Has anyone upset about this releasing one day later than the US stopped and thought that maybe, just maybe, there might be more to it than Sony wants to make you mad? Maybe it is based on how certain shipping schedules work out, maybe it is based on how retailers are able/willing to release things?

I know it is being released on a Tuesday in the US because that is the day of the week that things like games and DVDs normally release in the US. It has little to do with giving the US some sort of special treatment.
 
Past experiences with play.com I get my pre ordered games 2 maybe 3 days early if I'm lucky. So there is no need to worry about the U.S getting it first. I just have one problem now, buy the more expensive collectors edition for £60 or buy the cheaper standard edition for £40. C'mon people please help me.

By the way I cannot wait for the first gameplay videos to emerge :).Does anyone know if it's a new demo?

save your money and get the Standard edition, if it's DLC cars you want PD will give em away later.

I agree with you however, if hey released it in EU on the 2nd as well, you would get the game before the US. I think they didn't want that for some reason.

This was more dissapointing then E3 2009...just a release date, nothing else.

How was E3 from 2 months ago any different?

Due to time differences and my work schedule Australians will likely be playing this before me anyway.
 
I was rather underwhelmed by Sony and a little disappointed.

GT5 release date is nice to know.

I Feel more and more like Sony just don't care about Europe or the UK in which i live , events like E3 for example are held with video streaming and nice graphics etc , but then sony brings europe a poor super short conference at Gamescom which we all know was late by over an hour and 20 mins which from the looks of sony not could not care less about this would not happen at E3 or TGS but then again i think in my mind Sony class EU events as second class.

1 (announcement), 2 (Standard Cars) no 3 (Damage/Premium-Cars) trailers including night racing :)
But I didn't expect much from this conference, I'll only be disappointed if those interviews won't reveal anything interesting.

There are still more than 2 months until release and we will get A LOT of videos and information until then.
 
Sony press conference. GT5 private conference is tomorrow. Then the rest is just gamescon.

So why are people getting all bent out of shape!? There was never meant to be any information today anyway!

I think people need to learn how to manage their expectations! And chill!

I've ordered from play.com for many years and i've never recieved mine any earlier than 1 day before release. Now play.com do post these early to ensure the customer recieves these on release day but I doubt you recieve them 3 days early. The simple reason is retailers can be sued for breaking the release date. The reason why 1 day early is accepted is to take into account the posting of the item.

Dumbest question ever?

What did we get? Tons of gameplay footage, some more news about features such as Photo Mode and NASCAR Premium VS Standard...and a kick ass trailer with a kick ass song!
 
Just think GT5 it is coming and really thats all that matters. All the trailors, features, and gameplay of it doesnt matter. Atleast for me anyway. All I know is on Nov. 2 I will have it in my hands and will be able to do whatever I want with it.

I agree. Not many expected a release date today, and I for one am very happy.

didn't expect it to be a day later though

Im pleased because I feared the release date would be towards the end of November. Besides if you pre-order from Shop to, play.com, Game you should get the game on the 2nd November.

This is going to be the longest 10 weeks i've ever known!!

I was expecting a release date today. This is the only time Sony are truly able to announce a date for Europe and to discover we are only a day behind North America, I feel that Sony and PD are trying as hard as possible to distribute the game as a worldwide release. For that I have major respect to Sony. Wouldn't surprise me if Japan's release date was between the 2nd - 5th November. I can't believe that in approximately 3 months or less we will all be playing the game we crave. :D
