Title: Gran Turismo 3 release date confirmed !!!

Gran Turismo 3 release date confirmed

After more delays than London during a tube strike, Sony Japan has given Gran Turismo 3 a solid release date

April 25 is the date you\'ll be able to grab an import copy of stunning PlayStation 2 racer Gran Turismo 3. After numerous delays and a heap of design changes, the only racer in development set to redefine the genre is finally here.
Although the latest version of the PlayStation smash franchise carries less vehicles than its 32-bit siblings, the graphical quality of Gran Turismo 3 has to be seen to be believed. PlayStation 2 owners will get the first real taste of what the console is capable of, and plenty of extras have been added to keep fans happy. Wet races have been included for the first time, as well as new tracks.

At the moment, SCEE only has a tentative June release for the UK and Europe, but we\'ll keep you posted when a confirmed date comes along.

I just found them lying around at http://www.videogames.com with the other new shots, groovy.

I especially like the lighting on the right side picture. Never seen anything like that in a game... only in... real life, dang :D

Those pics (& TONS more) can also be found a CVG\'s GT3 galleries. They got all the official pics of the game in a neat archive. Beware you with slow a connection, the thumbnail gallery is a killer :

With thumbnails (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/gamepics.cfm?id=10&type=1)

With captions (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/gamepics.cfm?id=10&type=2)

You can compare the old and new pics easily in these galleries. Polyphony\'s just about overdone themselves :D

Dude, was it necessary to quote his entire post for that?  Our attention spans aren\'t that short.  The Quote with Reply should be used if you\'re responding to something five or so posts previous..... and often it\'s not necessary to quote the entire thing, just what you\'re addressing.

AND QUOTING A POST WITH PICTURES SO THE PICTURES ARE POSTED TWICE IN A ROW IS FRICKIN\' REDICULOUS!  CUT THAT **** OUT!

chill out man, I\'m sorry if you\'re modem\'s to slow, but you can also say that in a normal way.
I\'ll edit my post,geez

I have the kind of connection that the average web user has and doing stuff like that is just bad netiquette.  It\'s frustrating to come to a board like this and try and go through it on limited time only to find that much of the content is repeated.

Sorry politiepet, but Dolbytone´s right, so don´t get mad at him...
It just takes a long time to read trough all the old stuff !
Many ppl on boards are doing it, but it´s no fun !
Sorry dude... ;)

I wasn\'t mad, what I meant was, he could also tell me that in a normal way, It\'s not like I have a problem with him, cause I don\'t, and I also editted the reply, so
all good now
