Many, many American and European users here imported GT5 Prologue when it was released first in Japan, myself included. How many of you plan to do the same for Gran Turismo 5? Why or why not?
I'll be waiting for it to release in my region, less hassle and a game designed for my culture (eg. car names, menu languages, the ability play against other Australians). Getting the JP version would be a waste of time and money for me.👍
Absolutely not. The Japanese are known for exercising great patience, and so am I! I will wait until it's released in North America (U.S.A. specifically).
It's almost been 5 years, so I'm sure I can wait until April to May for it to arrive. I am in for the long haul
Wouldnt bother importing from Japan, mostly because of language issues (dont really want to pay more for something thats in a language I cant understand.) however if its released in the US before Europe I would look at importing a copy from the US.
I live in the U.A.E,in the Middle East.
Games here usally comes on the release date of us or europe or sometimes b4 the release date!(example:forza 3 etc.)
So i dont mind waiting for gt5
I bought the Japanese version of GT5P and thoroughly enjoyed playing with it until the game was released in Europe so I could buy it again. However, for GT5 I think the game will be too big to be able to play it using translations - so, no, I will (impatiently) wait until it is available in England.
I didn't import GT5P, but that was more because I couldn't and not because I didn't want to. I'll be buying two copies of GT5. Imported copy from Japan, then the US release of it.
I will wait for GT5 to come to New Zealand for a number of reasons.
1. Obviously there is the language barrier.
2. If I do import from Japan, will the Japanese game save work with English version. If it doesn't, I would have wasted a lot of time.
3. I have mid-year exams in early May and GT5 will probably be a distraction to me.
So, I'm quite OK with waiting for GT5 to come out in NZ. Although, I don't think there will be much of a difference between Japan and the rest of the world as Sony do realise that GT5 will lift PS3 sales, which is exactly what they need!
I´m going for the PAL version. Wasn´t there a rumour about a world wide release date anyway? If that is the case, importing from Japan is, well, pointless.
I'll try not to take any notice of it until it comes out in Europe, but who am I kidding? I'll probably buy it as soon as it comes out in Japan. I've waited 5 years for this game and the idea that it's available in one region and I'd still have to wait for it in my region will drive me mad.
Depends on how much later the European release is and if the save game file is transferable to the PAL version.
Anymore than a month between release dates and I'm definitely importing it... I can't read Japanese, but that's not too much of an issue as I'll just spend the month getting golds in all the license tests... should be easy enough to work out where they.
