Its fair enough. Huge games that are released this close to Christmas might be bought as a christmas present therefore there mightnt be as big a rush to play it.
Its a though.

Thanks for that. Doesn't really sound ~€15 extra though for me.

Remember how much merchandise halo has though.When they release one id say half the games budget is promotion alone.
The other half is spent on making the same game over again :pac:

Im not bloody paid until Friday :mad:

Damn you monthly pay, damn you to hell.

Time to start begging I think, dont wanna miss out on GT5 on launch date.

brianon · 23-11-2010 10:04AM

So will the collectors edition be worth it ? Local gamestop are getting ONE in. But would need to put a deposit down sharpish.

Grayditch · 23-11-2010 11:21AM

The missus suggested I wait till Christmas and there'll be a wheel in it for me too.

What's another month, eh?:(

Dcully · 23-11-2010 11:43AM

Here's hoping.

8:01am tomorrow according to IGN

johnny_adidas · 23-11-2010 03:07PM

was gona go rooting in the attic for my ps2 steering wheel in advance but it will give me something to do for the half hour it'll take to install the game data

Can anyone who's had the game early confirm whether it can be played without the install or is it mandatory?

M00lers · 23-11-2010 03:09PM

Install is optional as far as I know.

2smiggy · 23-11-2010 03:17PM

10 gb install. not sure if mandatory, but if you choose not to install it might really increase loading times etc

Lucious Sweet · 23-11-2010 03:21PM

I think you can play while it's installing.

rickyjb · 23-11-2010 03:37PM

I highly doubt you'll be able to play while it's installing, doesn't look like installing saves a huge amount of time either according to this. Although over the life span of the game though I'm sure it does.

Has anyone heard of any stores bundling the game with a decent steering wheel such as the driving force gt??

The Free Man · 23-11-2010 03:40PM

Gamestop in Ballincollig have the DFGT in stock. I'd ask around other Gamestops too.

Also Harvey Norman and Game in Mahon Point for 99e.

I wanted a G27 but lack of funds and not wanting to wait to get said G27 heel means I'll shell out for the DFGT in either shop.

GT5 installs while played - Sony

Killinator · 23-11-2010 04:25PM

For anyone interested Argos sell the DGFT for 100 squid.
Its well worth the money.

That_Guy · 23-11-2010 04:50PM

One more sleep.

Thank fcuk this is an optional install. My one major gripe with the PS3.

Greyian · 23-11-2010 05:16PM

Anyone got any prices for GT5? I think the Standard Edition is €44.99 in HMV and €47 in Harvey Norman. It's £35.90 on the Tesco UK site, so hopefully it'll also be €45 or less here. If anyone knows of any other prices, it'd be much appreciated.

Just 7 more hours and my 5+ years of waiting will be over at last.
