 months, so surely a few extra weeks of waiting won't kill you?

No but it's annoying as hell and is upsetting when they've finally pinned down a date and then move it again.

Some people take time off work, we pre-order, we plan ahead some times and we look forward to game releases like it's Christmas. Imagine telling your kids Christmas was moved "a month, you'll live".

It will when ive just spent ?40 on a game i thought was coming out in a few weeks time, i could have put that towards another game, i cant be bothered faffing about cancelling the order, then waiting for the refund to go onto my card.

You are not the only one that is p'd, but I am not one of them. It is what it is. I will get it when I get it.

This had to be in the works for some time now. No way you can delay a game 17 days before release. It has to take at-least a month or more to get the game to production and burned to BluRay and then sent to distributors. Either something major really did happen or the 2nd Nov release date was BS from the start. I am ****ed because I went and bought a PS3 just for this release. Once a release date was set I committed.

like I said, yesterday I took November 3th to 9th off. That's what ****es me of the most.

Some people are saying it's a marketing delay, because the game IS complete but was going to be release at the same time as kinect and black ops. They knew in advance they were going to delay the game. Come on it's supposed to be manufactured already and ready to ship. You can't delay a game less than 20 days before release like that.
