Europe, a prospering game market for publishers, generally gets the shaft when it comes to release dates, bested only by Australia. It isn’t rare to see a title launch in Europe one, two, or even as long as six months after its North American release. That practice seems to be decreasing a little during this generation cycle, but when we heard about this latest date, we did a double take.
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be surfacing in Europe come late March, while America’s current release date is still a tentative ‘mid-April.’ We still don’t know a price for Europe however, though we know it will retail in the US on Blu-ray and via PSN for $39.99. The Blu-ray will include bonus content not seen in the PSN download.
We’ll solidify these hazy dates for you as soon as we can.
