^ Magnificent ! This is a prime example why Polyphony to me, will always be the greatest producers of games/sims in the industry, the amount of detail, refinement and love in this game is simply astounding, there is no other..
I'm guessing there will be some hardcore analysis/speculation with the damage on the Subaru scene. Personally I'm sort of indifferent to damage being present in the game, but having it is a nice touch.
IMO GT5 is simply a testing ground for damage/weather, elements that is something new for Polyphony, and its implementation in GT5 is very limited (I have yet to see any material deformation on the paneling). We will probably have to wait till maybe the next iteration or the one after for full integration into Polyphony's sim.

There's plenty of our games to play at the moment, so it doesn't bother me that they are taking the time to expand and refine GT5 even further.
One thing I liked about the demo was how clean everything was; the graphics, the sound, the menus, even if the track itself was a little bland. When GT5 does come out, everything will be optimized to the Nth degree, something which is all too uncommon these days.

I personally don't like the GT series. never got into them. Don't even know why I bought prologue - played like 10 minutes and never touched it again. Traded it in.
what's my point? Um, yeah, boring series. Who cares~~~*

Yep they had preorders in JB too. Couldn't tell me when it would be released so I didn't bother to order.

So we could potentially have in for Xmas! But I won't hold my breath. Odd that they are taking preorders now...

Can't wait for this! Finally bit the bullet and picked up a PS3 yesterday in anticipation (and for mw2 of course  ). Hope it's a vast improvement on the mistakes they made with GT4!

That trailer... Vettel? Newey? Does that mean that the RB6 will be in the game?
Also, good to see them race past the tyres on the test track.

I noticed EB taking pre-orders for $109 (I think?) for November... and a collectors edition for an extra $20 or so.
I asked & they didn't have a definite date, yet wanted to take my money regardless..

I think there is an official release date, but the game retailers are wary of how many times this game has been pushed back (was officially dated for xmas 2007 at one point), so probably now they're not willing to give the definite date until the stock has actually been shipped and arrived at their stores
fool me once, shame on you.. fool me twice...

Wasn't it confirmed for November 2nd (Could be world wide but i'm guessing US). Even if it doesn't come here with in a few weeks of the US release you could just import.

| Euro PS Blog wrote: | Gran Turismo 5 – Something Special
I am absolutely delighted to be able bring what will hopefully be very exciting news to those patiently (or impatiently) waiting for more information on Gran Turismo 5. During E3, our American colleagues unveiled their rather tasty looking Collector’s Edition. Today I can now confirm the special editions of Gran Turismo that will be heading Europe’s way later this year.
First up, we have a very special version of the game; one that, with its artfully sculpted exterior, glossy black finish and meticulously designed premium content, exemplifies everything the Gran Turismo brand has always stood for – beauty and precision.
This version of the game is known as the Signature Edition and the recommended retail price will be €179.99. It contains a whole host of exclusive additional content, which is listed below.
- Metal sculpted box finished in SLS AMG Obsidian Black
- Exclusive GT branded SLS AMG 1:43 model car
- GT leather wallet containing Signature Edition competition entry card
- Branded USB key with Polyphony/Mercedes-Benz trailer
- GT branded metal key fob
- Signature Edition coffee table book featuring the beautiful cars and locations of Gran Turismo 5
- 200 page Apex drivers magazine with hints on driving technique, car tuning, future technologies and more
 
 
This is in addition to five ‘ChromeLine’ Collector’s Edition cars plus six ‘Stealth’ vehicles, both featuring enhanced performance and liveries and an exclusive dynamic theme.
A dazzling array of content, I’m sure you will agree, but what makes this very special of special editions, well…very special, is a rather unique competition. Those lucky enough to get their hands on the Signature Edition (quantities are going to be strictly limited) will be able to enter an extraordinary competition that will combine in-game and real world driving challenges – the prize at the end of these two stages? A real Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG supercar.
That’s right; through a combination of meeting challenges in-game within Gran Turismo 5 and then subsequently pulling all the right moves at the AMG Signature Edition driving school, you could win what Kazunori Yamauchi himself has called the “most exciting car in the world right nowâ€.
To have a chance of getting your hands on the prize, you’re going to have to be 18 or over and hold a full driving licence. Full competition details will be made available at gran-turismo.com shortly.
The Signature Edition competition will be open to residents of the following countries;
UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Greece, Czech Republic, Russia, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, UAE and Saudi Arabia.
It could well be time to get saving.
Next up for something slightly less exotic but certainly no less exciting, alongside the Signature Edition at launch we will be offering the Gran Turismo 5 Collector’s Edition. This version of the game will have a recommended retail price of €79.99.
The Collector’s Edition features an exclusive commemorative #5 slip case. It also shares special edition inlay art with the Signature Edition.
What’s more, not only do you also get the same dynamic theme as in the Signature Edition, the same set of five ChromeLine vehicles, and also the Apex driver’s magazine, you also get five collectible artcards featuring beautifully rendered images carefully chosen by the team at Polyphony.
And if that lot hasn’t got you going then the final piece of the jigsaw just might. Alongside the special editions of the game, I can now unveil the 6 highly covetable pre-order cars that will be available in those countries with PlayStation Store.
All of the 6 pre-order vehicles in what Polyphony has titled the ‘Stealth’ range feature both performance and livery enhancements to give you that little extra edge in-game.
Here’s the line up:

It's also the most expensive collector's edition, $298 according to EBGames. Might just stick with the basic one this time around.

$298 for the collectors edition?? they won't sell any. the $298 has gotta be for the signature edition right? even so, it's still a ridiculous price whatever the case is.
i'll just be getting the standard edition. and i won't be buying from those muppets at EB.

collectors is $128 on eb's site, it is the signature edition for $298.
so thats probably $100 collectors and $250 signature everywhere else.

Not that I will get the game, but I actually prefer the Collector's Edition. I prefer the Chrome Line Vechiles (I don't like the Black Car pack at all) and the Art Cards the Theme are cool.
$300 is friggin ridiculous for the Signature Edition. $200 would be more suitable, but $300...na ah.
