Sony announce Facebook for PS3 the day before Xbox 360 gets it

November 17, 2009

Sony announce Facebook for PS3 the day before Xbox 360 gets it Microsoft announced last week that a new dashboard update will be hitting the Xbox 360 with Facebook integration. The day before this update hits, Sony announced that the PS3 will also be getting Facebook integration. It seems like the social battle of attrition has started.

Microsoft will be dropping the latest dashboard update tomorrow that will integrate Facebook into the NXE. Yes, I know it’s all very exciting. To combat Microsoft’s dashboard update, Sony is revealing that the PS3 will be also getting Facebook integration with firmware update 3.10. Again, it’s all very exciting stuff.

On top of the Facebook integration, firmware 3.10 makes some minor tweaks to how photos are shown and also allows you to change your PSN ID color. Your friends will also be able to see your PSN ID color as well. As I mentioned above, it’s all very exciting stuff, and pretty soon everyone will be able to see what games you are playing on your Facebook.

    Why pay for Xbox Live when you can have everything and more free on the PLAYSTATION Network %100 free of charge.

  2. Roca.:

    Sony is integrating Facebook as a gaming feature, which is pretty good (as the PS3 is a gaming system) and its better than having the same old Facebook page you see on your computer.

    Nice way to upped the competition.

    BTW AC2 comes out tomorrow. but it looks to be the same shit as the previous one from all the videos I’ve seem

  3. Ivan_PSP:

    Nice i like the new way to view photos also i will now be getting Facebook no doubt this new update looks good. Also i still hate the box on your name but i like how we now allow to add colors.

    Microsoft why do you keep stealing your customer’s money by forcing only gold members to use your features like Facebook and Twitter plus to play online or to chat or to send messages via PC…

    Sony is giving gamers what we want free sweet Thanks Mike for this awesome news.

  4. Roca.:

    Mike,

    you didnt say exactly what Facebook is going to bring to the PS3. the article was pretty terse and short on info.

    just a healthy feedback ;)

  5. harry sachz:

    Funny. I could have sworn you said you’re not into Facebook. Oh wait, you did!

    http://gamer.blorge.com/2009/11/04/cafe-world-strategy-coins-and-points/

  6. Roca.:

    Im not into it, I barely use Facebook. But i wont mind having my gaming updates popping up automatically :)

    as long as it incorporate my PS3 gaming experience, im all for it. if its just “plain Facebook”….then not so much.

    you guys are so concerned about prove ppl wrong that is not even funny anymore. I never said im into Facebook, I just like the idea of having PS3 updates popping up automatically. it doesn’t mean I will be all into Facebook.

    thanks for the link again. it only showed how much you care

  7. Roca.:

    as you can see I stated that the PS3 Facebook feature “its better than having the same old Facebook page you see on your computer.” which means that I wasnt into the “whole” facebook community space.

  8. harry sachz:

    lol whatever you reckon, hypocrite.

  9. Roca.:

    nice exit btw

  10. harry sachz:

    exit?

  11. Roca.:

    you know, the getaway line you used there ;)

    but anyways time for me to hit the bed, gotta go to work tomorrow. I’ll catch up tomorrow. Good night

  12. harry sachz:

    I wasn’t getting away. Although the whole deja vu of proving you saying one thing and doing another is getting repetitive.

    Sweet dreams. Same time tomorrow?

  13. Roca.:

    explain me how I say one thing and do another? I said im not into facebook, period. the only dejavu that is happening is you twisting my comments to make them look your way.

    I just commented on the “facebook” article Harry, nothing wrong with that. I havent been on facebook in months dude. i was never into it. idk why you are so concern about my facebook status. but if you are really interested let me know so I can show u my facebook page ;)

  14. harry sachz:

    hahaha. And there is my point. You say you have no interest in Facebook, however you feel the need to comment on it, so you obviously must have some interest in it.

    Now go to bed, State Street needs their star employee well rested.

  15. JofaMang:

    Really harry, Roca has a point. Though he would probably do best to just avoid your bait, but all of us have interest in everything when it comes to this site, even if otherwise we wouldn’t give a shit.

    I agree with Roca, I have a FB account, check it once every2-4 months at most and don’t really care about it in general, but would probably make some decent use of updates through it, since I get all my FB notifications through my main email account.

  16. harry sachz:

    Jofa,

    Ok, i’ll concede that. But what frustrates me about him is that he obviously loves his games, but he can’t go a day without leaving some backhanded comments about anything that’s not PS3. If he took his fanboy/troll hat off he would more than likely be fun to discuss games with.

  17. JofaMang:

    It might be because you are so irresistable. asl?

  18. harry sachz:

    asl? anal sex later? sure, why not?

  19. JofaMang:

    Score, you bring the lube, I’ll bring the cabana girls.

  20. Ivan_PSP:

    This one more reason why PS3 is the console to own. Xbox 360 is for well for people that don’t know the true behind what they buying a empty problematic miserably box.

