Most people have given up on release date news to emerge from Paris Games Week, and with only two weekend days left in October, there’s not much time left for Sony to follow up on their tweet. Regardless, if you’re up in Scandinavia, don’t let that stop you from checking out the Gran Turismo 5 demo on display at the 2010 Oslo Motor Show this weekend.

Norwegian electronics retailer Expert will be at the show accepting pre-orders for the game. If you take them up on the offer, your copy will be signed by the Solberg brothers (WRC champion Petter and his brother, Henning) and you’ll get a free GT5 t-shirt. Officially-licensed Gran Turismo merchandise is very difficult to come by around the world, so I think you’d be wise to pick up that shirt… Let me know if you’re going!

Thanks to Christoffer for the tip.
