Dear Customer,

Your copy of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue was received late to our warehouse from Sony and has now been despatched.

As we have missed the release date we would like to offer you Ł3 off the price of Grand Theft Auto 4 coming to PlayStation 3 on April 29th.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any disappointment this may have caused and thank you for your patience and valued custom.

Kind regards,

PLAY.COM

Ordered mine this afternoon from Amazon, recieved an email a couple of hours later saying it will be here tomorrow

It is a 'prologue' to the full GT5, but with online gameplay for up to 16 players per race, so well worth the Ł18 most online stores are doing it for (given GT's history of missing deadlines... )

It's got more gameplay than many full games....i've played it for hours and hours and still haven't completed it!

be prepared to swear, shout and get very pissed off with missing the required times by 0.001secs

i love it though, and the London track is cool as fook

Order Date: 17 Mar 2008
Order #:


Recipient: Pete Mills


Items dispatched on 27 Mar 2008:
Delivery estimate: 28 Mar 2008
1 package via Royal Mail
  • 1 of: Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3)
    Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L.</SPAN>
Mine will be here tomorrow!!! Good ol` Amazon!!!!!!

Suppose theres going to be a big fuck off "PF GT5" thing tomorrow night then?!?!

Im liking "if its true",that if you complete it,you wont have to do the licences again when GT HD comes out....

Will it be like a Guitar Hero sort of thing,where you can buy car packages etc when its out,and have tracks/car updates too?? Ive also heard,that its got "Gran Turismo TV" on it,where you can watch eppisodes of Top Gear etc etc.. This true???

Delivery to shops has been delayed from what I can gather. Normally shops get them in early (Obviously), but no sign of them yet!! Maybe early delivery tomorrow.

Play.com is normally good (has been for me on the whole), but the one thing that lets them down from time to time is their delivery method - not a problem with Amazon normally, where you have several delivery options

I got my copy yesterday morning, played it for most of last night. It's a good game and well worth the 20 quid. I'm not sure about the online bit though, as far as I could figure out you can't choose who you race with..?
