We’re still waiting on a release date (and a review copy, like everyone else) but in the meantime, it looks like certain Czech auctions have been real after all – here’s one lucky chap who appears to be playing the game right now.
At the time of publication we’ve heard little about the game other than he’s confirmed he’s playing it. Although, we assume it wouldn’t be impossible to fake and we would expect some sort of status on the XMB like “running 3rd at Laguna Seca” or “Tuning Set up”. It’s possible that this is a convoluted hoax but on face value it looks plausible.
We’re hoping for a Trophy list and some concrete details on a tracklist soon, and when we get it we’ll update and let you know.
Update: Another video has surfaced from the guy in question, lending further credence to this story:

I really can’t see GT5 not having enhanced status data on the XMB
Surely it would say ‘at the main menu’ or ‘in 2nd place on the top gear test track’ or whatever

It could be that the servers aren’t up yet. People playing LittleBigPlanet without being signed into the LBP servers won’t have an extra status behind the name.
With that said though, I won’t be totally convinced unless they film the trophylist or game play. Other things can be fixed easily.
Zephyre
Damn, thought he was about to compare trophies.
cc_star
Yeah, why wouldn’t he compare Trophies, that the first thing people would do and video for enhanced proof

Fake, or he’s not synced his Trophies since playing it, as there is no GT5 in his Trophy list.

thanks to @JamboGT a new vid is up with a Trophy Compare in

Still waiting for the guy to sync his Trophies for 100% proof, but I think we 99.9% have it now

3. US.playstation.com is not a site you should check if people have trophies or not. First of all, the trophies might not be on PSN yet, and even if it is, it’s a good chance they’re not on US.Playstation.com.

This may be because a lot of Blu-rays are pressed in the Czech republic. Someone nicked it off the production line.
cc_star
If its at the printers (which it is) someone would have nicked a few, surely. I just can’t understand why someone would go to the trouble of filming that, bring up their Trophycard and not compare Trophies
bajere
to keep the chance of him claiming its a fake, and hes made it all up… if he has stolen it from a printers, then he would be pretty dumb to tell the world and not expect to get caught!!
I bet he has nicked the game, is playing it happily when he’s disconnected from the internet. the trophy list wouldn’t get updated, as he hasn’t been online and ran the GT5 disk to get the trophy patch( most games seem to patch it in on release day).
bajere
of course ignore all that is the PSN status only changes once the game is launched and not just sat in the drive.lol

GT5 trophy list
BIGAL-1992
Holy sh!t. When the hell did you find out about this?
JamboGT
Pretty much posting as I find out.
BIGAL-1992
Well in any case, I’ve posted this on the GT5 forum thread.
Sympozium
That’s not fair dood!!!!
BIGAL-1992
Strange. There wasn’t any trophies for GT5. Either he popped it into his PS3 just a minute earlier or this is a convincing fake.
JamboGT
Would need to sync them.

Wonder how long this story will stay up ;)
Surely we’re due a release date soon?
cc_star
No release date whilst all the rumour and counter rumour stories are taking up approximately 75% of all web traffic
gazo69
True, true!
tonyyeb
So how long before that guys PSN account is banned?

I was just wondering that
Shadow0410
People have been commenting about the pictures of the disks over on GTPlanet all night and they all thought it was fake but after seeing this I am now not so sure.
BIGAL-1992
It’s possible that is the real deal, my friend. I’ve seen pictures of the collector’s edition on cvg, and the disk was the exact same.
Shadow0410
It would be nice if it was real I just can’t help that think Sony would have something to say about the leaked copies by now.
Jas-n
I don’t think Kaz is the type to put those types of status’ for the friends list, you ever seen those things scrolling, the text drops a pixel or two then starts scrolling, not nice, and you know how much of a perfectionist that there Kaz is.
