Videogamer.com is reporting that an email sent out by retailer GAME indicates that Gran Turismo 5 won't be arriving on UK shelves until 2009. So it looks like all of you hoping to see some GT racing action on your PS3s this year will be sorely out of luck.

"The legendary "Real Driving Simulator" Gran Turismo 5 is heading to PlayStation 3 in 2009, utilising the uber-console's raw horsepower to generate an unrivalled level of realism."

The email goes on to promote the release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on March 28th. The "preview" game will feature forty cars, five tracks and will be budget priced at £19.99.

But the USA won't have it before 2009 either... Very unlikely anyway! And as Jaferris said, I'll just import it, so I'm not bothered either way

The name of the thread is SO misleading and when has it ever been news to report e-mails from retailers? Most of them are educated guesses anyway.

Hahaha, yeah I know. I'm a deceptive American.

But importing GT5 for you UKers takes the fun out of gloating about it.

GAME is full of bullshit anyway, when I worked for them their release dates were always wrong no matter what they were told. If its true ill do the same as everyone else import it.

Region Free works for me. If I want a game bad enough it's nice to have the region free option.

Damn you people! It's not fun when you can still get around it!

Every game being region free is definitely an advantage the PS3 has over the 360.

He looks like something maybe disturbing him Homer: Probably misses his old glasses Marge: We could get more involved in Bart's activities, but then I'd be afraid of smothering him Homer: Yeah, and then we'd get the chair. Marge: That's not what I meant! Homer: It was Marge, admit it.
