Poor guy. He's probably going to jail for doing what Sony didn't.

Nah. If he bought it legit, its not his fault. If he stole it from factory, that's another story.

I don't know what the hell they're waiting for. The fact that the game is actually being sold by people and not just one copy but multiple copies should scare the shit out of them. It's their biggest game and it's already being sold before they've even announced a release date.

If anything, it seems like they want to do a "In Stores TODAY" announcement

Well the PS3 slim inexplicably turned up in the Philippines before its official launch, so I guess Sony just now say.."oh look! Another of our products has hit the black market! Huh. More sherry, Mr. Hirai?"

I think that's wishful thinking, I think sony just is having trouble making PR for a world wide release in early december.

You need SCEA, SCEE, SCEJ all on the same page and all working together.

Sony's silence on the whole thing is really stupid, unless they want to make sure everything's in place before they announce the new date.

The only thing sony made sure of this far is to screw their fanbase.

I'm certainly no expert in marketing, but I hope they had at least SOME plans for promotion, as it was expected to be released this week? If we're looking at a release late november / early december, they wouldn't have to re-invent everything.

On a side note: I can't believe how glued I've been to this forum for updates. Has this been the same for other big releases? People so desperate for blurry movies?

Didn't some japanese guy go to jail just recently because he shared new Pokémons from a Pokémon game that wasn't in stores yet? Videogames are pretty serious business.

Because he posted screens, which is a copyright infringement if Nintendo chooses it to be so. Same here with people posting vids of GT5.

Theft is serious business.

How else are people getting it? It hasn't been sent out to reviewers or stores and currently has no release date.

it is look in the video you can clearly see the car in front of it through the side windows
you could always slightly see through the windows in GT4, its a standard car

We dont think its in stores yet. But if it being shipped and some store actually got some, they may break the release date. It happens all the time.

If they are indeed aiming for a "In stores now!" announcement, then it is conceivable some may have actually received it. And by trying to do it tomorrow, they could rain on COD's parade. I dont know for what purpose as they are not even in the same genre, but whatever.

But you are right, if they are not shipping yet, then the only reasonable explanation seems to be theft.

This is hilarious, but you guys will be happy soon enough.

Do you know something we don't?

Knowing Sony and Activision broken relationship, I will put my tin foil hat and say Sony will announce the date tomorrow just to kill the Black Ops hype a little bit, but without my tin foil I'm guessing Sony is making sure that they have enough copies in stores to fulfill demand in the new release date before announcing that date.

What GT5 needs is more underwhelming videos of the final product like that right before release :lol Bravo Sony, bravo!
 
I have a feeling someone in this thread will own GT5 before the end of the week. Just seems inevitable that at least one copy will wind up in someone's hands here.

Sony makes something like $7 per copy of COD sold. Trying to hurt COD would be very dumb (as well as ineffective).
 
I hope this trophy list is real based on the fact it has no ridiculous online trophy requirements. UC2 was the best way to handle online only trophies, just give each mode a go once, boom, done. None of this level 50 shit on online races.

I must platinum GT5 out of principle alone.
 
Those trophies are great if real.

The Nur track time one is going to be interesting due to the way 'record' lap times are recorded versus how the track is ran in the game.

Just an aside, I was looking for something new to play, browsing through stuff on PSN. How is it possible neither the original GT or GT2 are on PSN as PSOne Classics? I'd totally download GT1 or 2 if they were up.

Might be a licensing thing. Music, cars or both.

EDIT: way beaten.

I woke up this morning with no expectations of GT5 trophies, yet I find myself clamoring for those hidden trophies! This is cruel, no other word describes it.
