Wow after watching the trailer for this game, just wow. I'm kinda angry it's only a Playstation exclusive. Hope Microsoft sees this and does a better job with Forza which is beautiful and great but this just blows it away. The test track from Top gear too, wow.

Forza is about as close as you're going to get. :p

Forza will be getting the TopGear Test Track too (since they have also signed a deal with TopGear) however, no idea when since Polyphony currently have the exclusive rights to it (for how long I don't know). I expect Forza 4 to be a big leap forward, the guys at Turn 10 aren't gonna just sit there and let Polyphony take the crown without a fight, expect big things from Forza 4 is all I'm saying ;) this of cause will be great for us gamers, abit of rivalry between the top games in the genre will only result in better games for us! so bring it on I say :happy:

555,000 Copies of GT5 for France, New Launch Party Date

Gran Turismo 5 November 6th, 2010 by Jordan

I don’t have any specific updates about the GT5 disc revealed yesterday, but that hasn’t stopped quite a few interesting tidbits from bubbling up around the world. First up, word from “distribution sources” indicate more than half a million copies of Gran Turismo 5 are headed to France. More specifically, there will be 400,000 standard copies, 100,000 Collector’s Editions, and 5,000 Signature Editions available in the country. (Amazon.fr is still taking SE reservations, so hop on that if you’re interested.)

Also, GT5’s big Madrid launch party has a new date of November 24th/25th. As you may recall, the launch party was first scheduled for October 26th/27th. Considering the party was to be held exactly one week before the game’s intended worldwide launch, a release during the week of November 29th – December 3rd is beginning to look extremely likely. This release window aligns perfectly with what I’ve been told before and Sony’s own retail outlet, SonyStyle, who lists a launch date “on or around” November 30th for the game. Regardless, it’s becoming clear we don’t have much longer to wait.

Thanks to all who sent these stories in!

Lucky French! looks like they might be getting it soon! however, I'm still expecting March '11 for Australia...due to the immense popularity of this game and with the game only being printed now, I fully expect shortages and regions like Australia will be pushed back to allow the more important regions (i.e. NA, JP and EU) to get their copies first. I hope I'm wrong because I want my copy now!! however, as I said in a previous post a delay will actually work in my favor.

STILL waiting for official announcement from Sony AND when Amazon has the product delivered to my front door from UPS. Until then, negative.

It's not out til it's out :p

Right now, it's not out :p

What they said. I'm still awaiting the announcement from Sony. From all the articles I've read, it's a safe bet that it won't be released until the second week of December, at least.

    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
