1 - What the hell?!
WOW!
Wasn't expecting that.
Makes me wonder if I should pre-order mine in the US, cuz I was just gonna walk in and purchase.

1.1 - This comes out on the 15th right?
And GTA comes out on the 28th or 29th. I think I see Sony's GTA prevention strategy. I never knew GT5 was this big. I might have to at least rent it. I was scared of the intense simulation of the game but "The Show 08" is said to be Sim heavy and I love it. Maybe I'll give GT a try...if I can find it for sale anywhere.

IGN has Prologue coming out on the 15th of April. What game are you talking about coming out this week?

Let me clarify, I'm talking about USA and not Europe.

It's very sim. I never could get into the series because it's the complete opposite of every other racer (arcade style). It's a gorgeous looking game, but still no car damage or effects on the environment

i wouldn't call gt an intense simulation.

forza was an intense simulation, thats why it was no fun.

i can't wait for gt5 but just wanted to make the point that while the handling is pretty realistic, i would not call it an intense simulation. i think gt has a perfect balance between realism and fun.

i just ordered a ps3 to play this, can't wait

just try it out and you will see if you like it. For me sim racers > arcade racers. They can be just as fun too. You learn to drive realistically.
Anyways i am very surprised that this game got sold out but the good news is, there are still the psn downloads but it still seems to be available at other retailers.

PS3 might be able to pass the wii in UK. GT5P is number 1 on amazon uk and GTA4 for ps3 is number 2 both finally surpassing wii fit sales. I am surprised EU is embracing the game so well considering it is only a prologue.

LOL @bumnut GT5 is still more sim than forza to me. But i haven't really settled in to play forza well enough. I had forza around the time prologue JP demo dropped and i played the demo more than forza 2. lol

im not sure why i got disagrees for my comment.

i love the game, i just said that the driving is not super realistic.

id hate to be in a car with one of the guys that disagreed with me.

if you think real cars drive the same as gt cars you are in for a shock.

Note that i didnt click on disagree.

But, if you were talking about GT4, i agree, It was not as sim as we would believe.

But obviuosly, you havent played GT5P on Simulation mode.

Buy it if you like GT series. I've played and beat GT1,2,3,4 and it's nothing like Need for Speed or any other racing game.

Besides its worth it for the Ferrari F1 alone. They must be doing something right, it looks like it should outsell Forza in s day.

6.5 - you guys are off by like 11 cars
LOL!!! the roster for EU/UK and NA stands at 71 cars, GTTV, HOME support , Online 16 player races and GT events, 12 tracks total, 5 with reversed and 1 with 2 variations, and leather boards and online chat and messenging.

Thats no demo, this is a brief and great preview of the full game save for 1/10th the car selection and 1/2 the tracks total. Forza cant even sneeze at this "DEMO"... This Game runs at 60fps and 1080p..... the only other demo i know runs at that resolution was Ninja gainden Sigma LOL!!! and probably RIIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAAAACEEEEEER!!!!!

dont call it a demo, it's a Prologue of a full game just save for cars and and tracks

But with the production cost remark, your probably 100% spot on.

with sales like these i think sony's looking at a profit. great that would only mean the full game will be magical, just imagine weather effects, car damage and perhaps a better attention to detail to the backgrounds. not to mention +600 cars and +40 tracks, I'll be in a drivers heaven.

The game has been shipped to retailers early, or it sits in a warehouse, in Poland you can get anything early as long as you know a person or two ;) I know cuz I grew up there.