  21. CAD:

    Roca

    Oh come on dude don’t be a hyprocrite. You were fully dissing this thing and now it’s OK. LOL Fanboys! (shakes head in disgust)

  22. CAD:

    So you all know what I have to say on the matter. I hope your Bullshit, Copycat, Half Ass, smell like ass, Becoming an Xbox with every update, No innovation, Big shiny/matte piece of turd, Wolf in PS3 cloathing console dies. Dame can’t they get their own unique services. Sony is the lamest compay I have ever known. I’m glad their in last place and I hope Microsoft destroys them.

  23. Ghost:

    FaceBook big whoopty doo lol.. But I guess there is quite alot of folks who are into it and twitter. Hell it’s the tweens newest craze and 40 year olds get to act like there 17 again and be hip/cool and caught up with the times. But of course they will say “I only have it to keep up with long distance friends and family” yeah right grandma. I know alot of people who use it daily but it just doesn’t do it for me, and letting people know every time I have to take a shit has no appeal sorry Sony. Even tho I understand why Sony is doing it, and hey who can complain about more free features that the “other console” has to pay for hehehe? But if Sony is really listening to users demands I think there were other top priorities that were higher up on the list than facebook that gamers wanted?

  24. ToshithegreaT:

    Ahhh it feels good to be true, he he

    I predicted ps3 will be gettting facebook too..
    I predict ps3 will be last fm, twitter, user rating and maybe cross game chat in the next one after this :)
    j/k

  25. JofaMang:

    Wow CAD, why don’t you tell us how you really feel.

  26. Ivan_PSP:

    ToshithegreaT:
    Last.FM i doubt is coming to PSP but i know that SensMe is coming check it out is awesome. Twitter is already in UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves and you can use it PS3 via Web Browser. Cross Game is already in the works. Sony is just doing things a bit better and well different. It will be soon don’t doubt that.

  27. Kevo/Sir_Chubs_Alot08:

    cad, having all of this for free is innovative right?? i mean you don’t see that often…burn lmao

  28. phranctoast:

    Sounds to me like the 360 is the me too console in this instance. Facebook has been available to ps3 users through the browser.

    I really couldn’t give two shits about this though. I don’t use it. I will recognize though that a lot of people do and this means a great deal to them.

  29. Ivan_PSP:

    phranctoast:
    I just like Facebook now because what you can share from the PS3 other then that is useless to me.

  30. kev:

    with sony, believe it only when you get it.

    sony has a looooooong history of lies about their consoles and capabilities.

  31. Roca.:

    lets just skip Kev’s post and keep things going smooth

  32. Ivan_PSP:

    kev:
    You lost it already is coming in firmware 3.10 official sour grapes LMFAO i like using Facebook on my PS3 web browser but on my PS3 XMB with game notification that’s just fucking awesome can’t to brag on Facebook. Also i can’t wait to see what developers have ready for Facebook on PS3 remember what they said they left developers something to do too.

    Sony is killing Microsoft.

  33. phranctoast:

    Ivan…really?

    you do know facebook is a MS product right?

    Which makes perfect sense as MS rarely has an original idea.. cough cough Myspace.

  34. Roca.:

    is facebook really a MS product? thats news to me, I thought they had their lil shitty “live personal space” or something like that

  35. phranctoast:

    I thought I read it was. Maybe I’m getting it confused with something else.

  36. JofaMang:

    Yeah, the NSA owns facebook… kind sounds like a canadian saying MS, eh.

  37. phranctoast:

    I thought MS bought Facebook a couple of years ago. Maybe it was a share of the company.

    “kind sounds like a canadian saying MS, eh.”

    lol

  38. Ivan_PSP:

    Facebook is a global social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.

    In September 2007, Microsoft approached Facebook, proposing an investment in return for a 5% stake in the company, offering an estimated $300–500 million. That month, other companies, including Google, expressed interest in buying a portion of Facebook.

    On October 24, 2007 Microsoft announced that it had purchased a 1.6% share of Facebook for $240 million, giving Facebook a total implied value of around $15 billion.[47] However, Microsoft bought preferred stock that carried special rights, such as “liquidation preferences” that meant Microsoft would get paid before common stockholders if the company is sold. Microsoft’s purchase also included rights to place international ads on Facebook.

  39. phranctoast:

    thank you Ivan…. I mean wiki.

  40. Ghost:

    @Phran
    You are right in a way, M$ is heavily invested into facebook. Also facebook sales it members info to certain comps that all trace back or have heavy ties to M$. I guess it’s the new trend there are some big names comps that do this to.

  41. JofaMang:

    They basically took the business model of the Russian Spam princes, and got us to sign on voluntarily.

  42. Roca.:

    *MS must be scratching their heads*

    their facebook update hasnt even gone live yet and Sony already announced a better way to unite facebook and gaming together

  43. JofaMang:

    MS shares do not equal a veto on the board of directors. They have a small amount of shares that would hold very little sway in decision making, considering that the company is still majority owned privately.

  44. Ivan_PSP:

    phranctoast:
    Do research so next time i won’t need to too. Yes is from Wikipedia everyone knows that is common sense. I just added some stuff so people can shut up. Microsoft can make money from Facebook with ads which good them i guess.

