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.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
