Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - Preorder

When Gran Turismo 5 launches sometime in the future, it will mark a momentous occasion to be inscribed in the annals of video gaming. Probably in 18-pt Verdana boldface type. Anticipation for GT5 runs high amongst the racing literati and demand for the game can be described as pent-up. However, no one knows when it'll be released (including Sony) and the natives are getting restless.

To sate some of that pent-up demand, Sony has officially started preorders for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue which ships on December 13, 2007 in Japan. GT5P will give gamers a preview and a taste of Gran Turismo 5 and some of what it has to offer. Bite-sized morsels, if you will, of a buffet that can't be savored in its entirety yet. Two versions of GT5P are on tap: A downloadable version from the Playstation Online Store priced at JPY4500 and a retail store edition that's priced at JPY4980. Since NCS can't wrangle any of the vig from the downloadable version, we'll be supplying the retail store edition on 12/13 for US$45.90.
