Makes no sense .... Kaz did say he was only 3 days late ..... he said nothing about re-work...
i'm still hoping for the around 30-11 release as indicated on sonystyle.com

Did he mean it was finished 3 days late or it had gone 3 days over the deadline so far?

3 days late for his 'slot' in the production line .... (to be able to meet the 3-11 release date)
(now he is behind COD & NFS .... )
any other changes can be done by patch i presume ...
This is fitting nicely with my prediction of Q1 2011. I don't think any of us will have GT5 before January.

There is something really, really wrong at PD.
If it was just a 3-days delay there was no reason not to release the new release date in, say, 2 weeks!
Definitely, they're good on making video games but suck at fulfilling schedules. Nevertheless, it could be worse.

Has anyone considered this to be the easiest way to get everyone absolutely juicing for this product?
You can tell just by the amount of posts about this thread on this forum, what Sony and PD have done here is brilliant - they've just made the game that much more exclusive and everyone is now even more keen to get it.
I'm not saying I endorse what they've done, but c'mon... who seriously wants the game less now?
I NEED that disc

Man I'm pretty sure its this damn 3.50 fimrware for the ps3 thats screwing everyone up.
I have two PS3 Slims, and the are both identically MESSED upright after I installed 3.5 on both of them. For eexample the browser no longer works right, if you go to the normal youtube site on the ps3 browser, thumbnails are not shown, and you cannot click on some links, instead the thing to write comes up. I also noticed some extra jitter and framrates drops on some games, and downloaded content sometimes takes ages to install, way longer than i remember.
I almost feel like wrting a letter to sony, I cant beleive they've let this go on for so long. Are their official boards any good?

Yeah there likely is something wrong there. Maybe something along the lines of talking too much crap and not producing anything.
They should've originally kept their dumb mouths shut and their hands busy producing. Now they're doing it the other way around: hands are busy, mouths are shut.
I'm just a little ranty this morning because even if my gamestop hadn't done a midnight opening, I would've been on my way to pick up the game at this point. If only they hadn't talked so much crap. Oh well.
I'm cool now

I regret not buying an XBOX at christmas last year, If I'd have done that I'd have been kept busy with Forza, don't wanna buy one now with only 2 or 3 months left (it should have been 3 days today) til GT5 comes out.
Will I find myself repeating this in 6 months time when GT5 is STILL not here and i'll have been without a decent racing game for years.

Hey if you can afford the Xbox 360, get it. It's better to have something to play than think about playing something. I got Forza3 last year when it came out and had my fun with it. Got boring rather quickly but I feel it was worth the play. And then, of course, there's quite a few titles on the 360 that aren't on the ps3 so you get to enjoy those as well.
Also, if anything, buy a cheap one on Craigslist or something. Just make sure you test it before buying it because some people sell their RROD or banned consoles on those sites.

I believe so too, but Sony were quite adamant on it being released in 2010.
2 trains of thought, I suppose.
We're not gonna see it this year.
or
12/31 might not be too inaccurate, despite it being a "placeholder date". With all their "so-called issues" in this release, they're probably gonna try to push it back as far as possible... hence the last day in 2010.
And here we are, still speculating the hell out of it.

That's not a bad price. I actually didn't care for F1 as much as I thought I would. Just felt hastily put together.
I'm actually thinking of getting Modnation Racers until Black Ops drops. And then NFS-Hot Pursuit so I can pretend PD is the cops and I'm the big-bad-racer. Bash them all over the place

Do you mean slower at starting up, loading menus, discs? Or do you mean the actual framerate once a game up and running is lower?
It could be they have more stuff on their harddrive.

If only I had a dollar for everytime I have saw someone post "we are not going to get it this year" or "It will be released on [some placeholder date]" I could buy a 3d TV to play it on.
It is really getting old listening (reading) all the negative comments based on nothing but fear. The fact is that the only official announcements indicate that the game will be in stores either late Nov or Early-Mid Dec. Definitely before Christmas. For now this is what we have to go on and anything else is pure speculation.
Give it a rest.

I'm still hoping for a Black Friday release. If it was only a 3 day delay, it's not that hard to get there, they have two weeks to print (which they probably already did), and ship the BDs to US, then Europe, then Japan, then my poor, always neglected Aussie friends.
It makes sense, and that way they get their sales. But knowing Sony, they don't care, they want to sell those overpriced ridiculous 3D TVs that no one wants. If I don't even have a 30" flat screen, do they think I'm gonna buy a 3D one?

Imagine for people like me then who just recently bought a 42" tv. I mean, I don't think a TV is something you should need to buy more then maybe once ever 15 year or so.. The only thing that could make me wanna buy a new "TV" is a "TV" with the very expensive and still very early hologram technique. Were a projector of some kind bassicly paints the picture in the room you are in, in the air. But now we are probably talking about 15-20 years into the future cause they first need to make money from the 3d tv's of today, then they are gonna need to make money from the new 3d tv's that doesnt require 3d glasses. So, yeah.. it's a long way into the future.

Maybe we should buy 3 3D tv's and then they will release the game
