Interestingly in the two national newspapers I have read this morning, the game that is getting the press, and very good reviews in both, is NFS....

GT5 doesnt even get a mention.  No ads either... why is ther zero advertising? no press? no tv?  I find this a very odd approach for Sony to take with its biggest franchise by far.


Possibly the latest delay did not allow the booking of advertising space.

Or, production is struggling and they would rather launch quietly and then push later.

Thats a good point and very likely, Im sure marketing space was booked a long time in advance for the holidays.

Gran Turismo 5 has started getting TV ads as of today in America. During the football no less. I'm sure advertising space isn't the problem. You'll start seeing ads later on this week in the UK I reckon. 

Also NFS came out on Friday. It seems the newspapers don't review games until they are already out. I looked on the broadsheet websites and Gran Turismo 5 is mentioned plenty of times.
