GT5 Prologue price rumors "incorrect"

Recent pricing rumours of the Blu-ray version of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue have been deemed wrong by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE). The internet had been buzzing with talk of a 45 Euro price, but a Sony spokesperson has stated that the cost of both the PlayStation Network and Blu-ray versions has not officially been decided upon and that reports were "categorically incorrect". He did confirm, however, that they would not be free.

The rumors were sparked by a supposed announcement in a press release by Sony Computer Entertainment Benelux, which covers Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

Judging by the way Sony has responded, it could be that the information leaked out before it was supposed to and there is a chance the 45 Euro mark will be the final price. We'll keep you up to date.

    Ok, im may be a little out of touch with this subject, but I take it Prologue is NOT the full version of the game, just a glorified demo, am I correct?

    F.Y.I.

    45 Euros (European) = 62 USD (American)

    it's more than likely that the blu-ray version will come with added features/extras to justify the price like warhawk does.  The PSN version will probably be cheaper...so maybe £20 online and £30 - £40 on Blu-Ray...

    Guess I won't be playing this game; I'm not paying for a "demo" of GT5.

    ^

    You consider 40 cars, 5 tracks, and online, as well as other customizations, a demo? That's kinda stupid

    Maybe it was leaked delibrately so they could see the reaction to the price and when they see that its positive, they confirm the price and when they see a negative reaction as that what they did get, they squash the rumour.

    45 bucks would be nice..... games in Canada are usually 69....... when they first come out you can get a deal.... maybe 10 bucks off so 59..... although we got warhark for 39 that was a sweet deal with the headset.... but you gan barley get a used game for that price.
