You guys remember when the PS3 slim was announced right? There was a shroud of secrecy and the rumor mill had been running at full bore. In a matter of a couple of hours after the "official" 'announcement, major gaming media bloggers, magazines, and television had their hands on it and were posting their thoughts, unboxings, etc. I wouldn't put it past Sony to have GT5 on shelves by this Tuesday. BO and GT5 have nothing to do with each other except guaranteeing GT5 will be sold at midnight at every store selling BO at midnight. I would like to see GT5 take on NFS:HP3 the following Tuesday.
We'll find out shortly.
Yeah, but Dave, they already have the advertising done, so even if they hold off the TV and gaming sites with the advertising, it still takes time to replicate, package, send to distributors, and then to retailers.
Would I like a Midnight drop of GT5/ You bet. Does Sony REALLY need to advertise this title, Nope. The people on the GT forums globally have been waiting for it for so long and have every tidbit of information on it, they don't need advertising. They need the game.
I think that all of the interviews and video game shows and magazine articles that have been plastered all over the internet have saved PD/Sony a ton of advertising money. So in reality, I take back the advertising crap I said earlier, it's just a matter of distribution after production and packaging.
