Gran Turismo 5 has been postponed about a month from the originally projected March 2010 release date in Japan. News of the delay came from Sony Computer Entertainment Japan.
This is par for the course in the gaming world I’m afraid this isn’t the first game of the year to get postponed, nor will it be the last.
UPDATE: A Sony spokesperson commented that Gran Turismo 5 has been estimated for a 2010 release in North America and did not see the delay in Japan as impacting the US release
Apparently there are two versions of Nier in Japan and we are only getting one. When I say we, I am talking about the US. It’s an adult themed action/RPG and the main charachter is supposed to be a hermaphrodite but we don’t get that version.We aren’t grown up enough to handle it as well as Japanese gamers.
This game is only on PS3 and Xbox 360 so far.

For the holidays, Sony are offering up a free engraving on their DSC-TX1 camera. Specs wise, it features a 10.2 megapixel camera with 4X optical zoom and a Carl Zeiss lens. On the back, there’s an impressive 3 inch touch screen dsiplay.
Lucky folks in Japan can get the camera in a choice of silver, pink or black, with tiny snowflakes engraved on the front.
