Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Getting Significant Update Tomorrow

The father of Gran Turismo, Kazunori Yamauchi, has suggested that we might not see the full Gran Turismo 5 before 2010. Continued support for GT5 Prologue becomes even more important as a result. We’ll be seeing the first wave of that support tomorrow when Sony launches Gran Turismo TV in full force, which will consist of both free and pay-per-view programming, including Top Gear, Super GT, and Best Motoring. (You can find the full listing of content here.)
For the first two weeks, all of the PPV content will be available for the discounted price of $.99 before shooting back up to the regular pricing, where content “will start at $1.99.” You can draw your own conclusions about how expensive the programming might become.
Aside from the Gran Turismo TV updates, the game itself will be updated, too. Changes to penalty judgments, additional tire choices for Time Trial mode (I can only imagine how insanely boring that must sound to non-hardcore fans), and improved physics during collisions while playing online. Nothing game-changing from the sound of it, but tweaks are more than welcome.

I’m looking forward to the improved penalty system and I just hope they have sorted out the problem where you get a collision penalty for hitting someone who has lost it in front of you and there is absolutely nothing you can do to avoid it.
Such a disappointing racing game.
ooooooh
