Gran Turismo 5 launch day is still a couple of days off but that just means it is great news for a number of gamers who saw pre-ordered copies of GT5 landing on doormats today. With two extra days to get behind the wheel of GT5's 1,031 vehicles you might think they are at a gaming advantage but with GT5 first installs taking 50 minutes they might still be waiting to get off the line come Wednesday's official launch.

Apple iPad 2 rumours kicked into overdrive today as T3 exclusively revealed that a high-profile source close to a major service provider confirmed to us a new 3G Apple iPad would launch pre-Christmas with an integrated SIM card. The news came after it was revealed the iPhone 5 integrated SIM plans have been scrapped following a backlash from service providers. Keep your eyes peeled on T3 for the latest.

Upcoming playful tech has made headlines today as the Sony PlayStation Phone and BlackBerry PlayBook tablet both hit the news with release date information. Whilst the Sony PlayStation Phone is to land in February at Mobile World Congress according to the Sony Ericsson boss, RIM's head honcho has said the BlackBerry PlayBook will hit the UK second quarter of 2011. Still a little time to wait yet then.
