There's no word on whether or not the US version of Gran Turismo HD will meet the same fate. It was a great gift while it lasted, and it's time to move on to bigger (and hopefully, better) things.

Don't take this the wrong way but you can't play Gran Turismo like Mario Kart. You have to balance gas and brake.
Something to notice if you feel inclined to play GT:HD again. The cars do not seem to collect shadows. I mean you can't see shadows on the cars which is odd when they are on the road beneath you. Just something to check out if your bored.

5. Heishiro, thats pathetic, all the gran turismo prologues required you to pay for them.

7. #6, Not a fanboy post here, but there were more copies of halo 3 sold in 24 hours than there are playstation 3 consoles sold in the US. So unless 100% of the Blu-Ray watching people (cause that's about all u can do at this point with it) buy it, your MGS4 dream will never see the light of day.

8. @ jake.....you can't compare the sales of a console to the sales of a game
thats like saying Apple has sold more songs on iTunes than Microsoft has sold Zune players...
i agree that his post made no sense by any means, but that just wasn't a good comparison.

9. @ Justin --
you missed his point. He's not comparing console to game sales, he's saying that, with all respect to Kojima, MGS4 can't break the sales of Halo3 because there aren't enough PS3 owners to outdo H3 (even if the sales were 100%).. Unless, of course, the PS3 Nation buys 4 or 5 copies each.

10. That is because Japan will get a demo of concept.

11. @7 & 9
Actually, although worldwide Halo 3 sales for the first day are placed at 2.45M copies, worldwide PS3 sales are at 4.64M consoles to date. Only 2.02M in the US, sure, but don't forget that the rest of the world buys stuff too. If everyone PS3 owner in Japan and half the ones in the rest of the world bought MGS4, it'd top Halo 3's sales. Not that its a likely thing to happen, but if you're going to be a fanboy and bash another fanboy, at least be accurate.
That being said, MGS4 and GT5 Prologue both look awesome.

You tell them!
And, hopefully by the time of MGS4 the PS3 install base is much higher.

15. On the japanese store there is a banner about GT5 prologue and the date 28/10/2007...... I can't understand japanese but maybe it's the day of demo

18. Was Halo 3 that short that the fanboys are already trolling forums again?

I geuss so.
Either way, I wan't impressed with GTHD at all. I loved GT on PSX and they they mucked it all up. Then I played Burnout 3. Then I played GTHD. By that time GTHD felt like trying to give a cat a walk on the moon with a skateboard tied to your legs: slow and floaty. I'll keep my $40 (I geuss that's the price) and spend it on Burnout Paradise.

20. There are also Xbox 360 owners who bought multiple copies of the game. There was an article where a guy was interviewed placing his pre-orders for Halo 3. He was getting the Ultimate Helmet edition for himself, the Premium edition for his wife, and two normal editions for each of his kids.
