GT5′s DLC Delayed in North America, Releases October 25 with “Special Bonus” [UPDATE]

Gran Turismo 5 October 17th, 2011 by Jordan

Only hours away from release, Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced via Twitter the release of Gran Turismo 5‘s first DLC - including the highly anticipated Spa Francorchamps circuit - has been delayed in North America until October 25th, 2011. No further explanation is offered, but the tweet does mention the content will include a “special bonus” when it is eventually released next week:

Update: GT5 DLC will hit the North American Store on 10/25 but will include a special bonus. Apologies for the inconvenience!

The DLC is presumably still on schedule to be available to the rest of the world on Tuesday, October 18th, at 07:00 UTC (convert this to your local time zone here), according to another tweet from Kazunori Yamauchi earlier today.

UPDATE:  This news apparently comes as a surprise to Kazunori Yamauchi himself, who, according to further Twitter comments, has only just now learned of Sony America’s last-minute change of plans. Fortunately for European gamers, Kazunori has also announced there will be only a slight delay of the content’s release in their region (as of writing, it’s now expected to go live at 09:00 UTC). It is already available in Asian territories.

F*CKING 00000MB... It's a service unlock key... all the stuff was in the 2.0 update.. and to make matters worse... you can only use the DLC on the account that you bought with it... you can't share it with all the accounts on the ps3.. just 1.. my brother has an account on my PS3 but he can't play it unless he buys it..

I do want to warn people that it won't show up as download but in the "services" section.. lot's of people are making the mistake of buying the unlock key a few times... you could buy it infinitly..
the unlock key is not only account tied but also Region tied..

For example:
Your PSN Account is Region A, GT5 Disc is Region B

You purchase a "DLC" in "Region A" PS Store, The game couldn't access the "DLC" since PSN didn't have "Region B" service and "Region A" service is not compatible with the game.

The DLC is tied to the account and not the actual PS3 that the account is on/registered with? That's a pretty poor move from them.

Wait, if you buy it, you aren't able to unlock it again for free but you must pay for it again??
