3D TV Bundle Ad ‘Guarantee’s’ Gran Turismo 5 by Christmas
Last week, one of the fall’s biggest titles, Gran Turismo 5, was delayed, disappointing fans everywhere who had already begun ticking days off their calendar. Word was sent out to expect it this ‘holiday’, and now a Sony advertisement puts a ‘guarantee’ on that statement.
Sony Australia has issued a promotion on their Bravia 3D TV line that will instantly get the first 21,000 people a copy of GT5, among other items, before Christmas. Basically all that you need to do is purchase a Bravia 3D TV and submit proof of purchase to Sony to get in on the deal. Once you do that you’re entitled to a shiny new 160GB PS3, two pairs of 3D glasses and a 3D transmitter, two 3D movies, four downloadable PS3 games vouchers, and one highly anticipated racing title.
As this is not the first time the title has been delayed, hopefully this guarantee can appease the many fans looking for some reassurance that there game is, in fact, coming.
But if you’re in Australia, and looking to hop on the third dimension train, we doubt you’ll find a better opportunity than this in the near future. This deal extends to the first 21,000 participants, so before you run out and drop $2,500+, make sure you check the promo site to guarantee there’s still a spot for you.

heh, so what happens when they break that guarantee? er… I meant, if… they break it.
It says guaranteed delivery by Christmas if you order before Nov. 30. I think they’re talking about the TV.
It’s a bundle..
Well, sort of, but it’s a bundle which is based around a TV which costs between $2,299 and $6,499. It’s like a car salesman guaranteeing that your car – and the bonus free floor mats – will be delivered by Christmas if you order before Nov. 30. Personally, I don’t think they’re basing that delivery date on the availability of the floor mats.
Even still – they’ve already said they’d have GT5 before the end of the year. They’re not going to miss it. They can’t. They’d get too much crap for it.
Plus Q1 of 2011 is already too crowded.
True – as crowded as my wallet will be empty
ya, everyone just needs to calm down, if it wasn’t a short delay they would have known long before last week that they weren’t going to make the release date. I would say it has to be something simple that will only delay it by a month at the most. I don’t remember where I read it, but I know I saw somewhere that it only had to be delayed because the current version of the game didn’t work well with the latest PS3 firmware update…so that should be a simple fix.
I think GT5 will be delayed until summer 2011..t..hink about it…if it misses X-mas, there’s no point of releasing this year, at all. The next season that won’t be too crowded? Summer. No way Sony would release GT5 before June if it gets delayed for next year.
