I'm kinda saddened that he got it wrong, I'm pretty sure last year someone said they would eat their hat if Boz was right, and damn, I wanted to see someone eat a hat!

Haha!

The only problem for me now is the ?150 set aside for the beginning of the month isn't there any more.

Might need to drop from the sig edition to collectors, we'll see.

Either way the release being kept quiet until the game was shipped was a good idea to keep the naysayers quiet this time around :p

I've got ?3 to go towards GT5 at this moment in time, so yea, unlucky you for possibly not having the most expensive one. :p

Might have to trade in some games at this point, which I'm never a fan of, but I can always buy them off eBay in 7 years for ?4 with P&P, lol.

Meh, no Australian release date...as usual we get screwed over :( any money says Australia has to wait to March '11 (yes I know it's been officially announced but for NA, JP and EU only). Not happy...

EDIT: Glad to see the two Holdens made it into the game (VY SS Commodore and Monaro CV8) however, a bit bummed the two Falcons didn't make the cut (FPV GT and FPV F6 Typhoon)...so much for the rumor there were going to be more Aussie cars this time around. They didn't even include the VE Commodore (in either it's Holden, HSV or Pontiac guises). All that said there is still hope Polyphony may add them later as DLC cars (I hope), just a little disappointed there are less Aussie cars in GT5 and the ones that did make it were ported from GT4. I guess most people won't care :p but perhaps some fellow Aussies also feel my pain? maybe? oh and they are all "Standard" models too...so no cockpit view either.

Hello Gadbury – The UK date will be Wednesday 24th November, not long now…

we are getting it 24th of November :p

EDIT2: I did some more digging, the December dates aren't even for GT5!! UK is getting GT5 Nov 24th as previous stated and Australia's release date is currently TBC. The game has been classified by the OFLC, so just a matter of Sony Australia announcing an Australian street date.

Thanksgiving weekend is going to be amazing. Four days of nothing but food and GT5! (Y)

confirmed on US blog too:

1031 Cars Confirmed. List here:

(take out duplicates and it's 31 cars) :) j/k

Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah... say hey hey.. gooooooooooooooooodbye hater! :laugh:

Ok current rumors have Australia's release date as November 25th*. We should get an official announcement from Sony Australia on Monday I'd say.

* The official release date for GT5 in Australia is still TBC at the moment.

Really? You thought that Boz, who predicted the BluRay's demise by the hand of HDDVD, was going to guess something right? LOL

Really psyched to get my hands on this game, and even more excited we have a concrete release date, and it is this month! Already pre-ordered on Amazon for $40 (let's just hope they do not mess up the release day shipping) thanks to the $20 credit I just got from Black Ops. For whatever reason, I really got into GT5 Prologue. That was the first more simulation heavy racer I was actually able to enjoy, and I truly have tried them all. I even spent $150 on the MS Wireless Racing wheel for the 360, as I so wanted to get into Forza. And it just never happened. But for some reason, I finally "got it" with GT5 Prologue. I was able to ride a fully clean race, which I never, ever was able to do in any other sim game. So considering Prologue was an absolute joke compared to what GT5 actually is, if I get into it anywhere near as much as I did with Prologue, this is going to be a game I play for a long, long, long time to come. Also, this is truly one of the reasons I had decided to purchase a PS3 to begin with, so it has been a long time coming for this game.

This is one of the flagship titles and surely will not disappoint. Should be fun and addicting Larry. (Y)

Sony Australia has this morning confirmed the Australian release date for Gran Turismo 5, after it was announced for the US and Europe last night.

Gran Turismo 5 will be released in Australia on November 25, one day after the US, but with the time difference, it is roughly the same day.

November 25, that's only 13 sleeps away!

Hey Larry, I think there are tens of thousands (or more) people just like you (and me). I too bought my PS3 specifically for this upcoming day and this game. GT titles have always had some sort of magic feeling to them since their inception. Much of it has to do with the gear heads out there that enjoy gaming. I have been buying, driving, and racing cars IRL for 23 years. I have had a Car & Driver/Motor Trend/Road and Track in my hands for nearly 25 years. GT had started to bring what was on the road and print, and put it onto the TV first, allowing you to experience hundreds of beautiful pieces of Automotive Technology at your finger tips in the comfort of your home.

GT5 Prologue is a great (short) game, and I suspect GT5 final will be that much better with an endless focus on the attention to detail in automotive bliss. Oddly enough, the two games that get played the most out of my game library is Forza and GT. That is current library and past. Those games are like virtual cargasms for me.

    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99.

The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node.

If you're covering a larger home or want more nodes, the 3-pack is $329.99 and the 4-pack is $479.98, both at similar discount levels. It's worth mentioning that a newer model exists, which is likely the reason for the discount, but the Pro 6E is still perfectly capable hardware for most homes.
