so, how was my tl;dr post everyone?

I wouldn't know. Your post was too long and I didn't have time to read it.

of course Gran Turismo 5 is coming out.
When? Before Christmas? I would not be surprised if PD delays GT5 again.
unless they announced a date today, no one knows yet. the game is finished and they are already making the blu-rays and some copies have even leaked out in Europe. it should only be a few weeks but who knows. a lot of people are saying it will be Dec 7th (which would be awesome cuz it's my bday) or Dec 23rd. they should announce the new date soon.... i hope
