Gran Turismo 5 Prologue dated and priced

PS3 News | For the US, at least.

After what seemed like an eternity of delays, Sony has finally confirmed via its PlayStation.Blog an April 17 release date for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

Priced at a reasonable sounding US $39.99, and coming in both brick-and-mortar Blu-ray or PlayStation Store downloadable flavours, the eagerly awaited PlayStation 3 instalment in the long-running motor racing franchise will finally be able to fly the chequered flag in wallets everywhere. That is, at least for North Americans PS3 owners, as Sony's PlayStation.Blog makes no mention of release and pricing details for other regions of the world.

Fret not yet, PAL PS3 motor heads. Even though an Australian or European release date hasn't been specifically announced, Sony's last major PSN release, Warhawk, hit the Australian Playstation Store the same week as its US counterpart. It wouldn't be completely out of the question to see history repeat itself with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

Until that information is confirmed, why not stew your patience over with the new Gran Turismo 5 Prologue trailer, viewable at the previously mentioned PlayStation.Blog post?

Thanks to forum member mipac for the tip.

It should be noted that the download is quite a few gigabytes. Aussie internet users beware.

Their release dates are not very reliable (see Burnout paradise, it says Jan 24 - it's coming out in Feb)).

^ Well anyway, there have been many incorrect dates on au.playstation, like Everyday Shooter says it was released here last year ? Just saying they don't often keep it updated ..
