The "Sony Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
iam just putting this hopefully to get some answers.
tonight i recieved an email from gamestreet that told me that they had spoken to sony this morning and they had cancelled the release in the uk of gt3 and another date had not been set.
now dont go mad at me iam only trelling u what i recieved ,if you want ill post email on here so u can read it for yourselfs.
i did contact them and they couldnt answer tonight and are ringing me tommorrow. so i hopefully will know more by then.
now if anybody from special reserve can obvuoisly scotch this terrible rumour i will be as pleased as the next guy.
so i wait any repies on here and more importantly from gamestreet tommorrow.
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.
> If you go to the scee website it is counting down the days to the release. I think you'll find that they probably know whats going on.
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....
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!!! :) )
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,

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

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 !
