What's odd about this is that the game was set for May 2010 in our system up until yesterday, and it had been that way since it was first put into the system after the E3 teaser was shown.

GameStop, from what I've seen in my year working there, only changes placeholder dates when either they receive new information from the publisher, or else the date is obviously wrong (for example, they listed Little King's Story for May, then May came along with no word on an actual release date, so they changed the date to June, and later changed it to July when an official date was finally revealed).  In either situation, they rarely move dates forward.  It's almost always a delay.

It's obvious which of two scenarios I've outlined above has come to pass.  Even if they got nothing more than "2009" out of Sony, the date has been changed, and it was changed for a reason. 

More fuel on the fire for an '09 release.  I expect to hear something at either GamesCom or TGS.

More fuel to the fire, you're as evil as the rest of them! :(

no wai

I'll rather wait for confirmation from Sony or PD, it's better than to get false hope up

MAG is also listed for January 2010...a month after being confirmed for 2009, at E3.

I don't trust this. But I still expect GT5 in 2009.

I really don't see Gran Turismo 5 be released in December. Gamestop usually does that for games that don't come out until the following year.

Either way, I think we will know at GamesCon

There are mailmen in New Zealand?

More likely TGS, since Yamauchi-san is Japanese and Sony likely doesn't want another of these:
