I wouldn't worry about it, it's not worth the effort of downloading it. You'll spend more time downloading it than you will playing it.

It's not a full game. Full games come with more than 1 level. It's a tech demonstration. It's got 1 level that you can play in reverse. It has about 15 cars.. It was released to show how a Gran Turismo game would look and probably to guage interest. I would imagine all these games people download, sends information back to Sony that allows them to see how many times its played etc.. They dont call it a demo because they want people to think they are getting a full product for free, when in fact, ITS A DEMO.

thats an opinion, not a fact though. th fact is that it is a full game with one level. i would even consider it a demo, but it is given to us as a full game from the developers, so its a full game.

So by your theory, then the Motorstorm demo that's on the PSN, is a full game then right? The ONLY difference from that and the GTHD DEMO, is that you can post results online. Both are 1 levels.. both have multiple vehicles.. It's a demo. It's a 1 level demo that shows what GT5 will look like.. quit buying into Sony jargan about it being a full game. They could label it a rocket ship and you'd believe it right? GTHD - Rocketship! free!! "Hey guys!! Sony is giving away a Gran Turismo Rocketship!! WEEE!" Sony got you tho.. they called it a full game and you bit it, hook, line and sinker..

That's a lame arguement... And the GT francheise have had several concept games out which are all small games. It is in fact not a demo but fits under the GT Concept banner. Also I thought that when this thing first came out it was stated that it was "limited time only".

Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) announced today the December 24 North American release of Gran Turismo™HD Concept, available for free download, exclusively on the PLAYSTATION®Store (PS Store) for the PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) computer entertainment system. Developed by Polyphony Digital Inc., this driving game features an all-new course for players to be the first to drive a Ferrari on a PS3, as well as have the option to select a car from nine other worldwide manufacturers that include Infiniti, Lotus, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Suzuki. Available only for a limited time, Gran Turismo HD Concept takes full advantage of the PS3 PLAYSTATION 3 hardware performance by providing full HD 1080p* resolution and next-generation car physics ushering in a new era of racing for the gaming industry. "Gran Turismo HD Concept provides PS3 and automotive fans a glimpse into the future of Gran Turismo," states Kazunori Yamauchi, famed creator of the Gran Turismo franchise. "With the power of the PS3 technology, the world of Gran Turismo is refined by its full HD visual presentation and unique interactive experience, resulting in an even more realistic and true driving simulator." Upon downloading Gran Turismo HD Concept, PS3 users have access to the Eiger Nordwand course and can compete in Time Trial races to collect and unlock new cars. Upon unlocking the initial 10 cars, the player has access to 10 more "Tuned Cars," as well as access to a new driving mode called "Drift Trial." In the "Drift Trial" mode, the player can master the art of drifting and achieve ultimate control of their car. Furthermore, when connected to the PLAYSTATION®Network (PS Network), the player can upload their times and view the Top 10 rankings for each car and mode, as well as play and save replays online. Featured Automobiles in Gran Turismo HD Concept (Year, Manufacturer, Model) In order of appearance in game (available in stock and "tuned" versions): 1995 Suzuki Cappucino 1989 Mazda Eunos Roadster 2004 Honda Integra TYPE R 1996 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR 2005 Lotus Elise 111R 1994 Nissan SKYLINE GT-R Vspec II 1995 Toyota Celica GT-FOUR Rally Car 2006 Ferrari 599 Additional Information About The Game Modes in Gran Turismo HD Concept In "Time Trial" mode, the player selects a car and must complete the Eiger Nordwand course within the target time indicated at the top of the screen. Each time the player beats the target time, a new car is unlocked and made available for selection. As stated, upon unlocking all of the cars, the player can access tuned cars, along with the option to race Eiger Nordwand in the opposite direction. In "Drift Trial" mode, the players drifting technique is tested, rather than their lap time. The player earns drift points based on their drift angles, racing lines, and speeds within evaluation zones located at various turns on the course. For each evaluation zone, the results are based on the number of flags and a numerical figure. The point total from all zones determines the players drift points for the lap and is counted toward the rankings. The following settings are available during gameplay: 1) Transmission the player can select either Manual or Automatic. 2) Stability Management (SM) the player can turn this ON or OFF during gameplay. ASM is designed to prevent vehicle skidding by controlling each of the four wheel brakes independently. 3) Traction Control (TC) Level the player can set the TCS level, which senses drive-wheel slip and prevents wheel spin. 4) Tires the player can select front and rear tires from nine types of brands.

Tell me what the difference is between "concept" and "demo" which is short for "demonstration"

 

Both are words that are used in showing a product off.. Neither of those 2 words mean "full"

I don't usually give english lessons, so for future reference look it up yourself. Concept –noun 1. a general notion or idea; conception. 2. an idea of something formed by mentally combining all its characteristics or particulars; a construct. 3. a directly conceived or intuited object of thought. Demo n. pl. dem·os Informal A demonstration, as of a product or service. Your "new" arguement is just as lame as the last. If you can't see the difference between these two words then I'm not sure what to tell you. So unless a game says "Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion FULL" it's ony a demo? You're the one confusing the two, content doesn't determine if it's a demo or a "full game". They're not demoing anything, the next GT is built from the ground up for the PS3, so if it's not a demo for GT5 either.
