I'm sticking with the conspiracy theory that GT5 was not released on Nov. 2 due to the Nov. 2 elections. I am not a racist so please don't take this the wrong way, But if young white republicans are considered to be the core consumers for the game in America, especially now that they have added Nascar.
I can see why some powerful Republicans with connections could have arranged for the game to be post-poned. just think about the millions of votes the Rep. party would have lost if their young voters were inside playing GT5 for days. Its Nov. 9, the game was supposed to be released on the 2nd, it had to be ready for its Nov 2nd release if there are final versions of the game surfacing around the globe.
So why the delay......and secondly why not any information on why it was delayed, a new release date etc. I know I smoke a lot of LEGAL @!#$%^%$@ and can get a little paranoid at times, but there is definitely something fishy going on with all this. But hey, I just bought 2K11 last week, and Black Ops today, I'm straight!!!
And if GT5 is not out before NFS hot pursuit they may have lost a sale. I might still buy it but it will definitely be later then sooner, and to all you HARDCORE GT fans, please take it easy, don't let Sony/Pd effect you all like this, its just a friggen video game! I've been reading some of your post and some of them sound really sad, go out and enjoy life, take your girl to the movies or something. Sony obviously does'nt give two craps about how you feel or they would have given you some information by now!
