Please, PD, can't you guys releasing any other "real" news on GT5 instead of working on this kind of silly stuff!

I agree 100%, we need more real information of GT5, not merchandising/marketing stuff!

:tup:

Awaits for everyone to have Nurburgring T-shirts.

I just want to know if a bundle release will happen during the gt5 actual release and not months later

So, this is just a GT add-on for Dress?

If that is the case the PD likely did more than copy their logo over to the server for the Dress devs to import into their software.

Move along, nothing to complain about here.

But now seeing that Dress does alow you to actually order a physical version of the clothes, and has GT merch, I want it.

Well the only usefull info I got from that was that the LasVegas Drag Strip 'might' be included.

Granturismo Fashion show........great.

As odd as this seems, I want officially license GT stuff and if a design-your-own-fashion game is the only way I can get it then I will do it.

 

[mafia_boy]

I'll have 1 of those Las Vegas shirts!!

Then put 7.383 on the timeslip for my GT-R Concept.

FYI, I've been working with Sony's merchandising company to design and sell officially licensed gear on GTPlanet. It will take some time to get the products approved by PD's brand managers, but watch for an announcement in the next few months.

Does this mean that FoolKiller wil be getting his "Mason" jar with GTP on the side, and if so will they come with a peach and liquid in them:idea:

Could someone explain briefly what that is? Game that you make shirts? Is it for home? or you can order in REAL thing?

For your information, the following link is the official site of the game "Dress".
http://www.jp.playstation.com/scej/title/dress/

It's a game that you can have your own design of T-shirts. Once you've finished your design and sent your order, you'll receive your real T-shirt after 5 business days. And of course, you can use the T-shirt in PlayStation HOME.

Nearly a year ago a story broke about them licensing out PlayStation IPs for apparel to a few companies. GT was one that was shown.
Here's the story:

While I know you don't have the answer, I am going to assume that those deals fell through. I am just making that guess based on the fact that a year later I have yet to see any of these apparel items and you are now working on getting something.

And in all honesty, I definitely think it would be cooler to have a GT branded shirt with a GTP logo on it somewhere too. Although, I know the likelihood of Sony allowing that is not high, I'm just saying.

Good luck on this though, I know anything you can work out will be a huge plus for the site.

 

[Jordan]

No, that's the company I'm working with now. Nothing fell through, they just haven't actively sought an online distribution channel for the products.

Oh cool. Well, I will quit looking for them in stores (have you seen them anywhere?) and wait to see what happens with you.

I've only seen licensed gear in the PlayStation Store at the Metreon in San Francisco, but that was a few years back (before this company came in to the picture).

It isn't there for long. They announced last week that it is closing.

That is pretty cool. Will this game come to the US?
How much would it cost for normal T-shirt with GT logo?
