Gran Turismo 5 Final Date + Blue PS3 announced

A final release date for Gran Turismo 5 has finally been announced.


Happy days, after over almost 5 possibly more years of development Gran Turismo 5 will be released on November 24 just in time for the Holidays and just in time before Black Friday.

Kaz Yamauchi also had this to say about the title:

"Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Program! When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with Gran Turismo 5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologize to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed."

If you've played Prologue, that was just a sprinkle in the icing of what Gran Turismo 5 offer.

On top of the announcement Sony has also announced a Blue PS3 to go along with the launch of GT5. The Blue PS3 will retail for $430 and will be only available in Japan but here's hoping that it releases in other parts of the country.
