Famine,

i take it creating a thread purely with a list of 'unnoffical' release dates is a no-no. The thing is, many of us actually have an interest in these rumours, maybe if we had a thread, organised a bit like a official car list, organise it properly nobody will need to annoy you.

A releasedate wishlist? Are you serious? :lol:

"NOW" "I want it asap" "release it when its done" "now".

:lol:

If you want to see rumors, use the sticky thread, but dont spread them.
 
lol i did for fun have a look at the diffrent release dates on the web and almost every site mensions a diffrent one and aslong we get no answer from sony or pd all of them are fake too me
 
I have a feeling its finished and just being tested. Hopefully from August or September onwards we'll start seeing screen shots.
 
Although a release date just after christmas will have a few benefits.


1. Not take away from the number of new PSP's and GTPSP going to be sold, as santa isnt known for leaving wrapped up pre-order reciepts.

2. Theres going to be a lot of people getting a new lower priced PS3 on xmas day, with the money they get from the relatives who cant be bothered to pick a present, a lot of kids are going to have money to burn.

3. As with 1. releasing this game after xmas means wives, girlfriends, our better halves are going to have to find some other PS3 game to buy for under xmas tree.

4. I would also think that the PSN is going to be hit hard on xmas day with all the new PS3's, imagine adding a few million more 'high load gamers' who want to play GT5 on the same day.

5. It will give me more time to play DIRT 2 and Need for speed shift, and if i feel like splashing out £55, i could buy Modern Warefare 2.

But............... Its my birthday on the 25th November.......
 
At E3 some guy from SONY (SCEE i guess) stated that GT5 will be releases Christmas this year. I think it will be released shortly before or after Christmas, at least in Japan. I hope it will be a simultanious release, but we will never know until PD finally tells us about the actual release date!

Amazon has been pretty reliable as far as release dates are concerned, at least they tend to "guess" the right quarter of the year. I mean the 29th of december seems a bit awkeward, but i guess Amazon just wanted to tell us, that it will be released this year, be it before this date, or exactly that day.
 
but it's not a rumor it's just a new information

Is it definitely GT5's release date?

No. So this is speculation, not information. Until Sony publish GT5's release date there is no new information.


maybe a lot of people wants to know that amazon release date or it's very important for someone

How is knowing one company's guess going to get the game into our hands?

It's not.
 
Speculation is information. It might not be correct but it is information.

Other way about. It's not information. It might be correct, but it's not information.

Guessing isn't data - even though you might guess right.

Amazon gave a release date - that's information. It might not be correct, but it is information.

But according to you it's speculation. Therefore, speculation is information.

Data can be incorrect. That's why we talk about being 'misinformed'.

Data that isn't correct isn't data... Being "misinformed" is a result of "misinformation"...

GT5 has no release date yet - so Amazon's release date, whatever it is, is not information about GT5's release date. It is speculation about GT5's release date.


You're approaching this from exactly the wrong side.

It is speculation, shops do that to get pre-orders, they just use a random date in a certain time-frame instead of a "TBA" or "N/A". It has the same meaning like i would tell you that GT5 might get released on December 5.

So, it is speculation and this speculation leads to people who believe in that nonesense and when the game gets a real releasedate later, everyone is crying because of "delay".
 
Im sure we had this issue with GT4 aswell. Or was there actually delays with that? I wasnt really on here very much then so I'm not 100% sure, but the shops kept telling me "There's been a delay".

So i'm guessing GT5 will be the same in other words the shops dont know the release date (because as yet one hasnt been publicly released) so as an excuse for them not having a clue they tell you "theres been a delay".

Correct me if I'm wrong.
 
Indeed we did - and Sony's own release dates went by the wayside more than once.

Which is why I wouldn't even take a Sony release date as a cast-iron guarantee...

Everything you just wrote is speculation.

Does that mean Sony's information is speculation too?!

i think it is fair to speculate that we wont see GT5 untill the PS3 slim is out, because you hear nothing of GT PSP then all of a sudden theres a new PSP coming out then they give you videos of GT PSP running, which is more than we have had of GT5
 
Pretty much.

Though it's the kind of speculation you'd do your best to make happen if you like your fingers the length they are.
 
It was not so long ago nearly every game sellers web site had the same date (Something like 29th Sept, I think i was) Then people were saying, it cant be coincidence they must know something, now just about every site has a different date, proving they don't know anything they are just guessing & trying to get pre-orders.
 
this whole GT5 wait wouldnt be so bad if i could only stop myself from coming on this forum ever day to see if there is anything new
 
I have just read Sony made a Q1 loss this year & I have always said GT5 will be a PS3 seller, I know a lot of people myself who only intend to buy a PS3 just for GT5. There are many here who have spend shed loads on new equipment.
So I wonder how long it will take Sony to tell PD to get the product out of the door, if its as Kaz said in a condition where it could actually be released?

If you can't self-regulate your compulsions, you can ask for a temporary ban. It sounds silly but others have done so for various reasons.
