I've never heard of a game having such a nebulous release date all of a sudden get an official release date a month before release. Don't get me wrong, it would be awesome, but come on. Does this sound like Sony's M.O. at all??? As soon as Sony has a vague idea of a release date, they trumpet it like no other even if the game isn't coming out for years.

And to anyone who believes GT PSP wouldn't get completely overshadowed by GT5, think again. Sony has said half of PS3 owners own a PSP. Then consider if you owned both a PS3 and PSP, would you spend $60 on GT5 and then $40-50 for GT Mobile? It just makes too little sense.

I was reading the neogaf thread and someone said something along the lines of a regular $60 dollar edition for GT5 and a Special Edition GT5 that would include a voucher to download the GT PSP off PSN......really seems like a great idea and that's probably what I would buy if they give me a good deal, like say $80 bucks.

That's actually a fantastic idea that would probably help not only boost the sales of both games, but also potentially push more hardware especially if there's some solid cross platform connectivity. Perhaps Sony has finally figured out a way to really leverage its assets, but at this point it's all just hopes and dreams. Get it done, Sony.
