There are dates to do with launches of various parts of the web site, such as downloads, but I didn't see any relating directly to the launch of the game.

Where on the SCEE website, I've been on there already and haven't found any clock ticking down!

I've clicked on the GT3 sign from the homepage and loaded the flash plugin but there's no clock there either.

URL would be appreciated if I'm being thick....

Right, I'm not having a go at anyone here and will be mightily p***ed off if GT3 isn't released on the 20th July!

Just wondered after reading all the emails and phonecalls etc why SR still have this game as a release date of the 20th July, I've just been to the website and there is no mention of any delays and I also notice that none of the staff from SR have been on this forum to backup or deny the delay claims.

Anyone from SR like to comment?? (Please!!! :) )

It seems that the release date of GT3 is creating quite a lot of controversy. It may be annoying if what is said about the release date is true, but at least we will be getting a better came because of it. Maybe they have decided to add in some more cars or something.

Maybe OPS2 only gave them 9 so they decided to listen to their comments and improve the AI to get a 10.

Hey no need to sound so angry ! It's just I wondered why the PLaystation.com shop hasn't changed it's onscreen release date of GT3 ? Still says 20th july on the shop page for Gran Turismo 3.

look mate i dont want to keep going on but ill say it once more and show u the email.
the place i spoke to and got this email is the shop on the official scee (sony) site and they say that its not got a release date read for your self.
ive had my copy ordered since feb and iam getting as miffed about it as everybody,
but after all ive heard today on the phone and emails ive recieved iam not holding my breath for the 20th

heres the emails ive had and i got these are from this afternoon.
Dear Sir / Madam
Thank you for your email. The email you had previously received is correct. There is, at the moment no release date for GT3. All we know is that it will be out at the end of July/ early August 2001.

Thank you for contacting Playstation.com. For all additional enquiries please contact our Customer Service Centre by dialing 0870 241 3338 or sending an email to: [email protected]. We look forward to assisting you in the future.

Sincerely,
James
Playstation.com

and another from gamestreet

Thank you for your e-mail.

I personally spoke to a Sony representative this morning who informed me that the release date has been removed from their schedule so it now looks as if it may not be released for a while longer. Unfortunately we can only go on the information the production company give us and at the moment there is not a definite date.

If you have any further issues, please do not hesitate to contact me.

With regards,

Rachel Waller

Hmm, if I was you I'd order your copy of GT3 from someone who IS getting it in on July 20th.

Out of interest, and just to cover all bases here, can anyone on this forum actually manage to get hold of or see a real copy of GT3 before July 20th ? I can for July 19th but that's the earliest, wondered if anyone worked anywhere that gets games in any earlier than thursdays ?

I've no doubt July 20th is the release date but seeing July 27th in Official PS2 magazine review of GT3 is rather haunting.....God I'm paranoid !
