GT5 Prologue download weighs 1.9GB

To download or to get the Blu-ray version: that is the question.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue's release is coming rather soon for both our American and European readers. However, which version should one pick up? For those seeking instant gratification off the hard drive, perhaps the download is the way to go. But take note: the download weighs a hefty 1.9GB.

Some may be wondering: how come the game is so small when a Blu-ray disc can hold so much more? By getting rid of all the videos. Eurogamer explains: "Prologue reduces its footprint is by leaving cinematics on the server until you choose to download them from GT TV. You can choose to download the opening movie at any time, and when you finish Event series you're told that you can now download the end movie from the in-game high-definition TV download page."

Personally, this blogger is much more interested in picking up the retail copy. Who wants to wait to download over and over again?

I think i'll just get Blu Ray and have all the videos intact/bonus making of.

Plus I doubt the PSN version is going to be less than what amazon are selling Blu Ray for (?18).

Does the download version get tied to your PSN user name like WarHawk does?

I'd expect it to, seeing as there is online play!

I don't see why it's so much of an issue. Sure, I'd much rather have a disc (I refuse to rent or buy movies and TV shows online unless they're free and unrestricted, or a unified system similar to Steam is started), but if it was download-only I wouldn't be that bothered. I usually go through 5-10GB per day (downloads and web browsing and so on) on my PC, so what? :p

I pre-ordered the disc because it was actually cheaper then the 39,99 euro they will charge here on PSN - and I usually would go for the PSN version, because I am lazy and don't want to swap discs

Thats a nice size, I will still be getting the disc based version though.

Source pls, also if it's true than you are saying 44.6 GB is either video and extra contents (extra maps maybe). :/

He was joking you know, lol.

Amazon doing bundle for ?290 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-C...3773&sr=8-2

So are ShopTo - http://www.shopto.net/page.php?page=dettag...undle&p=PS3 - And they give free next day delivery!

But the best thing to do IMO is buy separately,

PS3 40GB - ?260 - http://www.shopto.net/page.php?page=dettag...040GB&p=PS3

Prologue - ?20 next day delivery - http://www.shopto.net/page.php?page=dettag...logue&p=PS3

Prologue - ?18 free delivery, but takes longer - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gran-Turismo-5-Pro...3773&sr=8-1
