Today, we sat in on a presentation hosted by Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi as he demonstrated some of the new features that will be present in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. The game is due for release on the PlayStation Network as a free download later this year.

Thus Sony is on crack. No one will buy the BD version for 45...especially if what Spruce is saying is true and it is a free dl over PSN.

HOME intergration
GT-TV - download
40 Cars
5 Tracks

Full single player with championships which you can win stuff on and offline multiplayer modes. Plus More.

Yeah thats what I thought I read. Maybe the Blu-ray version will only cost money due to it being on a disk and stuff, maybe it'll come with some sort of extras or such.

what other full game has so little? :|

Im sure you will get more out of it than 6 hours of Heavenly Sword which is $60

So if u buy this and the full version, it will cost you $105, if this game isnt AAAA for that price then its a flop :P

How would they justify charging $60+ for a disc if the actual content is available for free elsewhere? A BD disc does not cost $60...

well the game isn't going to be full price.

I know you love your Sony, but you should not defend this. They said it would be free, and if your link is to be trusted, they violated that promise in a huge way, and that should not be defended by anyone, most specifically, Sony fans should be the most upset.

why wouldn't you get upset with a company that offers the EXACT same thing in disc form but charges you $60USD for something that's free on their own network? BR disc don't cost that much to press. :|

If the PSN one is still free...if

Even if it is, it sure does not seem right to charge $60 for the same thing you are giving away free. It just seems wrong.

to be honest i wasn't happy to hear the suspected price point i was hoping for $30 at the most cosidering what you can get in the full game but adding online to it makes it have alot of replay value.. but 5 tracks even in mirror mode seems like the price isa bit much.. but i guess sony has to make money some how considering they run the servers for free.

This better be a lie, the game was supposed to be free, not nearly full priced. I could have sworn several sources said it was going to free, it sure as hell is not a full game at 40 cars and 5 tracks.ZanuffC

Don't lower your standards. For some reason, Sony is releasing a lot of shallow games to start of this gen.
