Sony issues statement on GT5 Prologue PSN delay

Posted on March 28th, 2008 at 08:24 EDT

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has revealed that the PlayStation Network release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue was delayed in the region as a result of last minute “technical difficulties.”

Speaking in an official statement release this morning, the company said: Unfortunately due to some last minute technical difficulties, we were unable to publish the new content to the PS Store yesterday. We are working to resolve these issues and will let you know as soon as new content is posted".

The highly anticipated racing sim was originally scheduled to appear on the European PlayStation Store yesterday. Despite this, gamers can still pick up a copy of the game on Blu-ray, which hits shops today.

Stay tuned for more information as it breaks.

@encryptioncsta

Oh my god dork, calm down.  Just get the Blu-ray.  Problem solved. Jesus.  You have issues.  You guys act and talk like there's NOTHING else to do on this planet but play video games.   Please tell me that's not true for you.

Can someone answer this? Is Prologue a slimmed down version of the full thing due out later or is this the full blown game?

Update: Thanks for the info. But it does seem like a bit of a scam to be charging for a demo. Don't get me wrong, I love Sony and the GT series, but why are they nickle and diming us? I am getting a little frustraded with the developers and their hesitation or possibly their lack of tallent to make something for the PS3 and stick to a release date. *cough* HAZE *cough*

It's a "thick" demo, dude.  It's the "prologue".  Just the beginning.

I cant be **rsed full stop.

 

I'm not bothering to spend any money on Prologue now. Seriously these guys need to get their act together with Gran Turismo and quite a few other major titles they are struggling with. Fu*ck Prologue its a lousy rip off demo, we needed the full game 6 months ago, not a year from now.

@encryptioncsta

hmmmmmmmmm, mr over reaction. calm down. even if it was available last night you'd still be waiting for the download as the servers would have been hammered. just go buy the blu-ray....

I also remember you telling Crapcom to do the same thing ? yawn try something newer m8 :)

Have you ever posted a positive comment in your life ? just looking at your old comments it dont seem so 
@chubbacca

And your previous comments are all negative too

Rushed into town on lunch break. Got GT5 in GAME, flew home to try it out quickly and it starts doing updates. Left it running as its already taken 45 mins! Oh well at least I have it.

Prologue is just a lame excuse to try and hold fans over until GT5 comes out.  They should have just put everyone into GT5 and got it out in 2008.  Sucks for all of you racing sim fans.  This is one game I could care less if it ever came out.

psn id: gingo....u cant blame sony for a technical problem but at least the blu ray version is not delayed so alls good

I suspect it's a large download, with equally as large bandwidth required for all the downloads expected, hence "technical difficulties". :/

i share my account with my brother and he lives in another city. so it makes sense to get the download version so we can both have it while only paying for it once. its a shame they couldn't get it out on time but as long as it's out soon i'm not too fussed

@Odium_Generis_Humani - Thank you man! That's exactly what I think, people get so depressed and angry about small stuff like this. Now if it would have been delayed a couple months or something, then fine, but man it's just a couple day/s and it's just a GAME! I think a lot of us get so into games that we start forgetting they are just that. They aren't meant to be our life, just add to it.

Whoever you Gran Turismo hating bastards are calm yourselves down. Prolouge is only coming out now becasue

1) Otherwise you would have to wait till like 2010 to paly GT5.

2) GT has never been online before and they want to get it right. You try making a game that good and the listen to idiots like you who moan about it.

 

Same with Haze, just shut up and stop complaining. Get some fricking patience

@encryptioncsta: you'll just have to wait longer when it red rings, like everyone said, just buy the Blu-Ray copy.

I can't believe people are whining about having to buy this GT5 demo.  I think you should all just be glad that we get the free demos that we get now.  Last time I checked, businesses weren't obligated to give us any free stuff, I guess some people are just never satisfied.

STFU you Gawd damn piss ants! FRack. Bunch of whiney bastard and sh f|_|cks.

If you can't wait to get GT5P that bad, then just go buy the f'n blu-ray! Else, shut your ugly mug with the "OMG IM GETTING A 360", "EFF YEW SONY", "HAZE OMG! DELAYS!" and just get a f|_|CKING LIFE.

Lastly, the amount of content in GT5P is enought to warrent a small charge anyday. Heck, some games dont even have the amount of vehicals and maps that GT5P has and they charge full price.

What I don't understand is that its clearly ready to be put on blueray but its not ready for the psn store? So does that mean the game on blueray is faulty also?

The DelayStation....can anything be on time. If I never met deadlines or was always late I would be fired from my job. But Sony gets a free pass all the time....call me when HOME or XMB update is released. Otherwise my $400.00 dollar telephone will be collecting dust...

lmho @ all you calling prologue just thin demo and such wow go get ridge racer 7, it's probably 5 squids now. 16 players online in a GT game! matter of fact while you're at it, buy it for the 10 360s you will own.
