2. Nice, bit small, but nice ;)

Hopefully they are putting new tyre screech noises in too.

A tad more AA would also be nice.

3. I like to tilt my dragon. :P
Actually, my girls like to play LAIR more than Super rub a dub... but can you blame them??? They love to fly around and blow up the boats, they even cheer each other on. Who said the game wasn't accessible... they are only 7 and 4.

5. I swear I've heard this before.

I need some help with the GT5P demo. How do I unlock new cars? I have raced and won with the three that are available.

Also what does the second option on the pre-race screen (tires,traction etc) change?

7. "In many ways, Polyphony's approach to Prologue is akin to releasing a beta (that you have to pay for)."

And what might those ways be? This writer never posited.

The only way that it is akin to a beta is that they are managing data for an online experience. Everything else about the game is not beta, all that stuff is finished. The game itself is done, it's the online experience they want to measure and potentially shape.

This is actually very smart. They can monitor real users in a real online space, using a game engine that is complete, except for online. It's also smart, and I'm glad they're doing it, because GT5 has so much to live up to, and it HAS to get online right. And because the game engine is complete, they can offer updates to the online experience without worrying about having to tweak them too much for the full release, the GT5 version.

A Gran Turismo game with at least 5 tracks (can't remember if it's 5 or 8), and around 40 cars, any player of this franchise knows, is no few-hour demo. There's enough packed in there for 20 hours of gameplay, at the very least, because of the depth of the simulator. When the full game of Heavenly Sword, selling for $60, has about 8-12 hours of gameplay, doesn't it seem a bit disingenuous to label as "demo" a Gran Turismo game which sells for less and has at least double the hours of gameplay? Look up disingenuous. People use it a lot who try to make statements that simple analysis reveals are not accurate, at best (Bush, et al).

8. @calvin: Hang on! You might be getting an HDTV sooner than you think - these things are getting cheaper every few months! You might only be 14, but you still believe in Santa (Father Christmas) don't you? (My parents hate me because I still believe - and I'm 37!) XD

Here is a cheap 1080p to grab here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8386285&type=product&id=1181831586462

Or a 720p: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8275047&type=product&id=1171058029183

If you think they are still expensive, think about it like this: Last year, these sets would've gone for 500-1000USD more than they are right now. In another year, they will be even cheaper! =) So, if you start saving and doing odd jobs around the neighborhood - you could get one sooner than you think! Keep positive and never say never! =D

11. Paying for beta, how typical of sony. Plus its not just a small amount its 45 bucks for a beta.

12. I have been having *SO* much fun with the current demo. I will def. be getting this when it comes out, even at $40. I just hope its coming to the U.S. Store. I know the JP and EU store are getting it for sure soon, but haven't read any detail for the U.S. Store.

13. Oh, so now it’s a beta.

PS3Fanboy, make up your mind!
