Gamestop had it listed for December ’09 as well for a while, but they’ve since moved it to February 2010. But it might as well just be listed as TBD until Sony comes out and announces when their exclusives are coming.

Based on what was pushed back from 2009 to 2010 so far, we are expecting White Knight Chronicles, Heavy Rain, MAG, The Last Guardian, God of War 3, and Gran Turismo 5 all in the first 5 months of 2010, which seems like QUITE a lot. So I wouldn’t be surprised to see a number of titles get delayed even further.

However, pushing one of these titles UP to December 2009 makes sense as well. December is going to be a pretty dead month for new games (all the big titles will be available before Black Friday).

I agree with Kyle. This is a good move. Kiddies will get a new PS3 and tons of cash and a week later will see the shiny new GT5 box.

Wetting you pants is a waste of time and requires that you wash them afterwards… GT5 will release when PD wants to release it and when that is? When it’s perfect for everyone, the car damage displayed at E-3 was minimal at best and it failed to show how that damage occured. If you watch WRC TV and see how those cars act you would know that hood/bumper damage can occur from taking a jump a little to fast, it does not indicate if the damage affected the cars driveability and if it does not affect driveability then the damage model shown is a complete failure. PD says it is a “Real Driving Simulator” but with out realworld damage it is only an ARCADE SIMULATOR.

Plus the damage needs to also cross over to the online version also since the current penalty system is a sham…

idk about this. It seems like such an odd release date to me. IMO it won’t be out until 2010

As much as I like Playstation Lifestyle i think I’m gonna wait until Sony officially announce a release date before I start getting excited about dates.

Nah, I don’t think GT5 will come out this year, even though Kazunori has already said the game can come out at almost any time now.

If GT5 does come out in 2009, I think it’ll be in Japan ONLY with Western releases in Early/Spring 2010, similar to how GT5P launched, releasing in Japan late 2007 with Western releases in the Spring of 2008.

My only worry is that Sony could push back GT5 a little bit further in 2010 (Summer) since so many games that were supposed to come out Fall this year got pushed to Early part of 2010 and at the moment, the first couple of months in 2010 is crowded with pretty big game releases: Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, God of War 3, Alan Wake, Heavy Rain, Bayonetta, Dante’s Inferno, Splinter Cell Conviction etc….

It would be awesome if God of War 3 came out during the early part of March and GT5 releasing near the end of March, and GT5 would be a VERY great way for Sony to close out their fiscal year. At GamesCon or at Tokyo Game Show, Sony REALLY needs to put a date on GT5 and I’m hoping it’s Early 2010… I would say Holiday 2009, but I just don’t think it’s gonna happen then.
