GT5:P Demo Release Date CONTEST: Congratulations to Mr.Grandorifto!!!!!

[Digital-Nitrate]

OK... so supposedly sometime between 11am (EST) on the 19th and 11am (EST) on the 20th, with one source suggesting 11pm (EST) on the 19th.

So shall we start a betting pool on the time?

I'll fill in the rules/info when I have more time (running late for party), but for now, in JPN (was EST - explained below) time, post the date and time you think the GT5 demo will actually get released onto the Japanese PS Store.

The person whose guess is the closest to the actual date and time I will buy 1 year's worth of Premium or a GT Planet T-shirt... winner gets to choose. 👍

But most importantly they win Nostradamus bragging rights...

* In the event the actual release time is exactly between two times, the person who posted their guess first will win the prize. - thus giving a slight advantage to those who do not wait to the last minute to place or change their guess. 👍

* It may be difficult to determine the exact time the demo becomes available, so those who have made a submission, it would benefit you to check to see if the demo is available at the time you guess. That said, I will do everything I can to insure the exact time is determined. 👍



EDIT: OK, I'm back...

OK, so I have added a list of everyone's guesses so far, and will do my best to keep it updated as more guesses come in... and as people change their guesses.

That's right, everyone has the opportunity to change their mind up until 10/19 10:30 AM (EST), 3:30 PM (GMT), 11:30 PM (JPN).... or in the unlikely circumstance that the demo is released early.

Please use the list to avoid guessing the same time as someone else. In the event two people do select the same time, only the person who guessed it first will get credited for that time.

Do not edit your post, as I might not see the change, just make a new post if you want to change your guess.

It is each person's responsibility to make sure they not only get their guesses in on time, but make sure I have listed the right time for you in the list shown below (you may have to use the scroll bar on the right of the list).

* It is especially important for those that are not using EST for the guesses they submit.


EDIT: Considering many are ignoring the request for using EST time, from now on, only post JPN time, and/or like most everyone, be clear what time zone you are using just in case! 👍

I will also now make the JPN time the first time shown in the list of submissions if that will help.



Good luck everyone and most importantly, let's all hope the demo is actually released and not delayed at the last minute!

BreakerOhio already selected that time in post #19. You'll need to make another choice.

Be sure to check the list on the first post to avoid picking the same times. To make it very easy I also posted the JPN and GMT times in addition to the EST times. 👍

 

[Matt R]

Is this going to be like "The Price is Right" where anyone who has overstated the release date is DQ'd? Or will it be based on who is closer in + or - minutes?

It will be who is closer.
