It never was. Unless all you ever did was enter the kiddie races with the best cars of the game.

All they have to do is announce a GT5 bundle in Europe/Japan and the PS3 will trounce the 360 this holiday season.

Thanks, but it looks like I'll be waiting for the final version. I would pay 30 bucks at the absolute highest and even then that's a stretch.

MSRP in Europe is 39,99 (£24.99 in the UK). Play.com is selling it for ~28 (£17.99 in the UK).
So if it's $39.99 in the US, perhaps some store/chain will sell it for $30 or less as well.
Secondly, the download can be installed and played on up to 5 systems.
If you're really, really cheap, buy it from the PlayStation Store with a bunch of friends. Each pays $8.
$8 for 12 tracks, 70 cars and tons of races, both offline and online.

Exactly. There have been plenty of highly acclaimed full-price games that don't offer as much as GT5P does, and GT5P is being released - in Europe, at least - at a budget price, around half the price of a standard new game.
Anyone remember Ferrari F355 challenge on the DC? Ten tracks, one car, 86% on Gamerankings (and a whole load of gushing fans at the time...)

Same thing for ZOE for me, I couldn't have been more disinterested in a futuristic mech fighting game if I tried, I brought it just for the MGS2 demo, and I really loved ZOE afterwards. But I had no issue paying £40 for the MGS2 demo, I really really needed to play it. And I probably put more time into that demo then I have in the full game afterward. And I've played the full game quite a few times.

Freaking Ferrari reliability!! Quali sucked, but the BMWs look to be on pace with the McLaren. Massa drove like a scared little boy who had all the pressure put on him because the real star had a freaking fuel pump blow out on him.
Word to the wise for the Brits on GAF, how the hell do you guys watch ITV, I watched the live feed over the interwebs and good lord, its so slanted towards Lewis! I mean, yes, he's a Brit, but good LORD. Brundell sounds like he wants to make man-love to Lewis then cuddle with Ron Dennis.
Back OT, anyone know if the versions we receive in NA will be identical to the Euro version?
QFT and great justice. IF cost is really an issue, then game-share will cut down on that. Even going in halfway with someone will drop the price to $20US for each person. The complaints about the cost are hollow. I'm playing someone else's JP copy while I wait for the US version to come out. The only reason I haven't dumped more time into it is b/c the menus are unreadable, but otherwise it works perfectly. Hell, it didn't even cost me anything directly. I just shared some of my other PSN games.Goldrusher said:
PEOPLE: It's time to start tapping into the powers of the machines you bought. The PS3 has way more going for it than some of you think. If you have a nice friend, you can have a complete PSN library up and running on your system an hour or two after you bring it home from the store, at no extra cost. I had 11 games when I bought my PS3, thanks to a game-share. And I ended up buying 10 of them on my own anyway b/c I enjoyed them so much. It's a neat demo system of sorts, so long as you spread your game-share partners around the three regions. PEACE.

Europe is mad about racing games. People who do not understand why there is no - for now - GT5P bundles in the US are also wondering if Burnout flopped based on NPD charts.
Burnout and Dirt were lead on ps3 because Europe was assumed to love Sony before ps3 launch.
Racing games are made for euro audiences, WRC games are most of the times not released in the US, F1 racing games are the same.

I wish we didn't love NASCAR so much in the US. It's the worst racing of all time. Rally and F1 are so much more entertaining to watch. While I love my football (american style that is), the Euros have it right by loving soccer and non-Nascar racing.
Anyways, the F1 car definitely peaked my interest in GT5P. I'll definitely have to consider a PS3 once the price drops.

Well what wheel do you have, how much money do you have to spend, do you want a permanent frame or one that can be taken apart and reassembled? Do you want a full on racing seat, do you want the seat permanently mounted?
Best bit of advice is hit the racing sites with forums, you will find people with all kinds of set ups, just ask around and people will set you up with what you need. This is how I did it, but then I made modifications to someones pre-design.
This summer I plan on building a full on tubular permanent steel frame with adjustable seat guide. I want a full cage setup, I plan for speaker mounts behind me with a built in cup holder & maybe an ashtray.
You can take the easy route and get a system either pre-build or easy assembly, but these can cost major dollars. Again hit the racing sites if you want to go this route, they can direct you towards good deals.

iapetus said:With this coming soon, I had to do a bit of Googling to find this - build your own racing frame for $30. It's not pretty, but it's hellishly cheap. Might get the parts for one today so I can be ready when GT5P arrives...
Of course then it's a slippery slope to the purchase of a real racing seat to add to it.
Word of advice as I've been down this road, plan on adding weight. When you have a system that doesn't have the seat tied in and you're using a PVC setup it can be to light weight for many surfaces. On carpet that wheel setup will move around like crazy while driving.
Best & cheapest solution, is to buy smaller PVC piping with with caps. Mind you you don't have to use PVC, but fill it with sand, cap the ends insert into existing PVC frame. Or you can just use heavy steel bars!
Best setup though is to find a way to tie the seat into you're frame, then you're weight eliminates any movement.

Easy solution to that problem, don't pick it up then. There are plenty of us who think this game is worth much more than $40 and even some of us who are going to be buying this game for the second time as we first picked up the JP version.
One more thing though, ITS NOT A DEMO NOR IS IT A BETA!!!
I think Kaz would have been better off calling it something like GT: Prologue, with out the 5 so the "OMG moneiz for Demoz" crowd would stay away...

Because it's not little more than a demo. There already was a demo.
so_awes said:you upset that forza2 didn't get this much attn?
I haven't played Forza Motorsport 2, the first one bored the hell out of me.
I am not a fan of sim-racing games, I would be saying the same thing for demos of other games (and it IS a demo. A really good demo, but still a demo). If it was $20, I would agree it's a good value, I even paid the $10 to get the Nintendo GameCube Preview Disc a few years ago.
