Well, the release is this week in Japan. Who will get this game? I'm prolly going to import it from play-asia or yesasia.com since my brother bought me the Logitech G25 Wheel for christmas (gave it to me this weekend :D) and i'm tired of racing the only track in the Prologue Demo.

Since the relase date for NA isn't out yet (rumored to be 12 or 19 feb 08), anyone else can't wait to drive this awesome game and will get it?

PS: If you want some infos on the Prologue demo or game, i can try to help you out!

Coming to the US PSN on the Feb 19th: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=950182

No, GT5 Prologue will not be free. This is not the GT HD demo. There is a free GT5 Prologue Demo on the Japanese PSN... don't know if it would be gone after the 13th though.

Just placed my order for GT5 Prologue. Wish i have time to learn Japanese by then :DIt won't be that bad since you can't tune your car. I just want to race with my next sterring wheel!

5-10 days shipping, shipping the 13th. I should get it for Christmas! :) and then i'll buy the North America Version when it comes out and i'll wait for the final version of GT5... sometime!

Same here. I was about to wait for the release here in NA but i got the logitech G25 and playing the Prologue demo with it was just TOOO AWESOME i had to get the game ASAP.


Now i have to build a cockpit for the G25 :D

Will this game play on a US PS3?

I actually have 5,000 Japense PSN points waiting for Wed. Got the points off eBay, cost $66 but it's well worth it. I've put ALOT of time into the demo for prologue, so this game will definitely hold me over until GT5 is out.

Yes it will.

I have two games from the Japanese region(Wangan Midnight & Gundam Musou), both run on my US PS3 flawlessly.

do you know when GT5:P releases on the Japanese PSN ? I think it was a different date than the retail version.

BTW...you can buy the points at play-asia.


http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zu-49-en-70-26sh.html 3000 Yen for $39...seems you paid the same price then.

I pre ordered it a while back from Play-Asia.com & paid for express delivery!
I'll pick up the US version when it comes out too.

I'm just wondering if we will be able to log on to the servers in Japan & if so how bad the lag will be.

I may have to pick this up. MY Fiancee is getting me a PS3 for xmas. I am in Japan until the 22nd is there anything else I should get while I am here?

I think I will go grab the new Dual shock 3 controller since I need a second controller anyway. Anything else I won't be able to get in the states?
