| Flat tyre for Sony's 'Gran Turismo 5 Prologue' on PlayStation Store | |
| Posted: 28.03.2008 06:45 by Jamie |  Comments: 1 |
 Many gamers and fans of the GT series have been left feeling a little blue as the promised day early release of Prologue over PSN yesterday never materialized. Supposedly it won't appear until Saturday "at the earliest".
The game is available in stores today, and there will hopefully be an official statement from Sony today. This no-show might be related to the recent breach of the PlayStation Store. | |

 We Europeans seem a bit crazy for the racing game which is only a taste of the full Gran Turismo 5 to be released in the future. This Prologue rush has given Sony their first pre-release platinum title for the PS3.
The game will be released and available on Blu-ray disc on March 26, a download via PSN will come online the day after. | |

| GT5 Prologue crosses the finish line on March 27 in Europe on PSN | |

 That's 3 weeks a head of the US release. The day after on March 28 will see the Blu-ray version with both carrying a £24.99 tag, unless you choose the PS3 bundle priced at £299 also available on March 28.
Oddly the downloadable version isn't any cheaper than getting it on disc, but at least the EU version carries more content that its Japanese counterpart. | |

 Initial D fans, rejoice! No longer will you have to go to the local arcades, undoubtedly dying away, to get your fix of the racing game/TV show. Soon it will be hitting the PS3, not only looking better, but packing in all the features you'd expect from a standard console racer. Meaning online play, big solo campaign, etc. | |

| Silence is golden for online Mario Kart Wii, voice and text chat ban | |
| Posted: 28.02.2008 06:24 by Jamie | Comments: 1 |
 Nintendo having promised previously that gamers would get to create their own rooms where they can chat to other racers, have now reversed their decision and instead have installed fixed phrases or taunts to use.
Who'd have thought Mario Kart would be a ticking-time bomb for sass and textual debauchery? | |
