Oh well, I'm sure some of the exhibitors will have some demo machines running GT5 Prologue
Also, can we change the PS3 pic on the news article? Its been out long enough to have the proper pic on display.
it better have a butt-load of cars. is it just me or has every GT since 2 had less cars? they also screwed up the weight transfer a bit in 4. i think the 3 physics are more realistic.
Also at least despite having to wait longer for the english release of Prologue, we get (a tiny bit) more for our money then the Japanese version. 60 Cars (Japan had 37) and on the Blu-Ray version they are including a behind-the-scenes HD feature (much like GT4P) and there is a "Quick-tune" option as well, but that could be in the Japanese version too not sure? it was mentioned the extra cars maybe released as a download for the Japanese version, so hopefully people with that version won't miss out
