Fartza 4 can't be done on the aging 360. That is unless they wantk to do some stupid "air guitar" crap except in a driving game. The xBox 1.5 can't do what t10 will require to make their game compete with GT5.
I'm sorry xBots but the only thing you have going for you on that platform is XBL, and that comes with a steep(er) price tag. Oh and advertising, including product placement. THAT is an area Sony needs to invest a lot of money! Well, wait, Sony did take a $200 loss on every PS3 for a while there. So it's not like they were raking in the cash hand over fist like Micro$oft and especially Nintendo.

Don't feed the failing troll, kiddies. This is the same guy who thinks that differing release dates in different regions is because of racism. 
Off idiocy, On topic.
If PD was only late to turn in the data to be made into the production copies, we can expect that a release is fairly soon. If PD delays because they want to implement a feature, that's one thing. This is just poor timing on PD's part.

I don't think SONY itself puts placeholders on their sites...
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666006660
they would be seriously stupid not bringing it to us before XMAS 2010
...... don't see why a lot of you are so bitter about it ....
have a little faith ....

Look ckeddar I feel the way I do and you may or may nit feel the same way. This site was founded upon what game? And what system is that game played on? It's just how I feel and I am not alone in my loathing of M$.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.

"Accepting Pre-orders
Available on or about 11/30/2010. We will email you when product ships."
I'm just sayin... Hopefully it was an issue of not getting all of the data to the burners on time.

They'll probably announce the release date at SEMA. Seeing as they already have GT Awards planned.

I think that by not telling us this month (when they said they would) just means they are in a real pickle with it and can't yet commit to a early Christmas release date, due to fear of disappointment of another delay.
Now I'd rather not get another delay before Christmas, would you? So its best let them sort out, even if it hurts that bit more!

I woulnd't go so far as to say I hate Xbox and Forza (I just don't really like Microsoft), but I reluctantly have to agree with some of the Forza fanboys - at least they have a game. I know, it's buggy, not as realistic as GT, etc, etc. But still, at least they have something to goddamn do!
Anyway, I notice a lot of people in this thread seem to think that Kaz was personally, single handedly, responsible for making GT5. I'm sure he spent many hours and sleepless nights forming the concept of GT5, making both gaming and financial decisions. But actually slave over the game himself? Sorry guys, but there are +/- 150 expert developers under his command. Just like how the President of Ford isn't on the factory floor, angle-grinder in hand, making Mustangs. Sure, Kaz may have been the one to come up with Gran Turismo, but if only he existed, there would be nothing. So stop worshipping him already.
Kaz,PD and Sony have effectively kicked dirt in the faces of their customers.

Did you make sure it was a walk-in customer??
Because a bummer standing around in the store doesn't work, especially if you see him sorting the game boxes on the shelves for hours...
The best person to ask is the Soccer Mom coming to ask for the best game, she would know for sure 👍

I read on here somewhere the other day that as a result of the delay the game would be released at the earliest end of Nov and at the latest early-mid Dec. Other dates that we have seen pop up on a couple of Sony sites also seem to confirm this so it would seem that we are looking at 4-6 weeks from now.

According to the Sears and Target circulars which I just got today, GT5's still coming out on Tuesday. Man I'd be so pissed if I showed up there on Tuesday. Obviously it won't happen to me because I've been keeping on top of it. But it's a sucky thing for the customers that don't know about the delay. And I'm sure there are quite a few.
Edit: hmmmm maybe I will show up there on Tuesday and demand my copy. Try to score a gift card or something. I'll tell them "man, I took off work and shrugged all my responsibilities for the day, and now you're telling me there's no game?!?!!?!?"

I think PD should make a T-shirt that says
"I waited 6 years for GT5 and all i got was this T-shirt"

There are a lot of people saying "Sony knew it would never make Nov. 2 and are baiting us". If this statement were true why would Sony embarrass themselves in such a spectacular way by ending their E3 show this year - you know, the biggest trade show in gaming - with a promise we'd *finally* see GT5 this year, on Nov. 2?
It was a real date they set, and one they missed due to, in their words, production issues. Production issues, just like a big E3 announcement failing, make Sony look quite incompetent. You could even say stupid.
How desperate do you think Sony are to sell a few more copies of a game that is the 5th main entry in one of their most popular and high selling series, whose glorified demo (which I still love) sold millions of? It's not a gamble that GT5 is going to have impressive sales numbers and make everyone involved a lot of money. It's a gamble to make your entire corporation look that stupid, twice, in order to maybe get a few more pre-orders. The mistakes made so far look to me like real mistakes.

One I fear I have is if PD doesn't make this release window for Christmas, then the urgency for them to release the game soon will not be there. So in PD mindset the pressure to release by the holiday will be gone, thus pushing the release possibility into the end of the first quarter of the next year allowing them to take more time to perfect the game on and on.

Everyone should do what I did and just give up on GT5 ever coming out, and get one of these. http://teamassociated.com/cars_and_trucks/RC8/RTR/
There so much fun, alot better then any sim I've played. I don't really even think about GT5 anymore. When it comes out great, I'll either buy it or I won't. I'm not really worried about it. These RC cars are awsome and have more then taken the place of my racing sims. Check out this video of the buggys in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oc_2Q2Wk5w
