So, um... GT5 Prologue is in stores now...

I doubt I'd get a chance to play before the weekend, but I'll try to pick it up anyways...

I was supposed to pick it up, but I refuse to play such a game without a wheel and pedal combo.
Burnout Paradise is great with the normal controller, but a simulator needs the wheel combo, IMO of course.
Have fun guys... and be sure to write your reviews :)

Is it true there are only 5 tracks?
Old enough to know me limit, yet young enough to exceed it.

nah... just my game shop (Gamerama) at Yonge and Eg. They had stacks of them there yesterday -- which neither the EB upstairs or the Futureshops (anywhere) could say...

Well, that really depends...

I say it's worth buying, because it costs $45 after tax -- which is cheap as far as PS3 games go... and you're talking about a game that probably has more cars than both NFS: Prostreet, Motorstorm, and Burnout.

For me, it's worth the cost for that alone, then you add in online support and a sound track.

So yeah, I think it's worth it.. and if you're going to consider prologue, I highly recommend getting the disk version -- don't download it. At least with a disk, we can sell it used later on to offset the cost of buying the full retail version.
