New Releasedate for GT 5 : 25th September 09 ?

[kolt]

hi,
festwürstchen from the maniac.de forum found this out.

major uk resellers have updated the release date of gt 5:
09/25 ShopTo
09/25 simplygames
09/25 thehut / Asda / zavvi / sendit
09/25 currys
09/25 gameplay
09/25 cdwow
09/25 Play.com

Coincidence?

hmm could be. considering they where dating dec through to march and it looks like opm have had a chance to preview it.

Could just be that one put out the date, the next guy copied him and so forth. We will get an official release date when there is an official announcment, until then everything is pure specualtion and I doubt the shops will have the date before the announcment.

Exactly what I was going to type.

play.com employee nr.1:

hey guys.. there was this E3 GT5 concept trailer and i got 3-4 calls yesterday asking when this is out.. what shall we estimate?

play.com employee nr.2:

Dude, put it on 09/25 so we can get some pre-orders in even though we dont have the faintest idea when this is coming out anyway lol

play.com employee nr.1:

lol, cool.. done

gameplay employee nr 1:

hey guys look, play.com has GT5 dated for 09/25.. is this true?

gameplay employee nr 2:

Nah, they cant know that.. but we have to compete, copy/paste that date and let's use it as well then

cdwow:

all these bigger shops have it set for 09/25.. let's do the same.

etc, etc, etc.

Haha, sorry if that was me being a ass.. but im just trying to say, they dont know the date.. i even doubt sony and PD have a date right now.. and they sure as hell are not going to call play.com, cdwow or simplygames first to let them know when it is coming out.

Sony and PD might not have a date, but they damn well better have an idea/ a specific quarter. That's not a threat lol, that's just smart business. Seriously, how could they NOT know?

They do.. and call it fiscal year 09 if im not mistaken.. ends in march 2010.

Oh yea, I'm aware of the time frame. Ever since amar's post, I still think it'll be December (1st maybe).

 

[Worst_Driver]

I don't think that retailers know the exact release date. We will have a solid release date when sony will make an official annoncement.

No.

It could be the release date - it is, after all, a date which is in the future. But if it is, it'll be a fluke and not because of inside information.


Have a look at any game we don't know the release date of but which you can preorder. MAG? Play.com say 27th November - there's no official release date. Agent? Play.com say 29th January - there's no official release date.

If you can preorder it, they'll give you an approximate date. It's NOT going to be the real, confirmed one.

Still true two days later.
