BOHICA: GT5 Prologue pricing not announced (No need for lube)

neorej · (09-11-2007, 02:54 PM)

dunno if this was already known or not but, I just got home from a Sony pressevent, and they announced that GT5 Prologue will be around 45 euro on BluRay, no PSN-pricing was announced though, only that it'll probably be cheaper. It will have loads of cars, 5 tracks and online play.

Way too expensive for a demo.

Mojovonio · (09-11-2007, 02:59 PM)

Uhhhhmmmm, why doesn't that say FREE.

Doc Evils · (09-11-2007, 02:59 PM)

Wouldn't be surprised if this sells a million.

aztrex · (09-11-2007, 02:59 PM)

I'm sure those who want one will get a second job or work overtime to cover the cost of buying this game.

Wait though U.K pricing might be better.

I wouldn't call it a demo, more like a 1/2 game or something.

Why would it? Everyone knew it was going to cost.

dk_ · (09-11-2007, 03:00 PM)

Waaay to expensive. Think again, Sony!

TerryLee81 · (09-11-2007, 03:00 PM)

I know it's more than a Demo, but still, 45€ is a lot and in the end we are paying twice for the same.

But I will buy it, of course :(

Kyoufu · (09-11-2007, 03:01 PM)

Prologue contains (much) more content than Motorstorm ever did (hell, Motorstorm wasn't even online in Japan for 6 months) and its cheaper so I'm not complaining at all.

Borys · (09-11-2007, 03:02 PM)

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to expensive. Millions will buy it though.

I never thought of it like that.

Sounds good to me though, that baby is mine come October. Woo!

YourMom · (09-11-2007, 03:03 PM)

first day buy

OMFG

cant wait

RubberJohnny · (09-11-2007, 03:03 PM)

Way too much. I learned my lesson with the GT4 version, I'll wait for the main game.

bud · (09-11-2007, 03:03 PM)

if you're going to buy this, cool, but people who'll buy this and gt5 a year later are so... ugh.

Elios83 · (09-11-2007, 03:04 PM)

PSN version is the way to go with this game (it will cost 39€ at max), GT5 will be a Blu Ray buy

GT5 won't be here untill 2009.

Vic · (09-11-2007, 03:04 PM)

I thought this shit was free....?

Its kinda like the people who buy every iteration of Pokemon right? People are consumers and if the demand is there then its just good business to supply it.

You're free to pay money to play it.

sionyboy · (09-11-2007, 03:06 PM)

I can foresee two sorts of posts making up his thread

a) Too expensive
b) But I read it was going to be free

Bad Gamespot.... sticking to your story that it was going to be a free download. You should have realised something was up when no other journalist ran with the story. Clearly they were the ones listening at the conference, and you got confused and heard "Gran....Turismo....HD....Free Download....GT5:P...."

They said July 2008 actually.

Mojovonio · (09-11-2007, 03:07 PM)

Why isn't this free?

Metalmurphy · (09-11-2007, 03:07 PM)

Meh they left out the pricing that really matters.

What a stupid fucking post.

Once again, if £30 is too expensive, go fly a kite or something.

What? some of us loving racing games and are mega GT fans.

Its time to dust of my racing wheel!

epmode · (09-11-2007, 03:08 PM)

I really don't understand the point of these releases. Aside from making tons of money, of course. But it would be pretty amazing if other companies started releasing a third of their game a year in advance for $60

Prologues have never been free.

I'd imagine making all those cars looking that good, with online, and all the customizable options take alot of manpower and money to make, especially since its seperate from the main game. Thats probably why. I'm just spitballing though.

herod · (09-11-2007, 03:09 PM)

I expect "prologue" to be written in the smallest most unintelligible font on the boxed edition.

methane47 · (09-11-2007, 03:09 PM)

WAYYYYY TOO EXPENSIVE..

what the hell were you thinking Sony?

you can count me out of this one..

hey dickhead, where did i say it was too expensive?

Segata Sanshiro · (09-11-2007, 03:10 PM)

It's pricey. On the one hand, you can say what Kyoufu said. It likely will have more content than a lot of retail games. That much is definitely true. On the other hand, it's a piece of a game that is definitely coming down the road a bit, so it's somewhat redundant. It's important to remember PSN pricing could be a good bit cheaper, too.

It'll sell a ton regardless.

nofi · (09-11-2007, 03:10 PM)

You didn't, and I didn't say you did.

Fuck it, nevermind.

It was your comment that insinuated that people that buy both Prologue and GT 5 are stupid.

Because it has content way more than the demo.

quetz67 · 03:17 PM

Will not buy at that price unless I get some rebate on the final game

bud · 03:17 PM

you're basically paying for a demo if you're buying the full game a year later.

quetz :bow

Scotch · (09-11-2007, 03:13 PM)

I was under the impression this was gonna be free. Read it on some tech site which I'll be sure never to trust again.

Anyway, PSN version seems to be the way to go.

Kyoufu · (09-11-2007, 03:14 PM)

Actually, you do get some form of rebate. Your save transfers to the final game. Does that count?

tanod · (09-11-2007, 03:14 PM)

Where is the North American release date? >:(

I'd totally pick this up. I don't think I would get the full GT5 though. $40 or bust.
