There is an issue with this game and a particular receiver. The Yamaha HTR 5920 does not recognize the sound put out by GT5P, and I have been forced to use the HDMI and my TV’s sound, rather than the optical cable and the Dolby that it supports.
I looked on the official PS board and there are at least a couple of other people with this equipment and this issue. I called Sony, but the guy there didn’t even know that the game was out, much less how to resolve this issue.
Anyway, I hope that a future update resolves the problem, and I certainly hope that the game proper doesn’t have this annoying glitch.
Thanks, very nice game.

dont download it, its worth it to buy the disc. The console at my house is shared between people and as so one account downloaded the game and I can’t play it on my account offline or online. What a waste had I known that this was the case I would not have purchased it on the playstation store!!!

@SLICKT8000 and all other naysayers:

This is called simple market economics. If you don’t feel like paying $40 for a racing game with three series of a dozen races, 70 unlockable cars, 6 tracks with 12 variations a decent sound track, and well executed online competition then don’t.

Personally speaking, this is more complete of a game than Motorstorm was (and I loved Motorstorm, so don’t get the wrong impression). There are more vehicles, there are more races and having to purchase future vehicles is slightly more interesting than just picking from anything available in the list.

The graphics, simulation, sound and environment in the game are simply excellent. GT5 Prologue is an incredible game, and SHOULD be $60 not $40. Its only because GT5 will be so much bigger and better yet (incredibly) that GT5P is being sold at a discount.

This is NOT, I repeat NOT a $10 mini-game or demo.

I need some help please! My hubby and I got our GT5 Prologue the day it came out in the stores, and have been playing. Just made it to S class, and FINALLY have enough $$ to buy the Formula 1 Ferrarri but each time we try to purchase it it says that you cannot yet buy this item, but I can’t find anywhere, what else I have to do before I can buy it. What am I missing? If anyone has figured this out and can help, I’d so appreciate it.
Thanks ^_^

I am dissapointed in this game….how can you come out with the next game and cut the game down with hardly ANY of things found in previous games???? NO tuning your car??? (and yes i know there is a car tuning mode but i mean improving cars you have) NO licencing??? NO in depth races??? (Come on ive had the game for two days and im already in A class) How could you do this PD?? how?? Sure it looks pretty and plays well but after that its a severly dissapointing short lived and small game…I hope you have a good answer to this, ive bought evert GT game there was but after this i will not be buying the next one, unless Prologue is a very literall name.

Ok, I doubt anyone is still perusing this article at this time, but I downloaded GT5prologue and was enjoying it for a couple days, but now it seems the data won’t allow me to access it! I keep getting a “An error occuring during start” messages, and it won’t allow me to play. I don’t want to call Sony tech support and see if I can figure it out, but if I have to I will. I am attempting to redownload the file, and reinstall it, hopefully that fixes it, but I really don’t want to have to go buy the BD version as well just to get a working copy. Mainly because I know there is no way that SCEA will refund my PSN account or my credit card for it. The money has been spent, and I better have a working game at the end of this….

I love GT5 Prologue but mandatory installation sucks hardcore. What’s the deal Sony? If I knew that was the deal I would’ve not purchase the game. Also, there’s no custom music. That’s another minus in my book.

To be honest, I’m not a racing fan. However, Stephanie Yoshimoto, I did see a review of GTP on “On the Spot”. I must say that that game looked very dissapointing. I know that it is a driving simulation. However, now days, with the power that the console have, you have to incorporate some crash derby physics in there. And, I’m not saying that it has to be like Driver or Burnout. But when you hit a wall @ a 50 Mph, that car should not look the same as it did before you did it. That being said, the graphics looked well. I’m not a driving fan but I do like crashing cars in my spare time. I had GT3, it was ok for its time but I don’t like driving sims. I like driving games with a good sense of speed when I’m driving. I hope GT5 gives us that sense of speed people are used to nowadays. Hope you guys get this and read it.
