In the midst of all the chaos of an unknown, though impending, release date for Gran Turismo 5, fans are beginning to hunt high and low for a way to gain access to this massive PS3 exclusive. Over the last several days, there have numerous leaks of gameplay videos and information based on the retail version of the game, but no one has managed to find a place to purchase the game legitimately. Well, that was until now.
According to forum posters, Fingerhut.com is currently posting on their website that they have Gran Turismo 5: Collector's Edition in-stock and ready for the consumer. We gave them a call asking if this information was correct and they confirmed that they currently have the game in-stock and ready for order. Selling for a slightly inflated price of $135.99, this could be the opportunity some PS3 owners have been waiting for or it could be an elaborate hoax to garner early sales. Despite the confirmation via phone call, you still have to wonder whether this is completely legit or just a ploy to get sales.
Sony still has not made an official comment about the new release date, though many indicators are pointing towards a November 23rd or early-December release.
