Mebbe...

But, as of right now, the ETA is still 2008...so, next year should be a good year for PS3 owners.

Based upon the graphics of this game, I think the PS3 might be under the tree next year ... when I buy a 1080p HDTV. Guess they would go hand in hand ... and then the process of converting the digital movie library to blu-ray would begin ... (I would hesitantly use the PS3 as a blu-ray player ... something I usually never do ... ie use a game machine to watch movies)

In the interim, I'll just sit back wait for which medium will prevail.

the PS3 is one of the best Blu-Ray player on the market, only downside is it is a little loud

yes, all games are region free

You'd think that all the Blu-Ray players from Sony would be the best considering it's their format.

Same here, except I haven't bought it yet. Hoping for a special Gran Turismo edition of PS3 like the PS2 had.

I have searched countless department stores' video game sections (i.e. Carrefour, Sogo, Shin Gong Mitsukoshi) in Taipei and Kaohsiung and it is sold out everywhere...!


Whoever says the PS3 doesn't sell is a nimrod. Otherwise, Sony only released one copy per store.





Must. Get. GT5. Prologue.

That list of cars are for the "Prologue". A short sample of what the final game will be like.

I don't think anybody really knows how many cars will be in the game.
