Sony on Tuesday said the precursor to Gran Turismo 5 will be available on Blu-ray and as a download from the PlayStation Store.

The highly anticipated game comes with 60 vehicles, 16-person online multiplayer, and rumble support via the soon to be released Dual Shock 3 controller. It will cost $39.99 on Blu-ray disc or as a download.

"Ten years following the introduction of Gran Turismo on PSOne, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue delivers the most realistic and technologically advanced racing experience on any platform," said Jeff Reese, SCEA's director of software marketing. "With 1080p graphics, revolutionary online features like Gran Turismo TV, and the new in-cockpit racing view, the world's best-selling racing franchise will once again set the standard for racing games."

Wasnt this game a free download on the Japan PSN store? Im sure it was. If so why the F do we have to pay for it. Proberly easyer to make a Japan PSN account and get it there for free. Im not paying $40 for a demo game.

That's a brilliant idea. If you can figure out where to go and how to do it, can you report back? tanx.

60 cars? why only 60? i want the hundreds that im used to out of the series...

^Well it is basically a demo. 60 cars for a "demo" is more then enough. And at the end of the day big amount of cars sound cool but do many people except for the extremly hardcore people actually use them.
