If you can’t wait to jump into the “challenging and visually impressive achievement” (GameZone) that is Gran Turismo 5 Prologue – your wait is over. The GT5 Prologue Blu-ray disc has just hit store shelves, and in just a few hours – midnight Eastern, 9pm Pacific – GT5 Prologue will be available for download on the newly-redesigned PLAYSTATION Store at a price of $39.99. With 70 cars, drift mode, interior dash view, and online racing with up to 16 players, it’s a must-have racing game for your PS3 library. According to IGN, “you won’t be able to put the controller down.”
So which controller will help get you the best times in GT5 Prologue? In case you missed it, Producer Taku Imasaki and Associate Producer Christian Hinojosa-Miranda conducted a live chat on the PlayStation.com forums on Monday. In it, they shared their controller picks, compared GT5 Prologue vs Gran Turismo HD Concept, and what you can expect even after GT5 Prologue’s release. Check out the full transcript here.
For continuing updates on GT5 Prologue, you’ll wanna bookmark http://www.us.playstation.com/granturismo/. See you online!
That’s some really cool stuff right there. I’m gonna have to wait as I’m out of cash during the mid of the month.
got my copy already :) but im finishing downloading MGO beta before trying it
Of course GameStop, BestBuy, CircuitCity, and Wal-Mart do not have this on the shelves yet…just retarded! One of these days things will go my way…
I already got my Bluray copy thanks. ;-]
yeah, but I’m getting it on BluRay when I do get it lol. No way in hell I’m going to be restricted to one user account. That’s just screwed up lol.
i don’t like racing games(i suck at them). ill probably buy it anyway once i add more money to my account for another game though.
I might get it. The will be my first Grand Turismo.
I’ll download this as soon as I muster the strength to get up from this chair. Ate a little too much spaghetti. That stuff will “stuff” you.
As soon as I see it on a Canadian store shelf; it’s as good as mine! :-) eh!
Now THIS is how the Playstation Store should be run. Update it with content when you get it, not just waiting until a certain day in the week. I hope you guys try doing more of this in the future, because an advantage the competition has over the Playstation Store is the frequent updates. It’s not fun getting content later than 360 users for multiplatform games (like Rock Band) when it could be put up at least on the same day.
Thanks for the news of the special store update for Prologue though.
OMG!!!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOOOOoooou SONY!!!!
Did you guys fix the bug in the store where new content only shows up on Thursdays?
hopefull i can stay awkae to download it. a question though, is the store going to update all at once or am i gonna have to wait til midday to get something besides GT5
Been waiting for this moment since E3, 2005! It’s finally here… congrats to all PS3 owners.
Finally!! I’ll be downloading this game very soon.
Quick question about the price on PSN in Canada…
Will it be priced equal to the US game liked boxed games are, or will it be overpriced compared to the US price like all other PSN games are?
Damn, I think that just sold it to me, I was gonna wait it out for a while, but I’m semi-bored now. And since the MGO beta isn’t ready for play yet….
Yup. Gran Turismo it is.
sony do something about the mgo beta code problem!And did it come out on the blu ray disc yet?
i mean did gran Turismo is that on blu ray yet?
My god it looks gorgeous.
@erico316: Get in touch with Konami, they’ll give you a proper code. No reason to whine about that here.
Quick question where do they post all of the blogs from is it on the west coast? And what time should we be expecting the new update thursday the 17th im on the east coast so if you say 1pm i guess thats 4pm for me.
I hear people say that nobody plays Kane & Lynch anymore but thats a lie almost all my friends still play it and we all can’t wait till the new maps come out because it’s ben 5 months since the game came out can’t wait to kill traitors on the new maps.
Can us Brits expect to be overcharged £39.99 (i.e double the price of anyone else). Or are we just not going to be given access to it on the PS Store?
Nice.
we are watching the future of the consoles and the video games………….. download games to our HD to avoid the piracy, but i go for my blu-ray copy
If the future of consoles is paying for demos, then I’m out.
This is NOT a demo, give it a rent at least, you’ll be pleased
Playing it now..It is really fun and I’ve never been the biggest Grand Turismo Fan. You did a fantastic job on the look of the game and I’ve been playing another racing game (starts with a F) and this is much better looking for sure..I need some time with it to say more,but it’s a definite worthy purchase.
cool
i already bougth the blue ray version, about releasing a patch so i dont have to put in the disc to play, since the game already installed 5 gb worth of data…, im sure you can do it, do the rigth thing…
Yeah yeah yeah! Mignight Launch for the WINNNNNNNNNNN! Is the store update to?
also… it came out in canada yesterday #10
i’m getting alot of jaggies in game
what’s that about?
still looks good but maybe it’s better on 1080p
Will the canadian version be overpriced on the PSN store (as is everything else)?
Ok, this may seem weird as a repsonse, but nobody wants to tell me on the blog or via “contact us” on the site if it will be fixed or not. I’m not buying anything on the PSN store until the prices are fixed. Our dollar has been on par or almost for a while now, and never have the prices lowered to reflect that. As a gamer, I feel somewhat cheated. Yes, right now I’m angry, but that’s because of the lack of response from anyone at sony. (please, don’t give me the “letter 3987” response, if you can’t answer, find someone who can)
Hi Gothdom, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will also be priced $39.99 in Canada on PSN, so same as the US.
