It's possible, but I don't think anyone who genuinely wants this game will be put off pre-ordering, no matter when the release date is!

My Game store actually had (so they told me) the full game running in demo mode on the screens behind the counter. Though for some reason, the manager would not allow them put it on the PS2 pod for the customers to play.

The only way we'll know for sure is when it does or doesn't turn up on our doorsteps on 20th July!

Well I don't mind apologising when I'm wrong ! Anyway when Wookie says that Game are still saying 20th July I just can't help wondering if, like many retailers, Game are still saying 20th July because they don't want to endanger pre orders. I know from talking to people that if it doesn't come out July 20th then it's going to be a very long day at work........

Lastly I'll know this Saturday if Woolworths have GT3 in their chart for WC 20th July. If it's listed in our chart then it's looking good for a release because otherwise we have a big hole in the number one slot lol

wow guys
been away for a ferw days and i thought this would be gone to the bottom by now.

anyway thanks to stranger in paradise for the little oppology, nice to see somebody has actually tried to find out the truth instead of doubting me.

anyway i would like to add i have now stretched my search and enquiries further a field and let me tell you all now not 1 of the major stores in this country will give you the 20th july as the official date for release.
1 example was dixons they kept me on hold for over 10 mins and when i asked them what they were doing they replied checking there suppliers.
and they came back with the exact same reply they do not have a date ffor release.
now dont get me wrong but all thses companys do have a type of internal system that does always know exactly when things will be arriving for despatch, (take strangers post about woollies),but iam afraid none have.and even he now says woolies have changed there wording of when it was coming.

so guys iam afraid i have now come to the conclusion that 20th july is not going to be the release date of this game.also dont you think that sr would have come on by now to put all your minds at rest for those who have pre ordered from them

so if anybody from sr is reading these posts come on guys tell us the truth.

As one of the oldest members on these forums (both in terms of posting and of physical age) I feel it is my duty to maintain order and sanity.

Therefore I am going to slap Goatboy repeatedly around the face with a smoked kipper until he apologises for that statement.
