No GT5 in the UK this year, says GAME
While we all know that retailers do tend to have a "hit and miss" record when it comes to release dates, this all does sound depressingly inevitable. According to an email sent to customers by UK chain GAME, "The legendary "Real Driving Simulator Gran Turismo 5 is heading to PlayStation 3 in 2009, utilising the uber-console's raw horsepower to generate an unrivalled level of realism".
The same email says that GT5 Prologue is releasing in Europe on March 28.
SCEE has announced neither a date for GT5 or its cut-down precursor as yet.
