With Gran Turismo 5 due out on November 24 (knock on wood… then find a rabbits foot and knock on more wood), the advertising that has been waiting in the wings can finally be unleashed on the hordes of eager fans. Enter Kevin Butler, Sony’s VP of whatever is funniest at the moment, who returns to the airwaves to discuss GT5 in all its glory. He then steals a car. Long live Kevin Butler!

After one or two delays that you may have heard about, Gran Turismo 5 is finally going to be released. In theory. Sure, the game is said to have already shipped to retailers, but until the game is in our consoles, and you have played several hours, anything can happen.

Check out the trailer below and get ready to FINALLY play GT5 next week exclusively for the PlayStation 3.

This PS5 bundle gets you a PlayStation Portal and it’s not sold out, yet

The PlayStation Portal is an excellent, albeit exclusive handheld gaming console that works with the PS5. In our Portal review, we made it clear that while it cuts a lot of corners, it is an excellent companion to Sony's titular current-gen console. But to make the most of it, you really do need a PS5, which means if you don't have one, there's no point in buying a Portal until you do. Well, we spotted an incredible bundle that includes the PlayStation 5 Slim, a PlayStation Portal, and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 all together, all for you, at one great price. For $750, normally $760, so saving you $10, it's all yours. But here's the thing, the PlayStation Portal has pretty much been sold out everywhere. This bundle gets your hands on it, plus everything else you need to play. It even includes Spider-Man, so you can web-sling as soon as you set it up. If you've been searching high and low for the Portal, don't sleep on this deal.

Why you should buy the PlayStation 5 with PlayStation Portal bundle
The PlayStation 5 is a fantastic gaming console, but the exclusive games available on the platform are second to none. God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, Death Stranding, I could go on and on. But one of the better features of the PlayStation 5 is the option to remotely play your games on compatible devices, from your smartphone to a PS4 in another room, you can connect in, stream, and play, just like if you were sitting in front of your PS5. The PlayStation Portal takes that to a whole new level.
