OPM France next month cover

February or March next year would be ideal. By that time, the GT Mobile hype will have settled down.
I strongly disagree and feel Feb, March would be the worst time to release GT5.

As I said in the thread that was locked! Sony are relying on GT5 being a console seller. This is why I say no chance to Feb, March because many are usually short of cash after xmas anyway let alone during this global recession. This is why I believe the 27th November release date because this just so happens to coincide with the peak xmas shopping period. However short of money the general public are during these difficult times many still spend around the xmas period.

What im expecting is a PS3 price drop to coincide with the release of GT5 and this to occur on Friday 27th November.
 
You must be right about the release and a pricedrop being at the same time.

How stupid is Sony if the wont take advantage of gt5 release.

DLC??? Sorry but what does this mean?

Downloadable content.

For example:

After the release of the game polyphony digital could release a track and cars pack with new tracks and cars to drive.

While the end of November would be an ideal time to put GT5 on the market, I think October or September would work as well, and even better. This is why.

Having Gran Turismo 5 out as early as possible would mean an immediate load of cash for SONY/PD from those of us with a steady supply of disposable income who will buy it as soon as possible. PS3s and wheel controllers will get an early boost in sales as well. It will practically advertise itself, but along with a holiday ad campaign and a price drop for PS3, the game will have a further boost in sales, along with PS3s for Christmas. Those of us who bought it for ourselves can devote at least one more buy to a key PS3 game, such as Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, inFamous, MAG, an RPG or whatever.

Plus, it would deliver a pillow to the face of Microsoft who has a similar game coming out about the same time. :D

Releasing a game before the middle of November isn't a bad thing. Ratchet & Clank Future ToD was released in October 2007, and sold over a million units within five months. I think GT5 might be able to top that. ;)

I totally agree with what you are saying however, I wonder how did you put an exact date such as Nov 27th? Why not 26th or 28th?
 
Uhm, just to ask..
Is someone of France here willing to update us on the 27th?
Thanks

Do you know that they will sell that magazine in Belgium too?
I'm gonna get it the 27/06 and try to make some scans of it,
at my work, will try to put this info on the same date on this
site...
 
Everyone is probably going to be hungry for that first page scan, to see if there's a car from GT5 with damage. Especially if it's like the MR2, a street car. The one in the preview scan is pretty heavily damaged, and it really seems that these European mags know something juicy that hasn't been revealed yet.

Oui il sera disponible le 27 je vais acheter mes OPM même le samedi.

Traduction: yes it'll be available the 27th, I buy my OPM's even the satudays.
 
This is promising news indeed if it isn't fake (which wouldn't surprise me given the pic used).

Ok thanks,
I'll look for it...
But it comes in closed package isn't it?
If it's just a E3 thing it's not really worth it..
(I'm only interested in GT5 info)
But if there's something new,
I'll buy it
 
Or learn French, we have a little over a week...



*nose pressed in "French for dummies"*

*Jay V's number on speed dial ready to call him and ask what it says*
 
Google translater is your friend

If you want to ask a pretty girl "where do you flush the duck on a Wednesday."



Google translator doesn't work all that well. It gets most but not all.
 
yes that's right.. we need our french and belgium people ready at the stores when the mag hits the store.
We need full documentation, videos, pics, translators and live rapports once the day has come.

Or scans and info.. either way.
 
Obliged study of French in Belgian schools eventually seems to have a point...

we have the same in the UK, but without the point. I'll be damned if I can remember enough french to translate despite 4 years of learning and an A grade at the end!

looking forward to seeing what revealed none-the-less.
 
To some of you prediction experts, Sony is aiming to sell around 13 mil consoles during their financial year so if they want to meet that goal than November price cut will be too late. They will need that cut around August as rumored and starting September all the games will start flowing steadily until xmas and they have a chance to meet their goal. What I'm saying is simultaneous cut and GT5 release won't happen. End of November release seems like a reality in this case, I really hope it's October though so all T10 devs could line up and eat each others hats.

Don't hate me, I'm just trying to look at it all realistically.
 
A fiscal year is not necessary a calendar year, so november doesn't sound that late.

March to March, I'm sorry but with price cut as late as November I don't see Sony meet their target. But it's getting off of the point of this thread, my opinion based on that observation is that simultaneous price cut and GT5 release won't happen.

Do we. French isn't obligatory in School here. We get to pick the language/s we want to learn.
