Gran Turismo 5

Not to be unduly optimistic, but that's not really confirming anything. Sony is denying it and saying it's a placeholder for one. For two, everyone's using a different placeholder.

If the date listed was December 28 or January 4 I'd take it as a bit closer to confirmation - games are always released Tuesdays, and I've talked to a few retailers who are so attuned to this that they don't even get game stock any other day. Also, nobody's open December 31 or January 1, bad day for a major release.
 
When I saw that on GTPlanet I counted how many discs are being made per minute, well 30 seconds but multiplied by 2, it's making well over 100 every minute. One would hope they are making them that fast or faster.

I ordered it with the guaranteed release date delivery option. IF the game actually does come out on the 31st, how will they deliver it? USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc. are all closed. Not that I case since they did give me a refund for the shipping. All $0.99 of it.
 
Well if the discs are being stamped and boxed now, you usually leave 3-4 weeks for a good initial production run, so we may have these in our hands mid-December.

But that's a total guess.
 
They even modeled the wrong engine placement (modified for James Bond: Casino Royale) on the 747 at Dunsfold. Wow. Higher res?

Does that mean it's possible to have all those cars on one track at the same time? That pic shows 96 freakin cars on one freakin track at the same freakin time. :jawdrop:

I'm sure that's just a shot used for promotion reasons. I don't think they could get that many on at once in the finished product.

Could be a contract reason. I know Boing has one Ubisoft.
