US based Gamestop has February 2010 as the date now. Andrew Michael Medina (talk) 12:14, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

February 3, 2010 according to Gamestop as of today (Sept 3, 2009) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.192.63.2 (talk) 18:54, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this useful enough to make an entry into the release date section? http://ps3.ign.com/articles/101/1017326p1.html Apparently a Q4 2009 release was displayed on the official page for a short period of time back in August before they took it down. From some other reading, I believe it was actually the official German site.

The game will release before Christmas though. (http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/10/13/gran-turismo-5-release-update/blog.eu.playstation.com/gran-turismo-5-release-update Quintinohthree (talk) 17:01, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Game.co.uk are now advertising pre-order for December 2010 from Date Not Confirmed the other day, and gamestation.co.uk (same company) are now saying 1st of December 2010 with the advertising '38 days to go!'. Could this be the new release date from the delay a few weeks back? Aaddaamm94 (talk) 10:44, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Retail sources are not reliable when it comes to release dates, as they habitually make them up. Thanks! Fin ©™ 10:47, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Closeratio, 22 August 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} About half way through the 'Vehicles' paragraph, the sentence "Go-Karts will make their debut to the franchsie in GT5." appears. Please could this sentence be removed as this feature is already covered in the 'New Features' paragraph. The word 'franchise' is also spelt wrong, but this won't matter if the sentence is removed.

Thankyou Closeratio (talk) 17:15, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this include "GT Anywhere"

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/09/16/gran-turismo-anywhere-brings-the-web-more-features-to-gt5/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.174.171.21 (talk) 07:39, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It should be added. - SGJ91

"Cars from Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will also be transferable to GT5."

So far as I am aware, this is not true. I fairly certain that it hasn't been confirmed, and there is no source given to back up this claim. Therefore, I believe it should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tompie913 (talk • contribs) 22:17, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request from Word_Logix, November 5, 2010

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Gran Turismo 5. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

‹ The template Edit semi-protected is being considered for merging. ›

In the below bolded paragraph, there's an incorrect release date reference regarding the PS3. It infers that the PlayStation 3 was "...release until November of that year (inferring from the opening sentence year, same year as E3 2005)..."

This is not true. The PlayStation 3 was released November 11, 2006 (the following year from E3 2005).

Thus, "release until November of that year" should be changed to "release until November 11, 2006"

Also, to clarify the last sentence in the same paragraph, the claim of "not for another 3 years" should be replaced with "not until E3 2009 Press Conference" since it pinpoints an exact conference (date) rather than a vague timeframe (ex: another 3 years). The next paragraph included in the original Gran Turismo 5 article goes on with more detail regarding the E3 2009 Press Conference.

"The game was first revealed at E3 2005 under the name Vision Gran Turismo. This was not GT5 as we know it today but simply Gran Turismo 4 (for the PlayStation 2) with more cars on track and PC-rendered footage. The PlayStation 3 wouldn't release until November of that year and with no Gran Turismo game in the console's launch line-up. Various bits of information and news was revealed about the game from then on but it was not for another 3 years that the public got a chance to have a proper look at GT5."
