Sony Computer Entertainment America's Jeff Rubenstein has posted over on the official US PlayStation Blog confirming a March 31 launch for Gran Turismo 5 in Japan.

But what of gamers in Europe and America? Rubenstein revealed that "an American and European release date will be announced soon".

Previous games in the Gran Turismo series have launched in Europe several months after the game's debut in Japan, so let's hope the wait isn't too long.
