Gran Turismo 5 Coming in November

In the turmoil and hubbub of E3, things can slip through the cracks. Sometimes it'll be something small like a batch of screenshots but others it'll be a little larger. Like a release date for Gran Turismo 5. November 2 in North America. We're awfully sorry.

The Collector's Edition and a little Nurburgring racing action.

In-game cars "with select performance upgrades over the standard versions" will be offered as pre-order bonuses at specific retailers, to be confirmed later.
