According to emails I’ve received from retail employees around the world (and this Signature Edition unboxing video from GAME), shipments of Gran Turismo 5 are already being delivered in preparation for Wednesday’s big launch. There’s even widespread reports that one store in France – which I won’t name – has informed its customers they’ll be able to pick up their copy today (Friday), but we’ll have to wait and see if that pans out… For now, check out this batch of more than 750 copies of GT5 delivered to a store in Canada. Thanks to Anthony for the pictures!
I have just clocked it
Im calling fake
lmao
Tried going to Meijer and Walmart today saying “I think GT5 comes out today. Do you have any in stock?” Didn’t work. Oh well! It was worth a try. Will have it soon anyway!
Psshh, im not buying this, this is a stunt to keep us holding on just a little longer so PD can add 4 more skykines. You watch, monday we will get a another delay….Forget this, im going to play FORZA, im skiping this game altogether. Maybe ill pick up GT6 in teh 20$ bin.
Does the C in Bob-C stand for what I think it does? Go find something better to do than saying stupid **** on a hardcore site about a great game series. Just go away.
my GAME store is in gallowtree gate, leicester uk. thought that may help someone!
Peace out.
Woohoo. Opening at 11 :-) I’ll be there. Leicester FTW
:-)
At around 10.30pm this evening, I’d just received an email from play.com in the uk saying that my copy of GT5 has been posted (i’d pre-ordered) saying that I should get it in 3-5 days and now I am concerned that I won’t be getting it on the day of release. I know my GAME store is doing an 11pm opening on the 23rd.
Now I have to endure a whole few days of stress! I hope that I get it for tuesday am.
Peace out.
In my country it will be the big MIDNIGHT LAUCH it’s very cool :)
I just got an email from Gamezone (Norway). I won’t get the game before the 25th! While several stores in Scandinavia already have it in stock! Arrrrgh …
It sucks bro.. i Pre-ordred my GT5 at Elgiganten, they wont send them before release ( and they got them in stock ), even though some stores already send some with post…
lambo, you’re a lucky man hehe :)
THIS IS JUST A BIG TEASE!!!!!
i work in GAME in london we opened up a signature edition this lunchtime it just amazing.
when do you guys normally dispatch your games as i have had a SE edition on preorder since august. any chance i will get before wed?
zomg they really did use a picture of a go kart on the back of the biggest car driving sim in the world, fail.
In france there is at least 21 stores that are selling it already (legally).
There is a website with a map in france that’s showing the stores that had already put GT5 on the shelves.
Oh…here in Spain Game is so damn slow!…they don´t have stock by now. Maybe this monday or not…(i preordered signature edition).
I think the discrepencies come from the difference between the SE; the CE and the normal version.
And I believe the game in the picture above is the normal version
Yeah me too. But i told only what is happening to me with my order. They haven´t any yet. But it says that they send me an e-mail when they have it at the store. I hope i don´t have to wait more than the release date cause i´m traveling friday afternoon…(26)
Am I the only one noticing the boxart color discrepencies between these copies and the leaked copies? Leaked copies had the SLS on the cover in silver, whereas the SLS on these copies is red.
the signature edition comes in a monochrome silver color
The standard edition comes in a red color.
So the picture above is for the standard one.
I won a copy in the Subway Fiery Footlong contest. Hope it arrives on launch day!
Overheating – nice plan! I pre-ordered the CE from Gamestop, with next day delivery. Hindsight I should have requested in-store delivery, but I’m not about to risk it getting botched by calling in to make the change. Heck, I am also thinking about calling my local store and if available early, I’ll go buy another copy while I’m waiting for my CE. Or, perhaps I can find some adult responsibility and just wait for my CE to be delivered! Nonetheless, smok’em if you gott’em!! Peace.
If someone steals this game, does it count as grand theft auto?
Quick, someone go get philosoraptor.
I just called my local Gamestop to ask about the release date. He said there is no street date assigned to GT5 so they are allowed to sell it as soon as they get it in. That being said, he doesn’t expect to see any copies until Tuesday at the earliest, as they do not get shipments on the weekends. So, I will be blowing up phones till I find a store with a copy.
I’m going to try to bribe my local gamestop into giving me my collectors edition early!
Local GameStop isn’t even talking about shipments… -_- Gotta wait until the 24th…
I was told by my local Gamestop that no midnight release either because its before Thanksgiving or something like that is what he said.
Wow!! 750 copies for Canada?!? That’s like 3 copies for each person in the country!
Thanks for providing proof of your idiocy..
Thanks for providing proof of your utter lack of humor…
Now get back in your igloo and don’t turn the stove too high or your house will melt.
It would have been funny with any other username..
but when you have Canadasux as your username, then it is just insulting.
I second idlestation. In fact, this could be considered flaming/trolling, which is obviously not allowed on the site.
The heat coming off our Playstations working at 95% of it’s processing power will be just enough for us to keep us cozy.
Haha. That’s the spirit. It’s just jokes. Even the username, canadasux, is a joke between some Canadian friends and myself. *GASP* I have friends from Canada. Oh noez!
stop arguing ay!
Just west at my local GS where I preordered SE.
The guy show me my signature edition that they received today.
He told he cannot give it to me until 24. Just if any major competitor starts to sell before 24 they will too.
Right now, he told me standard edition is not arrived yet. Forgot to ask about CE.
Presumably minor shops starts to sell as they got it, maybe on Monday or Tuesday.
Did they forget to put the “steering wheel capatible” icon on the back of the game? I know its obvious for this game. This is awesome! it is finally coming out!!
who in the US has received a copy and from what store?
Southern CA, USA – I have been calling around as of today (I’m unemployed). Tried K-Mart (based on what I’ve been reading certain stores have received them), however my local K-Mart does not have it. Same is the case with my local GameStop, BestBuy, Walmart, Frys, and smaller privately-owned store. Got my bicycle tires pumped up and am ready to ride up to 150 miles should I be able to obtain it before Wednesday the 24th :)
O_O…so many copies!!
I m in France and i made a reservation for tomorrow 20th of November!!!!!!
GT5 WILL BE IN MY HANDS (andPS3!!!)TOMORROW MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh man!!! you are lucky…i am next to you in Spain and preordered my Signature Edition but still no news here. Enjoy it.See you on track!
Oh I’m sooo jealous now
Get with it GameStop! I need this to ship BEFORE the 24th so I can play at home over turkey day!
Wouldn’t surprise me, I got mine SE today, unfortunatly I was at work so I have to go to the postoffice to pick it up, wich I can’t do until monday, but my retailer got their copies wedensday as that was the day they shipped it.
//WhiteWolf
well, all i can say is mine better not be damaged ..
Based on comments about their damage modeling, I’m sure your copy won’t have a scratch on it :p
In all seriousness, I’m looking forward to it.
omg i cant wait to get my signature edition out of GAME!
Friend just got a copy from a K-Mart in his town (he’s 30 miles away from me). Gonna call my GameStop and try to convince them to let me buy it early :D
Let us know if you have any luck with that. Are you in the US?
Why not go to that K-Mart?! If I would be less than 600 km away from a GT5 copy I’d go. Even with my bicycle.
Might try the same thing today if I can keep my excitement to a calm level…
Well, my local K-Mart said they won’t be doing, and GameStop won’t pick up their phone, despite me calling once every hour. And yes, I’m in the US.
I need to know if any Game store’s in London will be doing a midnight launch any info will be very helpfull thank you.
Play this now Motorsport has now gone into the off-season
– good timing with the release, really.
Yes, the season is over. Sebastian Vettel is F1-champion and Sebastien Loeb is WRC-champion for the 7th consecutive time.
No, GT1 is still on. You can catches all of the races on GT1world.com
Good news.
I preordered signature edition from cdon.com. I got an email yesterday that it was sent from their warehouse. So i will get it today or tomorrow. Cant wait.. Btw. the warehouse is in sweden but only like 300km away…
Guess you live in DK, SE or NO then, as I has ordered the same place, mine was delivered today but as I wrote elsewhere – I was at work :( so I can’t pick it up until monday.
//WhiteWolf
Just got a text from my retailer, my copy is in the mail.
Anybody going to be stupid enough to go rob a store for this?
So much for Canada never getting anything. lol
AWESOME CANT WAIT but one question so now if i go ask for the game will it be available? or is it already availabe but retailers cant sell it untill nov 24?
For me i will have my copie tomorrow morning at 10 am but that is in France i don t know for you. Sorry
ooh, les Français!
