Ha, his face is class. What's he thinking?

Required HDD Volume More than 5121MB ! Yikes
Can see whay the online part is coming later.

[On The Edge of Insanity]

Mine probably won't be finished downloading before the 25th anyway then!

[huxley]

Why you planning on doing via xbox live? lol

I can see why they have delayed the online part, my guess is they want to get as many people as poss to download it before they open the online part.
The last thing Sony wants is bad press about the PSN

[On The Edge of Insanity]

In reality it probably won't be that drastic, but I doubt I'll have it done before most will have the disc version.

[Number45]

I wonder if there'll be a problem going online with the BR version on my US profile, given that the online part isn't available until Christmas Day? Hopefully it'll all be done in game rather than via the store, otherwise one of the main advantages of getting the BR version (Everything under one profile) goes out of the window! >_<

Really don't like to be getting over excited about something which is basically a demo but....AAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Phwaaa!

OK there might be the odd jaggy when it's in motion but still it looks the business!

[Wools]

That looks magnificant. I really will buy a PS3 for this.

[Atticus]

Just buy a 5000 yen PSN card from ebay like me and then get the code emailed to you

Then will I need to change the settings on my PS3 (pretend to be based in Japan)?

[VR46]

You'll need a Japan PSN Account set-up before you can enter the points.

There's a sticky at top of the PSN forum with instructions on how it's done.

Suppose they had to leave 1 for the full thing

Edit: ah, as it says in the link

[JP]

From that link:

Many fans of the series may also be pleased to learn that damage modelling has finally been implemented with Prologue. On the whole, the damage effects are quite realistic and we can safely say that the days of the Gran Turismo series being called a ‘bumper car simulator’ are over.

From that link:

Lemme guess, you were guest at Tengu Restaurant*?

* Yup, it is that bull**** spewing website.

OK there might be the odd jaggy when it's in motion but still it looks the business!

Those are typical Polyphony bullshots. Sure, it will look mighty fine in motion, and car modelling is second to none, but those pictures are touched.

[ChrisF]

So damage from day one then, not as a downloadable addon later? Good stuff!
