After years of delays, the much vaulted Grand Turismo 5 is to be released in Europe on 3rd November http://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5-november-3-in-europe/ It comes with a whopping price tag, £59.99

For £60 it better come with something other than the game! I won't be buying it anyway, and wouldn't even if I wanted to at that price!

Glenn · Aug 19, 2010, 22:35:34

I won't buy it initially, I'll give it a few months .

Hi guys,

I think you have been looking at the Collectors Edition.

The 'basic' version is much less. Eg : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Gran-Turismo-5-PS3/dp/B002BWONDK/ref=pd_nr_vg_h__3?ie=UTF8&s=videogames

Have you seen the price of the call of duty black ops prestige edition? On Amazon when released a seller has it at £299.

There's new copies of Guild Wars (collector's edition) selling on amazon.com for $500, and that is now something like 6 years old.

Completely different, but I just bought an out of print paperback for £35, some people were asking £150 for it. Never throw books away!

I have to agree, its amazing what has become valuable i n the last twenty years now. I have a the original CD single of Satan, by Orbital. Its really rare as most were vinyl (crossover times on the formats) and its worth about £45 now

GT5 delayed... Again.. There's a shock...

I was reading about just 5 minutes ago, it will be getting on for 4 years late by the time it gets released.

At least it's not Duke Nukem Forever!

It's quite possibly the most ridiculous mess up by a development studio (blowing the money on champaign instead of workers) or the biggest con ever. This thing went through over 10 years of development, failure and scandal. Either way, some bookies are now going to be cleaned out when the "never to be released" is resurrected and released.

I still have it on Amazon wish list awaiting to be notified by email of its eventual (if ever) release date.

24th Nov is the release date, so a week to wait, if you want it in release day. http://www.virtualr.net/ has a lot of details for it.

Glenn · Dec 22, 2010, 08:58:59

1.05 upgrade has been released, it's a 600mb download.

Has it been buggy then Glenn? What does the game patch do?

Glenn · Dec 22, 2010, 10:43:56

I haven't bought it. Some of the details are here apparently, but I can't open it from my work PC http://www.ripten.com/2010/12/20/gt5-update-105-mauler/

Glenn · Jun 21, 2011, 19:12:14

I bought a copy of GT5 last week, I thought I would have a quick play last night. Wrong, it needed 1.7Gb in patches downloading, 2 hours later it was already.

Worse than an MS Patch Tuesday

It use to be that the game came on the disk...

pctech · Jun 22, 2011, 11:13:00

Not these days.

Glenn · Jun 22, 2011, 11:24:41

GT5 is sold on a DVD, well it seems some of it is.

pctech · Jun 22, 2011, 11:41:27

I bought Counter Strike: Source on DVD, it installed, connected to Steam and then wanted to download loads of updates.

Gary · Jun 22, 2011, 13:56:44

Games can come on DVD-Bluray but patches are downloads same as DLC
