I have a question about the PSN that relates to this news: Is it possible for someone to preorder a title that will be available for download via the PSN? (Steam has this feature and I don't know if the PSN does because of not owning a PS3.)
One issue I haven't seen addressed regarding this title is how long the Online support would be there for.
I would assume that there would be alot of pressure to shut off the Online portion once the full GT5 comes out and I understand that the Japanese version of Prologue only supports online until this summer some time.
As a casual fan of GT I would not purchase this game if the Online component is less than 1 year.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is set to weigh in at 1870MB on PlayStation Network when it goes on sale next Thursday, 27th March.
That's how big the game was when we downloaded it to put together our exclusive review of the PAL version, and Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer that it will be the same when the game goes live on the PlayStation 3 Store.
"Prologue's definitely not just a demo, but it's not quite a game, either - it's more of a play-set for petrolheads, declining to impress more than a tokenistic difficulty curve upon you and letting you tinker and challenge yourself instead. "
@apujanata, Though the GLS does include digitally distributed units as does every title on the simExchange does. The NPD futures of course do not because NPD is supremely lacking in getting all sales of titles counted - not just retail.
quick question. does anyone know if NPD is going to include the digital distro units in their numbers? probably not, right? essentially, this NPD future is for the disc copies only?
@kspraydad, I couldn't find GT3 : Prologue in ELSPA GLS list. Does this mean it was not released in UK, or does it mean it didn't even reach 100K GLS ? Anyone from UK can help me ?
the GT4 prologue edition in EU didnt sell very well IIRC but this one obviously is so its a bit hard to predict. i notice uve gone long on it just after i have :), i was on for a 150k day today anyway with 300k in community bonus totalling 450k but this will put me closer to 1.3mil or above if it stays at current price :)
