Amazon.com lists February 19th. However, GT4 slipped several times.
EDIT: But, if it's really out in Japan, that's probably great news for an upcoming US release date. If I remember right, GT4 was out just a few months in Japan before hitting the US. Can't wait! And it looks like they've got Ferraris now - guess that EA lockdown truly was tied to the PS2. |

Wait a minute... wasn't one of the big deals of the ps3 that games werent region coded? DVDs are coded... but the PS3 doesn't run DVDs... therefore... we should be able to play the japanese version. So how about someone get on importing it.

I remember buying a Polyphony release of a game in between GT3 and GT4 - forgot what it was called, but included a couple of new cars - and it wouldn't work. Then found there's a whole market for folks in the US buying Japanese PS2s or "chipping" their US counterparts to play these games. |

Hope you're right. It may extend beyond the movie player's restrictions, though. If someone tries it, let us know! May have a new Christmas list.

Look at that guys. "No Region Protection" I'll order it monday to test it out. The Japanese version is IN STOCK! An english version would be nice... but the ferrari is in the prologue, and holiday days off means plenty of time to ferrari my time away.

Don't be fooled into buying the demo, Someone paid $25 for it Make a Japanese account and get it for free...it still is available Couple Months ago I posted my impressions on the Forza 2 game (X360), boy oh boy....the Forza 2 is Not even close to the physics/graphics of the GT5....I've never felt such an excitement playing a racing Simulator (Don't you dare call it a GAME ) |
