PS3 Racing fans can officially start their engines on April 17, 2008 according to a blog posted tot he Sony official Playstation Blog as that will be the date that the latest in the long running Gran Turismo racing simulation series hits retail with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is the first commercial game in the series to reach the HD generation consoles and there are high expectations from gamers regarding its release. Gran Turismo HD was one of the first live demonstrations shown at the announcement of the Ps3 back in 2006 and the stunning graphics have been making gamers lose control ever since.
Featuring 50 cars and a preview of what the final Gran Turismo 5 title will have in store, this retail Blu-Ray title will also be downloadable via the Playstation Store, both at the discounted price of $40.
Will it be enough to hold over fans of the series until the full GT5 makes it out of development?

I cant wait for this
Its shifted 200,000 units so far in Japan (not including downloads) which is fantastic considering its basically a demo.
I got Prologue 4 and it’s basically a waste of money. Rent it, but don’t buy it. A demo is a demo is a demo and no amount of glorification is going to stop it being that. Good that it has multiplayer functionality, but you might as well get a full game for the price.
*No, this isn’t anti-GT, it’s anti-buying an over priced demo*
$40 for 50 cars, 5 tracks, 16-player online, and GT TV.
Considering that Gran Turismo 5 is probably still pretty far away, I’ll buy it, most likely.
any racing game that looks that sweet and is available for 60 bucks(aus$) is worth it, especially for gran turismo and motorsport enthusiasts alike
they have got my sale quick smart cant wait to get it
