최근 여기저기 GT5 릴리즈 데이에 대해 가타부타 말이 많습니다.
하지만 현재까지 소니에 의해 공식 확인된 날짜는 전혀 없으며,
게임 리셀러들이 퍼트리는 소문일 뿐이라는 것,

아래 내용은 gtplanet 포스팅 글인데요,
무개념 리테일러들이 트래픽을 유발시키위한 장난 쯤으로 보고있고,
그런 장난이 게이머들에게는 소문으로 발전해서 실상 소니가 발매일을 공지할때,
마치 늦어져 버린것처럼 비난을 받게되는 문제를 야기시킨다는 내용 같습니다.

GT5같이 대작의 릴리즈 데잇을 공지할때는 보다 신중할 필요성이 있고,
소니의 컨펌을 받은 후에나 내놓는것이 맞는것인데, 그냥 일단 대충 찍어서 적어놓고 보자는 식이 문제를 일으키는듯,

참고하세요.

If there’s one thing the “general” gaming press knows about Gran Turismo, it’s that big news about the series can drive lots of traffic.  Unfortunately, that’s exactly what is happening right now in the Internet rumor mill, and it’s getting fans everywhere stirred up for no good reason.  It all started when Play.com - an online games retailer with of no particular authority - listed Gran Turismo 5 as “due for release on 27/11/2009″.  This isn’t anything new or exciting, as pretty much everyone who has waited on a game to be released is well aware how retailers wrecklessly throw release dates around.  Until an official date comes along, it’s little more than someone’s best guess.

That didn’t stop TheSixthAxis from picking up the random date (via a NeoGAF forum post) and running with it, further sensationalizing the story with the matter-of-fact title, “Gran Turismo 5 Gets UK Release Date”.  Of course, the link was promptly posted to gaming news aggregation site N4G, and has since spread to VG247 and PSXExtreme.  It’s almost funny to see the authors slipping down the slippery slope of quoting retailer release dates, as they are suddenly forced to acknowledge (and link to) a seemingly endless sea of nonsense.

Indeed, it would be funny, if it wasn’t taken seriously by so many people.  Casual fans won’t read this article, nor will they pay much attention to the source of TheSixthAxis’ date.  When the official date is then released by Sony (say, March of 2010), people will become very upset, claiming the game has been further “delayed”.  In reality, though, no date was ever moved, nor was the game ever “pushed back” from anything other than their own personal expectations.  Be wary of the internet rumor mill surrounding GT5 - I hope you’ll continue to rely on GTPlanet for accurate, cited news about your favorite series.
