Alright, so I just ordered Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for PS3 from Japan. It's not released here until March, and I read from Playstation and on some forums that PS3 games aren't region bound and can be played by any PS3. It was $50 shipped from Play-Asia.com.

Or you can wait until mid March and get it for $40 in the US:

"Short" Description from EBGames.com

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue features over 40 stunning cars – including vehicles by Lotus, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Ferrari for you to race on seriously realistic, real-life tracks: including the Eiger Nordwand, the London City Track and Suzuka – all rendered in incredible High Definition graphics. There's also all-new driving physics for the most lifelike driving experience ever and new, improved opponent artificial intelligence for the toughest race challenge yet.

But that's not all – for the first time ever in the history of Gran Turismo, you'll now be able to race online. Up to 16 players will be able to go head-to-head on some of the world's best racetracks on PLAYSTATIONNetwork – all you need to get racing is a broadband connection and PS3. Once you're up and revving, Global Online Rankings and the My Garage homepage feature will leave the world in no doubt as to just who is the best at Gran Turismo.

And then there's the Online Dealership, providing a wealth of information on cars and manufacturers and also Gran Turismo TV – a dedicated online channel available exclusively from PSN and packed with some of the greatest content that Motorsport, car manufacturers and TV has to offer.

The graphics are sick and from the available PS3 demo, the physics are amazing.











AND Gran Turismo TV comes with it!!! You can watch tons of car related programs... including Top Gear and BMI!





With GT5P you can play up to 16 players online, you have about 40 cars, and 5 tracks. Which should hold us over until GT5 is released.

Post up anything you've got or now about GT5.

-Steven

GT4 Prologue came out 1 year before GT4, so we probably still have a year til GT5... unless someone knows otherwise.

 

I think I need to save up for a PS3.

 

I bet you $1 the Subarus are gonna handle like crap.

 

lol why do you say that al??

 

steven i didnt know you had a ps3! let me know how that game works out, ill buy it and we can race together online!! HOW CUTE!@!!

 

sweet!!! do you have need for speed pro street or dirt??? if so, we can play online now!

 

i have it. its alright, not as fun as i thought. graphics r super nice, but u cant mod the cars. u can only race the stock cars, and the events r pretty limited. u can probably beat the game in a day if u wanted. not worth the price IMO, i'd rather wait for the full version.

 

That looks sweet! PS3 FTmfW?

-Brian

 

Wasn't too bad in the prologue demo in Japanese. Then again, i could only use the new 08 sti. The gtr is just amazing.
