what is GT5 prologue? is it just a preview of a future release of the actual GT5?SnakeLMR

Yea, kind of. Some also call it a demo of the future full game. 60 cars 8 tracks (give or take a few) for 40 bucks. Should be a good deal.

I'm going to let you know what it will include:

The game will also feature split-screen racing in addition to the 16-player online races. The game will be released on April 17 for $39.99 on Blu-ray disc or via a direct download on the PlayStation Store.

The tracks will include Suzuka Speedway, Eiger Nordwand, Fuji Speedway, London City Track, Daytona International Speedway, and High Speed Ring. The list of features is likewise intense:

This is a full fledged game and not a demo. You name me a realistic racing simulator that has full support for 16 player online racing.. Of course this is not the full GT5 but a prologue, however it can stand alone as super racer before the full version is out. If you need any info please ask here or on my blog. :)

Alot of people are just saying that it is nothing but an expensibe Demo, but the dev's have updated it to have FULL CAR SPEC CUSTOMIZATION, which is awesome, other than that it looks awesome, and the new in-car view looks freakin' sweet.g4merkid

A lot of people are arrogant, misinformed and uneducated and like to voice their opinions in such manners. Then again, just how much "truth" and helpful information can you get from 90% of Internet forums population, I do agree with you - new cockpit view is phenomenal :)

I will be picking it up as well. Hopefully the DualShock 3 is out by then, I love hitting those rumble strips.slammedc
