Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is set to weigh in at 1870MB on PlayStation Network when it goes on sale next Thursday, 27th March.
That's how big the game was when we downloaded it to put together our exclusive review of the PAL version, and Sony has confirmed to Eurogamer that it will be the same when the game goes live on the PlayStation 3 Store.
iLLGaming contributor Anikait Makkar writes about the gaming industry's current business practices, and how it affects the consumer.
free to play no matter how good the game is if it is a free to play i dont play.
i want to pay full price for a full balanced experience unlocks shouldn't be earned by money but by the hard work you put in the game.
my free to play nightmares are borderlands,diablo,titanfall,w arhawk 2,halo and star wars battlefront.
Worst business practices
Paying to play online (PS+, XBL)
Season passes
disc locked content
Paid DLC (DLC should be free unless it is significant enough to be an expansion)
Paying to use your own internet, DLC (all of it, I'd rather have expansion packs with a ton of content), DLC coming out a week after the game's release, incomplete games with missing sections sold as DLC, pre order bonuses, short and pointless campaigns, not having server lists (like COD which insert you into random games and maps), expensive and permanent digital prices, yearly sequels with minor changes at full price, lack of challenging AI, lack of originality, and most of Micro$ofts "business practices." This may sound like a hateful statement, but I blame M$ for bringing most of these things to consoles. I remember when there free and inexpensive map packs on Live in the early years of 2006 and 2007, then they started pinching pennies.
Who else here has been gaming long enough to remember when paying $50 got you the WHOLE game? No left-out content sold as DLC, disc-locked content, season passes, outfits, avatars, etc.
Excuse me, I need to go have a cry at what has happened to my beloved hobby.

Man, I just cannot wait for this game. And Holy Sh1t with 1.9GB for a PSN game..?
Then again, MGS4 is on 50GB...so yeah.
wow biggest one ive seen so far.
I've already preordered 2 copies of GT5:P on Bluray. Looking forward to the game.
Btw: great image. ;)
Personally, I'm going for the Blu-ray.
How long do you think this will take to download upon release?? FOR EVER and i aint waiting that long ;)
I would never download a full game when given the choice, I didn't download Warhawk either, got the disc version.
I like to display my collection and having more discs is so much better than the few seconds saved selecting it from the HDD.
If digital download becomes commonplace, this will become not only the average, but a small download.
Can anyone confirm if you could share the GT5P downloaded version across 3 PS3's at once? I'm going for the multi-monitor setup and it saves me a bunch instead of buying the game 3 times.
