At my 4 local gamestation stores here in the UK i was told `theres not enough interest`for them to do a midnight release!Also as far as the store guy was aware theres no pre-order DLC like there was for Forza 3 either,though this may change.

GAME rang me and said that they are doing a midnight launch. so i do not understand why gamestation aren't doing one
 
I just hope this will not be the final list of cars and just like Forza 3 we shall get DLC cars. I hope we get a Lamborghini Reventon, Veyron Super Sports, and the Honda HSV all in premium.

Same with tracks and upgrade.
 
Question for the lucky bastards who now have the game in hand... surely some of you have G27's. Please post, at your earliest convenience, information pertaining to how the wheel functions in GT5.

Please,

Thank You.
 
Just asked a little retailer and if they get caught selling the game earlier its 5000 $ ticket !

And they didn't receive the copies yet (Canada)

I'm inclined to believe that these people just throw out some random number and then make it sound as if they have a rep from Sony sitting in their store making sure that no copies leave.
 
Guys, resize the pictures! I have a 19" screen and it's still freakin huge!:grumpy:

Also we've already seen the case millions of times. Why didn't you take a pic of the install screen instead?

To give you an Idea on how big they were, I have a 24" LG LCD and it fit just perfect, took up the whole screen but fit perfect lol.
 
come on guys the early copies are usually pocketed I have a close friend who does this with big releases all the time if one store in every state of the us let one copy go thats 3k PD got screwed over for these illegal pre-sales will have an affect on first day sales dont you guys want PD to break some records?

Selling a copy early is NOT illegal (in the U.S. anyway). And to say that they lose 3k for one copy of a game is silly. If they were that valuable, they wouldn't sell it for $60 USD.

Where in Canada ? (some bigger retailers in Québec seem to have already received their copies)

Does anybody in Montréal would be courageous enough to call all the local EBGames, GameBuzz, HMV, Futureshop, etc... to know when we'll be able to happily spend our money in their shops ? :)
 
I got the game!!!
It's running right now on my ps3.

Do you have questions?

I don't, not anything that amar212 didn't answer, he's got a 2 1/2 day headstart into the game. Someone might have a question for you tho lol, probably your first question will be if the G27 is supported with the H shifter and all, and then you'll say you don't have a G27, and you'll get walls of text being asked the same thing that you can't do over and over again :D lol telling someone you have GT5 install/ed has netted you a full inbox lol

No, they just have to CYA (cover your butt) because if they sell you a copy 5 days early and you blab to everyone about it and it traces back to that store, they're in trouble.

This is a good point. I guess if I go to try to pull this off today I need to convince them that my lips are sealed about getting a copy early.
 
just went by my local game stop in the states and they laughed at me and said no way in hell can they sell it before the 24th... and they wouldn't tell me if they even had them in stock! on a side note they said i was the 3rd one in today asking about it

I doubt GameStop will break street date. Try smaller shops or big chains like Wal-Mart. (if anyone breaks street date, they would)

My bad. But even then, stores can legally sell these games before the launch date. Sony isn't losing any money by stores selling a few copies early.

But Sony can slap them with a huge fine for doing so. $$$$$$

Offer the cashier a $10 bribe. He probably doesn't get paid a lot and doesn't really care as long as it doesn't get traced back to him. Also if you pay for the game in cash and have him hold off on actually charging the game until release date then there is no way of knowing they sold it. That's what I would do.

Yeah, that's true, but I see it like this, I know 2 other people in this city who has a PS3. Everybody else I know own a 360. The 2 I know are family. They don't like racing games all that much, so the only people who I'd tell is you guys. Which one of ya'll going to come here and buy a copy?

I'm in Arkansas. Who's from Arkansas on GTP?

If I were them .... there is no point of risking to pay 5000 for 5 days earlier of selling !
