**** this ****.

If I told my boss i'd be at work at 9am, then rang at 3 and said I wouldn't be there until midday, then rang at 11am and told him I wouldn't be there until 4pm then called at 3.45pm and said I wouldn't be there until 5. I think my boss would tell me not to worry about coming in today or ever. I'll still buy it, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't but polyphony can suck my ****.

Agreed, if it wasn't going to be so damn good I would not buy it in protest!

Whats worse is they never give a good reason, or any at all! I was even going to schedule my trip to Tas a couple of days after it was released so I can have a quick go before I left...ah..******.

Thing is they know people will buy it so they can make up any excuse they want for the delay like.
'My uncles, cousins, mums, mates sisters, cousins, dad had a broken fretz and couldnt come to work for a month. So the game was delayed

Its just odd that a game that has been in development for so long can be stopped 3 weeks out from shipping.

Now if we look at the logistics how long do they leave it before the Blu rays are burnt, covered and shipped? I thought they were going for a world wide launch so surely they would leave atleast a week to get it around...you cant be changing it that late in the cycle.

If it has anything to do with 3D ill be ****ed, no one wants it!

Oh well looks like i'll have more time to save up for the G27 wheel and build myself a little cockpit... Lucky I didn't put in for annual leave on the day of 'anticipated' release!

Just gotta spend more time playing NHL 11

I reckon that is the cause of the delay.

>> M2 Research’s Billy Pidgeon: ”Another delay on Gran Turismo........ I wouldn’t revise PS3 uptake estimates on this news as it is still possible GT5 is released in Q4 2010 or Q1 2011 and is likely to spur new and upgrade console sales. Sony has set the visuals bar pretty high with Gran Turismo,” he offered, “so it is crucial that the graphics (as seen on HDTV and in stereoscopic 3D with camera-based head tracking) impress the critics and the fans. Gran Turismo 5’s timely release is perhaps even more crucial to Sony’s 3D TV division than it is to PS3. In-store demos of GT5 may be the best case Sony can make to consumers for 3D TV.”

It must just be a simple bug, as they are only delaying it a month. Probably 3D, dam this game better be good

What crap though, how many people are actually going to use the 3D? Id be stuffed if I am wearing glasses watching TV inside.

Would have been nice if the 99% of us could just get the non 3D version.

Meh - predicted it would be delayed, it'll come as a shock to me when it does get released. It's the Duke Nukem of racing games. Forza will probably bang out another version before GT5.

Which is why I will stick with my 360 at the moment. GT5 probably won't be released until the PS4 is finished.