Cmon, Give it Here!
as usual the US version of any sony game package is neat, got my CE preordered along with the UK CE for the extra artprints and the dynamic theme :p
You’ll note that the back of the box isn’t the same as the copy that Tekken had on the forums.
can you get a copy before the release date if you work in a big store like sears?
My present. :)
Ive just recieved an email from game.co.uk telling me they are taking my payment now and my signature edition is with the delivery company ready for launch day.. Now it feels real! Waited so long for this! I stumbled across gtplanet what must be years ago now and have checked the site every day since for my daily update on GT. Keep up the good work jordan!!
Same here!, can’t wait to crack open that box :-D
Can smell the leather of that Mercedes SLS lmfao
Fake Copies….
NOT!
Where is MY COPY ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRg.. oh sorry.. that’s great :D
Ohh… give me one of those boxes full with GT5’s :D
Definitely no such luck at major games stores in the Sydney CBD today. I did the walk around at lunch time and pleaded my early release case and got a stern but polite ‘please come back on Wednesday morning’ to collect your pre-order. Fair enough.
I think SE pre-orders should be allowed to go collect their copy today. :oD
you got the 100% right!!
Why do you think that?Just because you bought a higher priced version?If they were going to do that then they would have to sell to everyone which they aren’t going to do.
This is Micromania stores i think.
“Allons enfants de GT5,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé…!”
Mine is collector for Monday.
Happy drive every body…!!!
Merci beaucoup, MANU
Vive l’amitié Franco-Allemande!
Yes vive l’amitié Franco-Allemande Bernd.
Ein Prosit, Ein Prosit, der Gemütlichkeit !!!
jes when i read this first i thought it said delayed, woop :)
Nice! I noticed the back back cover is slightly different
Now we have to wait patiently, or try and trick retailers into thinking today is the release date hmmm…
It is time…
\o_O/
[No reply, wierdly can’t post normally?]
Jordan should keep up visitors record chase during GT5 release, maybe GTP will close up 10k visitors. :D
YEAH!
Viva la Resistance! :)
I’m so glad that the ugly blue circle doesn’t appear on the NA copies of the game!!
Canada, eh? I might just revisit my local Best Buy store.
Being in the belly button of America, I wonder if our shops will have them in by Tuesday, or as early as most other places, this week?
Hmm… might have to swing by for a friendly chat…
This is just beaut! Danke schön!
Aww man… looks like in Brazil we´ll be able to get our copy on monday. :|
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
=D
Don’t spam
Where do you see any spamming?
I’m gonna go to Best Buy in the morning to pay the rest of my CE and try to talk them into giving me my copy a bit early. I hope it goes well for me.
=) Closer and closer to my hands.
i work at walmart in sioux falls, sd, and we got em in today! I HELD ONE IN MY HANDS!!!!
kyle buy it for me and ship it ill send u the money.. i know you stole a couple.
They were shipped a long time back in some countries.
It’s… beautiful…
I am glad to say that I received one such e-mail today! I can’t wait… the suspense is killing me! And what’s more, I’ll get it and will only be able to stare at it for a couple of weeks, because whilst I’m at Uni my PS3’s at home! =( Oh well, at least I’ve ordered the SE, so I’ll be able to take a look through the books and the like! XD
On the second last picture. Scroll up and down and experience a mild optical illusion. Cant wait for GT5!
Lolz hilarious. I did try it. Nice fun!
Wow Zoom effect! :) Btw just checked my order. They’re still hogging it :(
Looks like I’ll be calling some stores that usually sell games early in NYC tomorrow.
Great news!. We should start seeing all the reviews in the next couple of days.
To hell with reviews, I don’t need any reviews to tell me if the game is good or not. If it’s made by PD, it must be good.
Reviews wow. Ok when I get my copy i will give you my review.
imo most review sites cant be trusted anyway…. do they get paid to give good reviews? i just played NFS:HP it scored really well yet the games an embarrassment…an absolute joke
Whats wrong with you? we’ll be playing it.
Wait…so Sony just started delivering them to the game dealers??? I thought they started shipping them a long time ago… I’m confuzzled…
It takes days to receive a shipment don’t you think.
Fakes just a web fanboy. Thx Jordan for the awesome pics!!!! can’t wait till wednesday!!!!
