I've heard 27th July but as with all granturismo games it will probaly be put back a month or two on the 26th july. Apparently they are having trouble converting it from NTSC to PAL

No, Sony never put out a date - it was always speculation in the past.

20th July is the official date from Sony. They've taken long enough to confirm it!

US Release is July 10th

Looks like I'll only be able to hold off buying a PS2 for another 3 weeks then.

Dunno where its going to go - I've run out of inputs on the Yammy A1: PS1 (I guess this can go, may have to see about a screen for the car...!), Dreamcast, N64 plus just go a GB Advance

A scart switch box, that's what I am planning, not much use if you are using SVHS inputs mind you

DV,

I'd never shoot you with a LAW - what sort of gamer do you think I am .....now, running you over would be up my street

Roadrunner,

You heard about the add-ons their doing ? Shortly they'll release an update adding new vehicles and weapons.

And how are you gonna 'run me over' when I'm in my Huey Cobra above with my finger on the missle button ?

If you wanna get it earlier, try looking on Open (if, of course, you have Sky digital).

My mate bought a game from one of the game sites on Open. It arrived about a week or two before it came out on general release. Think it was Final Fantasy, something.

Cheers,
Tom

According the lastest copy of Offical PS2 Mag, its the 27 July.

Oh yeah, and they have an even more amazing rolling demo of the game on the PS2 disc that comes with the mag

DrEvil,

Am I right in thinking you were 'in between jobs' not long ago ? Hope you got everything sorted (if I'm thinking of the right person!)

If not, DOH!

Sure have DV, for once a patch will be worth installing instead of just fixing bugs

So your too scared to be on the ground then ... just in case I might run you over. Remember, what goes up must come down

DazV - yes mate, that was me, just bad timing due to the economic situation in the IT industry in the UK round April time... but sorted now, I've had a lovely two months off (April/May), didnt look for a job for the first month, but been working for 4 weeks now at an Investment Bank, and its going really well thanks

Hope all is well with you mate!

DrEvil,

Glad to see you back mate - thought we'd lost you for good.

Glad the work situation sorted itself out.

Dr Evil,

Nice car - lovely colour. Sadly my MY99 is going shortly. Can't even bring myself to say what I'm getting instead, so I'll sidestep that.

Video Games - well, Operation Flashpoint (PC) has me hooked at the moment - so immersive. Plus it came free with Insane (a nice little driving game)

As for the PS2, I got F1 2001 (sony) which I think gives a good game. I've had Tokyo Highway Battle for a while and its good for a laugh until GT3 comes out later in July.
