1. I'm still angry about having to pay for a demo. If this demo does indeed have 16 cars and a couple of tracks then I will just skip Prologue all together.

2. So wait, is it free or not I think I'm misunderstanding something here...

3. "Gran Turismo 5: Prologue demo free directly from the PlayStation Store"...

Am I misunderstanding what you're saying here?

4. Demo for the Demo is free. GT5 : Prologue which IMO is a demo for the full version of GT5 is not free. I'm not going to pay for a demo and I'll wait for the full version of GT5.

5. no you arent. this si how it goes

GT 5 Prologue demo (free) is the demo to ---> GT 5 Prologue ($43 bucks) which is the demo to the official Game ---> GT 5 (price unknown)

so basically there are two demos to the official game

7. Hmm we've had the demo (HD concept) for the demo (prologue demo) of the demo (prologue) of the final game (GT5). Confusing as it is, I think I'll stick to free demos- the idea of paying that much for one seems a little crazy, even if it is the best thing since sliced bread. On another note, I'm pleased to hear this (free) demo is coming and hoping they release one for MGS soon, too.

11. Wow Starfire
GTHD demo of GT5 Prologue demo, which is the demo of GT5 prologue, which is the demo of the real game? Damn! Remember the old days where company's would release the game. Good times, good times.

13. Is there for NA store or JAP?

14. who says that GT5 will be ONLY $60 considering the amount of production going into it? If Prologue is $40, it seems to me GT5 will be without a doubt higher than $40.

15. *than $60

16. Makes me glad i'm not interested in GT series

17. Reading its wiki, it seems that only release dapes for Japan and Europe has been confirmed. And also, it seems that the Blu Ray version includes damage while the PS Store version does not.

18. @Cory, “I'm still angry about having to pay for a demo. If this demo does indeed have 16 cars and a couple of tracks then I will just skip Prologue all together.”

Erm, if I understand the article above correctly, those 16 cars and a couple of tracks will be FREE.

I don’t understand all the fuss, there was also a GT4: Prologue. Never played it, because I could care less for GT, but really nothing new is happening here.

You say that it’s ridiculous to pay money for GT5: Prologue, even though you don’t know how big it is and whether it is worth the price (PS Fanboy consistently keeps referring to it as a ‘demo’, but I think they’re just bitter), just that later on there will be another GT game that is more or less a sequel to the prologue.

Well hey, if you’re not going to pay for games that get a sequel that’s bigger and better, then you shouldn’t have bought GTA, Tekken, Need for Speed, Ridge Racer, FIFA, or any other franchise that doesn’t restrict itself to 1 title. Because they’re all essentially the same games, many of them re-use content from previous games, and there’s always a ‘bigger and better’ version coming.

19. jeffmasson:
Dont confuse people by making sense ;)
Sense goes out the window when a perfectly good oppertunity arrises for a rant, so whats your problem? ;)

I've bought the Prologue/Concept versions when they've come out, i know its not a full version, and for the £20 they cost (think i paid £18 from Play) they're prefect for filling that long gap that only ever seems to grow longer as time passes by.
Still, that said, if they're actually daft enough to release a Prologue demo with reportedly half the tracks and half the cars for free, rather than £20ish for the full prologue i have to say im leaning towards being a tight sod. If its single player only (which i'd bet it is) then the money is coming out, i'd have no problem with that. I dont mind paying £20 for something i know i'll get my moneys worth from, even when i know in 6 months time the full thing will be available i'd have my moneys worth from it.
I really cant understand what all the fuss and whining is all about, first people moan about having to pay for a demo (Prologue - dont get me started!) and now they're spitting out their dummy because theres going to be a free demo for Prologue for the cheapskates who whined before.

Whats the problem here, one minute people moan about lack of games, and lack of worthwhile PSN content, now its moaning about a free demo everyone previously thought they'd have to pay to try! Poly-D cant please anyone it seems.

20. For god's sake chill out. Every version of Prologue has cost money, and people have always bought it. If you don't like GT enough to pay for Prologue, then don't buy it. There's a stripped-down free version for you lightweights.

It's pretty simple and it doesn't require whining on the internet.