Had a chat with my local dealer just yesterday – might get my copy on monday :-D
Of course I’ll be getting one of those. I worked so hard for that game!
I don’t believe you :P
Vietmanese guy isnt it.
UNE REVOLUTION
Yes!!
So, according to the 4th picture, there is going to be DLC?
which pic is there DLC?
On the 4th photo, the 3rd line, middle item says “Add-On Content”. Look closely for it.
Either that’s just strictly for the cars you preorder, or there is DLC that’s coming.
I was doubtful over it, but I can confirm it isn’t just your eyes, I’m seeing ‘Add On Content’ too…
I hoping it isn’t pay content. It’s the worst thing about games these days, you buy the game and then either on launch day or within a month, maybe 2 months as a hook, you get told ‘downloadable content for 15 bucks’…
Even one of my fav ps3 games, assassin’s creed 2 fell when they gave us a game and sure, the 2 missions weren’t ready, so give them to us later, for free, they were part of the pc game included, why couldn’t they just be a late inclusion for ps3? but no, it is 10 more bucks to get part of a game that should have been there…. If Gt5 starts flogging out hockenhiem, spa etc.. in track packs for 10 bucks a pop I will kill someone. I refuse to pay for things I already have. If it really costs more to add them then they should have increased the games price by 3 bucks for all, and then given free access to it.
I played Assassin’s Creed 2 myself. When I found out that it skipped 2 missions and then put them as DLC for 10 bucks, I was upset. They could have set the game back for a bit to add those, or gave them to us as DLC for free.
As with GT5, I might as well get a couple of PSN cards ready for this.
Of course there’s going to be DLC. Of course it is going to cost you. They are trying to run a business, you know.
The thing a lot of those games already have the content on the disc, and they’re selling stuff we already technically own
Oh noes the dreaded DLC, whatever happened to expansion packs… They were always so much bigger and better value for money =[, now we’ll have to pay £5 for each car, even £1 for each new car would be too much.. Mainly because there’d be so many new cars…. Probably already 50 they’ve made and shoved into the disc before printing that they’ll sell you the unlock code later.. as Lsasqwach says. This depresses me =[. But still, mines been sent today =], I do hope I get it on Monday and the delivery people don’t listen to the seller saying to keep it till Wednesday.
I would pay for a premium Veyron.
No you wont coz it would be free.
Good eye Vypa-Squad … I didn’t notice that until you mentioned it. At first, the game’s going to be pretty overwhelming, so I won’t care much for DLC. However, as time goes on, I’ll nearly expect it.
@ jdejes
Me too, PD screwed us over with that one. If I make a review on Amazon this will be my cons:
Why is the Veyron standard?
Why is the VEYRON standard?!
WHY IS THE VEYRON STANDARD?!?!
WHHHHHYYYY ISSSSS THHHEEE VEEEEYYYRROOONN STTAAAAAAAAAANNNDAAAAAAAARRRDD?!?!?!?!?!
maybe I can talk someone into selling it early…
DUDE! The wait is nearly over. :’)
Ack! I was about to go to bed when I checked Twitter for the last time. Now I won’t be able to get to sleep. D:
woot!
YES
5 days! I dont know what I have to do to skip this time or go faster… maybe use drugs & alcohol, lmao :D
Hip hip!
Hooray!
Anyone know which Canadian store these pictures are from? Is it in Toronto?! I need to know !! :P
So…
What happened to “Take it to the track?” Those were fake/early copies after all?
I’m confused. *scratches head*
On the other hand
WHOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Prolly in Quebec, since the gt5 copies are written in english and french.
Anyone in tue UK preordered from Play.com? Check your account – mine says it’s in stock and being “packed”
My pre-order from Amazon US still says “not yet shipped”. C’mon guys, get to work!
My Play.com order says “Packing” too! :D I hope it gets dispatched today, might get it tomorrow!!
Anyone notice the changed color scheme on the boxart? The leaked copies we’ve seen have had a gray car on the front, whereas these have a red car.
So… are these the “true final-final retail versions”?
LOL :D
All products in Canada must have both offical languages on it. It could be anywhere.
4 Days Left, It getting closer :D
@ BigE
I’ll join you in on that!
Hip hip! Hooray! Hip hip! Hooray!
