(Ok - bad joke.)

Oh. My. Dear. Xenu. Is that an actual voice of reason in amongst all the pissing and moaning?
I couldn't agree with you more, TakeshiSkunk. I preordered the CE last week and it'll show up when it shows up. An extra month? Big. Flippin'. Deal.
Get over it people. It really is just a game. Why don't you all go outside and play for a while to cool off.

I guess I'll have time to play either F1 2010 or Medal of Honor, I'll just have to decide which one I'll buy.
Seriously, it's pathetic. They aren't giving us no reason or at least a postponed date. But hey that would be too logical, let's keep them waiting in the dark. That is a big '**** you in the face. Plus, I just preordered GT5 collector's edition 2 days ago at gamestop.... *sigh*

Given that no new release date has been given, the release date is now open ended, giving the possibility that it could be pushed back even further, possibly into 2011. The safe thing to do is not get caught up in counting down to a unknown Christmas date. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. In those immortal words of the Who, "We won't get fooled again"

You know, if some people didn't spend 24/7 on a website about a videogame that isn't even released yet you'd be able to take a minor delay in your stride.
Welcome to the real world.

I just remembered. Mortal Kombat HD is scheduled to release in November!
Why this has happened for those of you who are not the 8 year old OMG OMG I am selling my PS3 brigade.
You set a gold master date for a game usually 4 weeks before the desired street date. The master version is meant to leave your offices on that date, goes to your respective territory's duplication centre where it has a pre-booked slot and then gets shipped to all your retail outlets.
Often gold master dates slip but you still have a spare life. The actual process can take as little as maybe two and a half weeks or three weeks so if your account managers get on and get a new slot and your game is a big one then it gets prioritised ahead of others in the duplication queue.
All fine in principle but the reality is GT5 missed its Gold date and then has continued to fail to master because of critical bugs. Today they have evidently decided that it needs a new build with fixes and a new test cycle which if added to your minimum time for duplication and distribution means the original date now becomes physically impossible.
The reasons why it has failed repeatedly. Well, it is a very big game with probably too much new content for one jump ahead in the series and testing all realistic scenarios becomes a huge and thankless task. Testing of the online experience has apparently been especially arduous too.
New content apart from minor things like sound or videos should not have been added
after the Beta of the game which would have been in August. I would be surprised if that would have been adhered to. It is all a bit of a fiasco to be honest.
To answer a couple of early posts, to ship a broken game and patch it later would be suicide for the brand and for the console. While online does give you this option now, console manufacturers never want to be seen to following the often lazy example that you get with PC games and they are right to think this.

in return for this delay (delay count anyone?)
there better be a 🤬 livery editor...
and the tuning/customization system better blow any other racing game out the window too...
and there better be a Premium BMW E39 in the final game.
^^^ for those 3 things... i wont mind waiting another 6 months.
*now im waiting to get flamed*

I didn't say that, smartass. But your overall tone in this thread, which is best seen in this post, is basically "I don't care why the game was delayed. I deserve the game the way I want it, and I deserve it when I want to have it."
Well, guess what: The world doesn't revolve around you, and it sure as hell doesn't revolve around you when it comes to purchasing something. You don't like that PD delayed the game? Fine. Don't buy it. Then feel free to shut up about it, because you don't "deserve" anything.
I realise now that something went wrong in translation for earlier announcements. PD didn't ever mean to confirm that snow and rain would be in the game, they meant to confirm that there would be snow and rain by the time we got the game.
And worry not, fair Australia, you've not been forgotten in all this. Your release has been officially pushed back to July 2011. 🤬 New Zealand though.
