    So in summary, if you live outside of Japan, this news means nothing at all.. Rather unsurprising the Sony hating western media have jumped all over this “non-news” like a bad rash…

    @Mark

    Wow think you jumped the gun a little there!

    Most of us GT gamers were likeley to import, so this is big news that we want to know.

    And the fact that Japan with their official date has been postponed from what is apparently “production” problems, then we could very likely see a delay in the US and EU regions too.

    This isn’t Sony hating media taking advantage of a statement from accross the globe, this is media reporting on a very VERY hot subject which many people want to know asap if it could mean a possible delay to a highly anticipated title.

    Oh plus we still don’t have an official date in the EU and US, its still a vague “summer” release.

  • Nice

    I take what they’re (Sony) saying with a grain of salt. Sony wants to space out their exclusive line-up so their schedule isn’t backloaded, as their fiscal year ends in March: this would seem a little risky with all of the big budget titles coming out first and third parties. Nah, they’re just spacing things out to mitigate risk and optimize profit. No word on western release delays would indicate this and would suggest a possible simultaneous worldwide release… which would be a win win. IMHO

    Also Play.com still have it listed for a release of 05/03/2010, therefore if it wasn’t for this article many would still be under the wrong impression.

    Sony are taking the piss.
    They are keeping us waiting, in order to prolong the anticipation and to create a whole new customer base, once initial sales of the PS3 start to drop-off.
    I might get an X-Box and switch to Forza.
    Screw Sony.
