So did GameStop cancel or postpone "Turismo Tuesday"? I was really looking forward to more, new information today.

Also, i wonder if the Prima track guide is going to still release on Nov 2nd...?

Considering GT5's delay, it would be nice if we got a wealth of information on Nov. 2nd. Complete Track List, Complete Car list, etc. (i realize some people don't want this information until they get the game... but i personally would appreciate knowing more about a game i've looked forward to for so long)
I pre-ordered the guide when I ordered GT5 and went to the Gamestop last Sunday to ask this very question. He looked on the computer and the release date for the "Prima" book was 1-1-2011 which is when they have GT5 release date!
 
hey guys, guess that might be quite interesting for all of you...

i was at an official sony retailer (sony center in bern, switzerland) yesterday, in the shop window they displayed some sort of bundle

sony 3D tv + ps3 + GT5 !!!

i talked to one of the sales assistants in the shop. the guy didn't seem absolutely competent, yet he confirmed that the bundle is for sale RIGHT NOW

sorry i can't say anything about the prices. buying a new tv and ps3 just to play gt5 2 months earlier is not an option for me. however, i would assume that sony wouldn't let you have the package with the cheapest version of a 3D tv...

He's full of crap and means you can order/pay for it now and they may give you what parts they have on hand, but they don't have any copies of the game.

Go back and ask him to see the actual game, if they really did have it, it would sell like hotcakes becuase you could sell just the game alone on ebay right now more than the pacakge cost.

"Ramirez, delay that countdown!"
 
Um.... Gamestop is silly. They can't release the game on 1/1/2011. It's a Saturday!!! :ouch::dunce:👎:grumpy: Games come out on Tuesdays in the United States! They Fail! Wow the 16th of November... I hope so.

I understand people are upset. Wonder why more game companies don't follow Blizzards lead and refuse to announce release dates until they are SOLID release dates? Avoids frustration, defection, and general ill will towards the company.
 
The game was delayed and it's sad, doesn't mean you have to gay it up.

You might wanna fix that, before it's reported.

About release dates; to be fair, a sketchy Russian site first broke news of the delay, so it's entirely possible we'll find out from a non-official source first again.

Pretty much. You don't let it slip to the public that you screwed up/you're greedy/you're dishonest/etc. It's all about the public image. Not saying any of these are the case here, although you can never rule anything out.
 
I've been away from the site for a week and I come to see that (surprise!) the game is delayed. I don't care how much you guys wanna kiss Kaz's feet, but this is really ridiculous. And to the people that say "Well why don't you go make a better game", my response is "No! That is what I pay Kaz and his team for when I preordered the game."

Yes, it will be awesome, but part of a great company is delivering on its promise. When it comes out, it comes out. Joy.

One minor detail - you didn't pay PD when you pre-ordered, you paid Gamestop (or whoever) to keep one of the copies they get in safe for you. Your expectations, though understandable, are entirely ill-founded.
