FFS, it's delayed again:

Via the official PlayStation US Blog:

We can confirm that Gran Turismo 5 will not be available this November 2nd, but the game?s release will be coming this holiday season.

We sincerely apologize to GT fans for the delay, however, creator Kazunori Yamauchi and the team at Polyphony Digital want to make certain they are creating the perfect racing experience, and we are confident that this ambitious game will exceed expectations when it launches.

Expect this delay to apply to all regions around the world ? I will update this post as other official sources continue to update for Europe, Asia, and Australia/NZ.

so what do you guys are going to play then ?

Probably anything that supports PlayStation Move, as I'm picking it up tonight. :)

Also, Rock Band 2, as the stockpile of Microsoft Points I ordered turned up today and have been redeemed, so they'll be going mostly to DLC for that. :p (With the slight exception of exporting the LEGO Rock Band songs to RB2)

Am I the only one who's not getting p'ed off over this delay? It's still coming out this year. At the most, it's a seven or eight week delay. We've officially waited 231 weeks already (basically, since E3 2006, when it was first announced as "Vision Gran Turismo"), or 4 years and 5 months, so surely a few extra weeks of waiting won't kill you?

No but it's annoying as hell and is upsetting when they've finally pinned down a date and then move it again.

Some people take time off work, we pre-order, we plan ahead some times and we look forward to game releases like it's Christmas. Imagine telling your kids Christmas was moved "a month, you'll live".

You are not the only one that is p'd, but I am not one of them. It is what it is. I will get it when I get it.

This had to be in the works for some time now. No way you can delay a game 17 days before release. It has to take at-least a month or more to get the game to production and burned to BluRay and then sent to distributors. Either something major really did happen or the 2nd Nov release date was BS from the start. I am ****ed because I went and bought a PS3 just for this release. Once a release date was set I committed.

like I said, yesterday I took November 3th to 9th off. That's what ****es me of the most.

Some people are saying it's a marketing delay, because the game IS complete but was going to be release at the same time as kinect and black ops. They knew in advance they were going to delay the game. Come on it's supposed to be manufactured already and ready to ship. You can't delay a game less than 20 days before release like that.

    • 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"
