To be fair, he wasn't far off the mark, and certainly closer to the real date than the rest of the GH crowd over the years. Either way, this release will be remembered for being a shambles.

It will be remembered as a landmark racing sim actually ;)

Release. Not game.

L2read? :D

Meh, who cares about the release now that it's 11 days away.

If anyone is still upset about waiting 5 years, here's an apology for you to feel better

"Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Programme!" commented Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital Inc. "When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with GT5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologise to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed."

Oh come on AB... you know as well as anyone else that they will still find a way to throw a backward spin on it (apology or not).

Many hours are about to be wasted away in front of this game. So excited. :woot:

Like it or lump it, people will remember. Just like the 360 will be remembered for RRoD, PS3 for $700, PS2 for Disc read error, Wii for waggle, GC for being kiddy etc etc etc.

Or Haze, Orange Box, Lair etc being awful.

I didn't say it'll detract from being a good game. I'll call it now and I bet the first paragraph from the majority of reviews will start with the delays/dev time.

Not much into racing games, but this seems like a must buy.

All the videos lately have looked amazing. I love how they got the mist from the tires in rain to actually blow the same way the wind is, and just how everything looks with the weather.

Looks like I have to either figure out how to get the Microsoft FF wheel I have to work on the ps3, or buy a FF wheel very soon lol.

Most likely saying the dev time was a good thing given the scope and end product.

And the ps3 was $599 ;)

^maybe, IMO nothing has really given mass effect 2 a run for it's money yet this year.

i honestly don't remeber the last collectors edition of a game i got, unreal tournament 3 maybe? (definitely not worth it, that game was sooo disappointing). This one alone for the model of my dream car (new skyline/gt-r) is enough for me to spend the extra 40 bucks.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
