Gran Turismo 5 Pushed Back to November 26th

According to Sony websites Italy, Germany, Sweden and France, GT5 has been pushed back to November 26th.

Update: Update seems to be affecting almost all of continental Europe at this point. United States and the U.K. still say the 24th of November. Your best checking your regions official PS website for confirmation.

Probably distribution issues. It's only a 2 day delay. Still sucks though.

[Ilikegames76]

can't keep up with demand. I expect this game to really sell a lot in Europe, that's why the few days delay.

[Fulensenca]

No, it is not a distibution issue. It is that it' s normal for games to be released on Friday in UE. People never go in a shop asking for new games if it is not yet Friday because already know they won' t find new games.

[LiquifiedArt]

I need my GT5 in time for Thanksgiving!

[jerethdagryphon]

uk release day is always a friday unless special reasons

so it makes sense

[Fulensenca]

I don' t understand why people here is so surprised XD I can' t believe it ...

Where they were when the other games came out in Europe?

[ian72]

GT5 is a special reason though.

[stevenhiggster]

Still says 24th for UK though and I hope it stays like that! I know its only 2 days and it won't kill me but Wed is my day off and I'm looking forward to it :-D

[Shazz]

They confirmed it and answered a good few questions on u.s and uk blogs and stated it was a definite for the 24 th so it's gonna look bad if they change it again but hopefully they won't .

[Mamajuana]

They keep pushing it back one day, every single day the day before the game is supposed to be released..and they do that for a while..lol

[Braxton5]

Aw for fuck sakes

[MGRogue2017]

It's coming out on Oct. 24th UK / US

[PS360PCROCKS]

Oh really? Maybe you need to click on the links.

Releasedatum: 26 November 2010
Date de sortie: 26 Novembre 2010
Udgivelsesdato: 26 November 2010

I'm not lying, the official playstation sites are changing the dates.

[MGRogue2017]

It could be a site error, Nobody uses that site for reliable info. Polyphony Digital & game shopping sites all say the 24th.. so I'm going with them.

[vhero]

Shopto have confirmed the 24th is still the date and they have already started receiving stock. So it's not a stock issue so no reason to push back for UK and I would guess the same for US this is all down to a language issue no doubt.
Also @PS360wiirocks the irony of you saying check links to people and yet you don't??
http://de.playstation.com/p...
thats the German site.
http://uk.playstation.com/p...
UK site

So stop being a 360 fanboy and get a life. Also every one of them links on N4G say 24th November...

[kumashii38]

well, they should announce the release date after this game is actually released. lol

[Lirky]

I honestly think Gt franchise could be scared of the forza motorsport brand/franchise. Since how when gt5 releases then forza could possibly topple it.

However if forza somehow came out before gt5 then gt5 would seem better on-top in terms of the main quality in brand franchise.

I think gt5 should release though since Forza is just an arcade simulator racing game, gran turismo is a Driving simulator game.

Arcade simulation u can include cutesy decals and tons of fun customization features, driving simulators u cant do that it needs to be too serious.

[Mmmkay]

drugs can do that to you...

[nskrishna2]

This is to take care of those custom rims cuz if you can't change the rims, its not a real sim at all...according to some people here....

[Orionsangel]

How hard is it to just release a game?

[AXAXAX]

We're all at the midnight launch
"dude, wheres the game at?
"Ahh... sorry guys, we just received an email from Sony..... can you come back tomorrow night?"

[Sayai jin]

That sucks.

[muzzy]

Games are always released on Friday in Europe so I was surprised to see Wednesday at first. Now it makes sense. Anyway, most Internet shops ship games 2-3 days before the official release date to satisfy customers.

[Masterchef2007]

At least it was only by a few days no big deal

[TheWretched]

The German site does NOT say 26th, but still 24th of November!

http://de.playstation.com/p...

[kasasensei]

Looks like they have printed the disc on the wrong side.

[irepbtown]

Loool, Quality.

[MrBuffalo]

The only email I've had is one from Amazon saying it'll be with me on the 24th.

[PirosThe4th]

mmm k... i going to buy it in january cuz i am leaving for holidays... damn... not enough for all games coming out next year...

[NBT91]

If it's true.... FUUUCKKK OFFFFF

[Memo-Xen x3100]

Anyone who is seriously upset about this 2 day(OMFG) delay needs to evaluate themselves.

[nackno]

I am actually glad as the 25th is payday here in Sweden =)

[Cogan1]

There is seriously some stupid people on this site. When in the history of fucking movie's and games has there been something released on wednesdays? Release days are on fridays which is the 26th, always have been. thats a fact for UK and Ireland, things might be different in different parts of Europe but the norm is friday.

[NeloAnjelo]

WTF SONYYYYYYYYY??? !!!!

[nikoado]

The wait for GT5 is long, especially towards the end.

+Bubs for who gets the reference ;)

But it's worth it because I'll be playing this game for years, just like I did for GT4.

[Simco876]

2 days is going to translate into probably about 14 months of gameplay.

If I wanted this game on release day, I wouldn't mind waiting another 2 days.

[MrChow666]

wtf come on thats enough, they are driving every1 crazy

[dkgshiz]

These delays are getting to be a little much.

[llMurcielagoll]

It has been pushed back 2 days. No big deal to be honest. Though on Amazon the release date didn't change. It is either a rumor or as I recall Amazon aren't really fast at updating release dates.

For example when GT5 was delayed earlier this month, Amazon estimated the release date of December 31st. But when I looked at an article saying it will be released on the 24th of November, took around 2 or 3 days for it to update on Amazon.

[Gamescares]

What a complete joke, could they balls the release of this game up any more? I reckon it can slip another 8 times before it gets released.... at least. F*cking pathetic and all involved need a smack up the side of the face with a wet kipper.

JUST RELEASE THE F*CKING GAME MUPPETS!

[Der_Kommandant]

It was pushed back more than Jenna Jameson

[CoryHG]

The link n4g posted says the 24th. Are you just trying to stir up to get traffic n4g? Fail. I'll be playing this a week from now and will sleep thru thanksgiving.

[JordanBlack68]

Check the sites again, they say 24th of November not 26th.

[SephireX]

I live in Ireland so 24th of November for me. Who cares about Franch and Germany! I'll see you online next week. I'm buying a steering wheel just for this game. You're all going down town!

[TheLastGuardian]

I wish they would release it in december. Sorry guys, I don't get my first paycheck til december and I don't want to hear how great the game is until I'm playing it.

[vTuro24]

They just had to push it back one more time didn't they?

[bashesh]

but all the links provided with this article indicate release date to be 24th November. Why is everybody saying 26th ? This article looks like a hoax to me

[ScarT]

Has changed the release date back to the 24th.

[2 cents]

Only someone who never played gt before can complain about the delay. The GT franchise and delays goes hand in hand like banana and honey. U guys forgot the GT4 release?
Anyway it will be on 24th, trust me.

[Duxer]

It's still 24th!! What are you talking about. Fail article.

[Abu]

This is not the behaviour of a world class software company. Do they employ 10 year olds in the marketing dept?

[cb4g]

Why? Are you looking for employment?

[Duxer]

Why the disagree? Look at the article! It's still 24th. You can't disagree on facts.

[silkrevolver]

It wouldn’t be GT5 if it didn’t get pushed back in some region at least one more time. Oh will... it’ll still be epic.
