Stupid licensing issues... Ah well, I'm sure they'll have plenty of games to hold them over.

I dont get it. So Sony is Japan right? Japan is in Asia. And Asia is right next to Europe BUT NO America has to get everthing first *sulk*

Yeah, it was me that brought up this article, it's a shame though isn't it, not till 2009 oh well. Seems like 08 is getting weaker and weaker, so is 08 still the year of PS3 becuase it seems 360 is getting more announced exclusives while our exclusives are getting delayed.

Ohh yay more getting shafted.

Im a huge GT fan and all i can say if ure in UK just orde ure GT5 from NA! the ps3 is universal and the price is the same...

hmm no wonder we're getting prologue firs lol. but seriously this is such a joke every damn time. i personally blame being part of the EU but we'd also be screwed without 'em :( (sigh). hope 08 turns up some good releases.

i want to know why this is....?

were used 2 takin it up the a** but £19.99 yeah from game maybe ill get prologue from gameplay 4 £17.99

this is only one of many delays to come. remember last year?

Why am I not surprised. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3 fall releases such as Resistance 2, Killzone 2, and Final Fantasy XIII get delayed until 2009. I know one thing for sure, none of those games better get delayed because the PS3 needs those games this year.

Video game delays will only do more damage to the PS3 and the PS3 has yet to take off with a hyped video game title. At E3 2008, the developers for Final Fantasy XIII, Killzone 2, and Resistance 2 better have some Official release dates in 2008 because if they don't, I think that I'm going to go crazy.

To me, the only  PS3 exclusive game that will be guaranteed to come out in 2008 for sure is MGS4 and possibly Haze, but the rest of the really hyped PS3 exclusives are near late 2008 and I wouldn't be surprised if they got pushed to 2009.

I do remember that Gran Turismo 4 was delayed multiple times for the PS2, so this is probably just one of the many delays to come. But I guess Europe can look on the bright side because they are getting  GT5 Prolouge, and Prolouge will be a pretty solid racing game.

Maybe if Polyphony Digital would have just scrapped a Prolouge version of GT5 and just worked on the Full Game, maybe it wouldn't have been delayed. I hope that GT5 doesn't get delayed until 2009 for the U.S.

not surprised... its not just with big games too... where is pain and hvb??? guess i'll just have to enjoy playin pixeljunk monsters n everyday shooter for a lot longer b4 anythin decent arrives in the uk.....

Wonder if that means GT5 will be coming to NA/JAP in 08?

Question is will be release in JP/NA in 2008? IF not then whole wide world wont have GT5 till 2009. I wouldn't jump on the gun based on a retail source

Has nobody here seen a list of PS3 exclusive games from Sony ALONE? It more than matches the diversity, quality and quantity of first party + third party exclusives on other platforms.. then there ARE actually some great third party exclusives too. http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=31654 Pull your heads out of this depressed state and start getting excited about the dozens of games THAT ARE COMING and realise that more will be announced at Gamer's Day, E3, The Leipzig Games Convention, TGS, PLAYSTATION PREMIERE 2008 (if there is one this year) and so on. All this whining from fans.. you're making ME WHINE and I'm usually so tolerant for feedback comment crap.

psn id: gingo... i will be content with prologue until gran turismo comes out, asl ong as they make it the best racing game ever created i might not have to blow up polyphony digital  :))

Its a shame that the UK isn't given the same release as the USA - on the same release date.  It is the rest of Europe that requires language translation work.  Anyway, GT5 delays are not a big deal.  This will give me more time to play, enjoy and make the most of GT5P.

@dv31l - UGH but im SICK of all these shooters! oh yeah just killzone haze resistance 2 there all in the same categry, SHOOTERS!!, i have no intention wat-so-ever to get a 360 but lately ive felt like everything is just collapsing, its like we have NOTHING coming out this year, thats how it feels for me.........im.......im really depressed cuz of it :(...................................

To be honest, this is completely unacceptable, in my opinion. Just read a comment saying that the PS3 is Universal, can anyone confirm this and confirm that if I were to import a US version, I would still be able to play this on my PS3?

Thanks :)

@ ChrisXL yes it is universal, any games from any country will work on your ps3, all game aren't region locked

Can't we import it from USA?

Importing it is not the point, its the principle same as a comment I have made before the games are not reigon locked they are finished when released in Japan/USA so why are we always months behind "Rock Band, GTP, High Velocity Bowling" just to name a few........ Come on Sony start kicking some butt!!!!!!!!! 

@zellend   on the eu  playstation web site pain is said to be out in feb, so by my reconing it should be this coming thursday with the psn update, as we europeans know it'll proberbly be another "shaft eu thursday" as usual!

It is a BIG company behind GT HD they have been making this game way before the PS3 was even released and we have to wait another year to eighteen months before its release, by then the graphics are not going to look too impresive against the other  games that will be released at the same time as GT HD.

I received this e-mail, and believe that the 2009 quoted may be a typo.

 

The e-mail links to the purchase of GT5P here, and if you read down that page, you will see this:

 

"Gran Turismo 5: Prologue will allow PlayStation 3 owners to whet their appetites for 2008's big hot-rod racer in style – with a cut-price preview that plays in glorious high definition!"

 

Also, while it is true that anyone can import this or any other game, a big part of Prologue is the online racing - and with many games, the servers are region locked. So if you get a US version and your friend gets a UK version, there's always a chance that you may not be able to play together.
