look a that, it has more included in it than most full racing games.. i'm holding off for the full version though

[jwatt]

I was thinking about holding off too but gt5 most likely will not make it this year. Plus I want to play this and gta4 together, I think that's a nice combo.

[ruibing]

I need a normal on-road racing game this year, and there's nothing like GT5 right now. Between this and NFS Carbon, it's definitely GT5 Prologue.

[Blasphemy]

I wish the PS store version was cheaper considering it's not being sold be a retailer and Sony doesn't have to pay for packing and shipping. Anyway I will deftness pick this one up on the 17th.

[Skerj]

Agreed, if the PSN version were at least 10 dollars cheaper then I'd pick up that version. Now if I decide to get it I'll just grab the disc.

[ruibing]

I prefer the disc version; same reason I'll always prefer Blu Ray to DLC.

[The gaming GOD]

But for me, I have to have the blu ray. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's just the sense of security. Like if my hard drive gets wiped, I'd lose the game too. It's the same reason I purchased warhawk on blu ray. Plus, it's more collectible as a disc

[cyclindk]

You think we'll be allowed to download it on up to five other PS3s if we get the downloadable version?

[JoelR]

I love my GT and they have my favorite car (just like mine that burned T_T)

RX-7 Spirit R Type A

so yes - first day buy for me as well

Blu-ray Edition

[tweaker]

2 player split screen. wow it wasn't it the japan version.

[ruibing]

In an interview they announced that they were able to add a bunch of new modes and cars in between the time between the NA and JP releases. You can find it all at gametrailers.

[1-800-4MY-XBOX]

1-800-4MY-XBOX for all your coffin needs.

[The gaming GOD]

you get a bubble for that

[rushbd]

It's really tempting now. I'll get it after GTAIV i think. Advantage of DLC is ofcourse you can play without the disc anytime.

[akaFullMetal]

sounds just as good as a regular game, wonder how much more the actual game will have? cant wait for this, looks so awesome !!!

[PimpHandStrong]

thats the car that struck me. When i was much younger i seen one ripping down the highway and i remember the sound. It sounded like a rice burner on roids...just deep fast revving madness

nice

[sak500]

Bouncing off of the walls @ 100mph feature, is it still in for the "real simulator"?

[bioshock]

great marketing strategy by sony bringing 3 games GT5, GTA4 and MGS4 in a span of 2 months...defintely will boost a whole lotta sales..

[Le-mo]

Definitely day one.

[level 360]

Yeah holding-off... my *ss you silly Fake ( 1st comment* ). Bet you'ed get it once it comes-out on said date.
Never doubted my pre-order purchase. I would have wanted for the game to have damage-mode, but for now a minor complaint which would be addressed with the full version next year ( '09 ).
Good news to hear of more additional cars.

[permutated]

I played this at GDC. All I can say is...wow.

The cars handled like a dream, and they had this crazy racing chair which had a back piece that moved when you would brake or turn sharply .

I've been thinking about buying a PS3, but nothing has convinced me more than that playthrough.

This coming from a guy who's never enjoyed a GT game until then.

[The Wood]

good on ya. Like most things in life you'll never know if you'll like something until you give it a try

[Bathyj]

I'm not waiting a year. This will be the 1st time I buy a prologue and I cant wait.

Those waiting for the fabled damage in GT5 might feel a bit stupid if it doesn't make it in, which I dont think it will. And who cares anyway, I buy these games to drive, I buy Burnout to crash.

[novaIS350]

If anyone read the latest EGM issue, they were bashing prologue because they said it would only have 30 cars. I guess they jumped the gun on printing wrong information. Misinformation at it's finest folks.

I can't wait to see what the tuned Lexus IS-F drives like. My GT25 wheels hasn't seen action in a while.

[Samer305]

FERRARI F40!!!!! WOOOHOOO now just need the F355 and F50 and also I guess the ENZO.
