My small opinion is that GT6 is finished by now. Don't wait for official GOLD status, that is always few days after "real" deadline. (One guy had GT5 in 8th november - retail version, and after this incident in that same day got GT5 GOLD status..). I think that it takes about 3 weeks to print and deliver hundreds of copies to the shops.

I reckon 48 hours tops.

Here is how this works (if not mentioned earlier)

The gold master(s) will leave around that time, that's the from japan part. Someone will drive the disk to the airport shipping facility, a warehouse right on the runway... Where it will be sent to all the shipping warehouses.

Waiting for the disk is all the preprinted "box and docks" waiting for freshly printed disks (still warm)... If we knew where the disks were being printed I could be more accurate.

Before the end of the following day, all stores on the east coast will get the game in their afternoon shipments, west coast the very next morning. All main warehousing is in the easy and the trucks will be waiting with the engines running...

It's very fast if Sony is paying for that kind of expedite and demand is high enough. If demand is lower its only an additional 24 hours... But it's ridiculously expensive, but breaking street dates so soon lead to penalties by retail so sometimes it's the lessor of 2 evils.

I've done this a few times with my game launches but it was over ten years ago... So it could be even faster now....

Those of you that order next day shipping with actually get it ahead of time as it ships straight from the distributer and isn't being hauled in bulk...

Also, I find this thread unnecessary. Haven't we got a general questions thread yet like in previous sections of GTP for the other games?

Not sure I get your point... Or why you're making it on my post... I'm being informative with credible experience sharing what most might not know/understand... And lending some confidence in the that the gold can be up to 48 hours prior to retail in the worst of cases...

I wouldn't even give it two thoughts hey. Some not while most of us appreciate info from someone who has experience in this field
 
There's no much info about it, but I think it has just gone Gold. During the Tokio Motor Show we've seen a recent build which seems rather finished. Anyway before December comes it should be confirmed. Some say that it may be available for some people on November 29th, 30th.
 
In one of Kaz's recent interviews with Jordan, he said it wasn't gold yet and I might not be until the last week before launch.
