It's another opinion piece much like when we asked how your
Warhawk purchase would go down. The rules are simple: the Poll Police met up with the Karma Kops for coffee (they're not the best at spelling) and discussed how most people would get their
Gran Turismo 5: Prologue fix. We know
over a million Blu-ray copies were reserved in Europe, but how about the rest of the world? Are you more interesting in downloading the game or buying the Blu-ray?
We don't have much of a personal take on this one, because it is a tough call.
GT5:P isn't quite a full game, but it's so much more than a demo. Because of that, buying it in either form is roughly equal in our minds because it's not full price and it's not a full game. But it sort of is. It's a conundrum, but as long as we get to play it, we're happy. Are we happy about
last week's poll results? Take the jump and find out.
It's hard to describe what makes the downloadable content for these games different than something like
Warhawk,
Motorstorm, and
Folklore. We suppose all these listed games are of a similar genre and all these listed games have weekly content added to enhance their song lists. Maybe we're making too many stipulations in our polls. All-inclusive polls are more annoying, though, because there are so many games to list. But the clear victor is
Rock Band, with the voices of nearly half the voters. After that, people claim the three games are over-hyped and mediocre. Who knows! Thanks for voting!

It's all about an unfounded rumor at this point isn't it?

The Playstation PC Store website has been hacked. There's a big difference between that and the "PSN" getting hacked. It's been fixed.

There should have been an option called "Glad to have the choice between a bluray dvd or download"

Everyone says the BR was the 'no-brainer' choice.
How so? I split my purchase of GT5:P on the psn with 4 other people, meaning I paid only $15. (AUD) instead of the full 60.
Now tell me, whats the no brainer?

It's cheaper on blu-ray in many shops and comes with some extra video content? For people who aren't going to split it with three other people the disc is the way to go.

People are reporting that you need to be signed in as the person who bought the game to play it.
I believe the No Brainer is to buy it fairly.

'Fair' is subjective. Especially in the case of the PSN, where content is either made specific to one username or available for sharing.
Examples include Tekken 5: DR Online (restricted to one user), versus the original Tekken 5, Rock Band songs, et cetera (downloadable on up to five separate systems).

I still find it funny, how people were actually comparing forza 2 with grand turismo. LOL

Thats not gonna work. If you play it your friend cant play it for 24 hours after you play it. Plus you have to be logged in to that account to play the game unlike other PSN games. This isnt worth downloading, Get the blue ray.

The online could be more broken! Not by much though - no friend invite?! What is that about? I'm bewildered.

Is it true that if I buy gran turismo 5 prologue, I can download the rest of it on Playstation Network for about 10 dollars?

I am not trying to be a pain in the butt but is there any chance you can make the poll stay at PS3fanboy. Because the other fanboy sites like Nintendo Wii Fanboy when you put in your answer the site updates you with your answer so you stay on the site you are at plus then you have no pop ups.
For me I am going to wait to buy the real game.
