GT5 Prologue, PS3 Bundle for Europe

Sony has announced Gran Turismo 5 Prologue / PS3 bundle packs will be available in Europe on March 29th. If you haven't already purchased a PS3, this will be a great opportunity to pick one up along with the new game. The real question: why are there no plans to bring this package to North American markets..? Of course, if you've already got a PS3, you can go ahead and pre-order your copy of GT5 Prologue at Amazon right now!

This game despite being an extended DEMO will sell millions of PS3 this year in europe.

MGS4 alone would move 5 million PS3s this year and so will FF13

PS3 will murder competition with this.

MARCH 29th will see the TOTAL END for X360 in europe ( It is half dead there already)

So it look like Europe is getting GT5 Prologue before the United State. Well at least Sony is finally give them something before us American, and the Japanese gamers.

Prologue has been out in Japan since December.

[TheHater]

I know it been out in Japan. But it not out in the US as yet.

You can find a 40gb PS3 for well under £300 and on amazon.co.uk I believe GT5 prologue is only £18 anways if this bundle was to contain say 2 dualshock 3 controllers as well then i think that would make for a better bundle.

[resistance100]

So you rather pay £320 then?

Plus this way everyone who gets a Ps3 gets to experience Gran Turismo prologue, which also is a great game for showing what there new console is capable of.

Unless they go for the movie bundle

[Presentist]

But...it's not even the full game.

Why would you make a bundle for a huge demo?

Japan is strange :P

[thetorontokid]

Prologue alone has more content and is overall better than alot of full racer games. I will just wait for the full game. In my eyes this bundle can't touch the MGS4 bundle we are getting here in north america, but the prologue is no joke either.

[TheMART]

Nice to give away a demo, a supposed car sim with no car damage model that can be named arcade better, isn't it Sony?

[Milky]

Well, sony knew this would be a big hit in europe and I am extremely happy that I can get a taste for it very soon rather than waiting for damage.

[Zhuk]

I was not too pleased with GT5:P, I guess Forza 2 just spoiled me it really has set the bar that GT5 will (and is) having a tough time reaching

[Milky]

I disagree. I think GT5:P is far far superior for overall experience, but a few features in forza 2 are a little nicer, just a little.

[rushbd]

And i though you died from shame. good comeback LOL

[devilhunterx]

you finally actually played a PS3 game!!!

[whoelse]

This news is old TOO!

[Glad to be a gamer]

I have to disagree although forza 2 has a lot of great features having now seen it on my HD tv i realise the limitations of the dvd format on the 360. I mean some cars look great but others look terrible with the jaggies and limited lighting.

I know that gameplay wise forza 2 is brilliant but i bought a next gen console partly for the visuals and for me Forza 2 is a let down in this department which does take away from the experience. The sound is also not great on it.

For most games i guess dvd is fine but for big racing simulators or rpgs there is not enough space to push the visuals unless you have multiple discs. But i wonder as developers get more at home with next gen visuals whether games like dmc, resident evil will be hampered by
dvd. I mean dmc looks beautiful on the 360 but if it was a ps3 exc i wonder whether it would of looked better?

Im not sure due to both consoles having memory restrictions. although it has been said that the 360 has more memory due to the integrated gpu mem and the os taking up less of the 512 capacity.But hey you can not argue with results and the result is that Gt prologue is the best looking racing game followed by pgr4. But pgr has weather intergrated and simple custom paint jobs.

Stop wasting your time fanboy brains are made like toilets, they are only usefull for taking the sh__it the compagny trows at them.

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 3]

Poor xBots will NEVER play this great game!!! ;-D

[TheMART]

Jealousy... on having no impact when a car hits a wall or another car with 200 km ph, having no scratch or nothing that affects the driving capabilities of the car???

Yeah... Real jealous about that in a sim racer, really.

[heyheyhey]

the full GT5 will have have damage modelling, it was confirmed by Polyphony Digital

more-over, since PD are perfectionists they will be aiming to create very realistic damage modelling, with real impact and punch- unlike forza 2 where you can hit something at 200mph and get a tiny scratch

so in short: yes you are jealous

you say you couldn't care less about MGS4, you say FF doesn't interest you, you say GT5 is crap- but we all know you want these games

im gonna enjoy laughing at your feeble attempts to pretend that you don't want God of War 3, Motorstorm 2, Resistance 2, Infamous (few people know about this one ATM, but believe me- they will soon), the two ICO games etc etc

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 3]

Lovely game BUY IT! ;-P

[heyheyhey]

nice bundle

but i think people should wait out for the MGS4 bundle, people who really want to play GT5 probably don't want to have end up with a completely obsolete game (prologue) when the full game launches

[GavLam88]

I want to know when they will begin packaging DS3 controllers with these bundles in Europe

[resistance100]

Can i just ask how this was approved?

This news story was posted about 4/5 days ago along with the blu-ray bundle

[Blasphemy]

Happens all the time. You can report it as duplicate and some people will still approve it.

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

[otherZinc]

Yeah, this game is supposed to sell on its own but it cant?, didn't in Japan!, oh well.

Go ahead SONY, with your Nintendo Wii tricks to increase your software totals.