    I’m getting Facebook just for games now if anyone here with a PS3 has Facebook mainly for games let me know so i can add you when i make my account.

    And when is this update suppose to live on the PSN servers?.

  45. kev:

    IVAN – “everyone knows that is common sense”

    watching you talk about common sense is like watching Hitler talk about congeniality….

    the two just don’t go together…

  46. kev:

    roca – “their facebook update hasnt even gone live yet and Sony already announced a better way to unite facebook and gaming together”

    want to count how many announcement from sony that never came to pass?

    c’mon..it’ll be fun to remind everyone of the lies that come from sony and their fanboys….

  47. phranctoast:

    “watching you talk about common sense is like watching Hitler talk about congeniality…”

    lol

  48. JofaMang:

    It’s official, kev is a loser in every way possible.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law

    What a lovable little douche!

  49. kev:

    jofa – the only loser is the fanboy who has to use wiki to prove a point.

    you sony fanboys have been caught editing wiki in the past with bad info.

    just wait and hype it when it’s launched.

    you may be too young to remember this, but sony hyped they partnership with AOL last gen as an “xbox live killer”… they hyped it, sold a ton of adapters…then failed to deliver. it’s sony..it’s what they do.

    i just find it funny that MS is making so much money from sony as part owner of Facebook and Immersion. At this rate, MS can let sony make the money for them….lmao….

  50. Saber_HAHAha:

    I never had and never will have a Facebook. Doesn’t interest me to the least.

  51. phranctoast:

    @Saber.

    I still refuse to get it. It’s funny that I will see emails from my parents trying to get me to join.

  52. Ivan_PSP:

    Facebook is now work getting just for this.

    Happy Birthday PlayStation 3.

  53. Saber_HAHAha:

    @phranc

    Lol man my parents are even worse with it. My mother made an account once with the help of a friend (she can hardly use a computer), but she forgot her password after a day. But Facebook is one of those things that I’m not into. Just like texting, I only text if I have to for some reason.

  54. Roca.:

    my gf’s cousin can txt without even looking at her cell…

    and she doesnt even have a QWERTY phone either

  55. JofaMang:

    I have a qwerty phone, (samsung T456) and i still have to look. My thumb callouses get in the way of easy quick typing, lol. I use text for social stuff, as it is how my friends all co-ordinate their shit. Otherwise it just sits. Unlimited text though, so I almost feel compelled to send random messages to random people, or obscenities to my entire contact list, ya know, cause I’m cool like that.

  56. Roca.:

    LOL @ jofa.

  57. Ghost:

    UMBASSA

  58. Ghost:

    Roca- “BTW AC2 comes out tomorrow. but it looks to be the same shit as the previous one from all the videos I’ve seem”

    Man I hope not I was kinda looking forward to this game.

  59. Ivan_PSP:

    All sequels look the same just different story and extra changes but you need the game to see them. I’m buying God of War Collection to get the trophies.

  60. Roca.:

    me too..but im not picking it up on day one like I did with the first one…I will wait untill I see the average score of at least 30 reviews. but so far it looks like its going to play and feel just like the first one.

    “UMBASSA”

    lol Sage Freke be saying that shit..what does it mean?

  61. Roca.:

    oops……i mean “Saint Urbain”

  62. JofaMang:

    Umbassa is another name for their God. Like Allah, or Jehovah, or HeyZeuzCreased

  63. phranctoast:

    Everything I read about Assassins Creed 2 shows they really learned from the first one and made this one that much better. Ill be asking for it as a gift.

  64. Ghost:

    Listen to the way SU female follower says it…funny stuff. Jofa says its a guarantee way to get laid if you whisper it in a woman’s ear? It means female orgasm in magik talk lol…think I am joking they go all wet and sticky at the knees just hearing it.

  65. Ghost:

    damn it Jofa you posted before me…

  66. Ivan_PSP:

    Still not in my gaming standards I’ll pass instead I’m buying God of War Collection this month not the 19th.

    Why buy multiplaform games most of them fucking suck. I only buy multiplaform for series like FF and GTA.

    I want Free Realms currently playing it on my VAIO is awesome.

  67. harry sachz:

    I created a Facebook account last night just to see how it looks on the 360. It’s not bad. Browsing other people’s photos etc was rather seamless. I’m not going to be updating it or anything though, I am too busy to do shit like that.

    The Twitter functionality was seamless too!

    The 1080p streaming looks fantastic! I streamed a preview of the new ‘Avatar’ movie and it looked great! The only downside to this is that 4 minute clip took 280mb! I was having a look at the download size of HD movies and they range from 6gb to 11gb. This is a big issue in Australia, seeing that we are all capped (mine is 25gb), we won’t want to be wasting our download limits on this. There is one company, iinet, who have unmetered Xbox 360 traffic, but they have added a clause to this deal saying that it does not include movie traffic.

    So basically, we can’t use this great feature, or an ISP has to come to the party.

    I am somewhat surprised that these new features have not been covered on Blorge….

  68. SW:

    Fuckin ell, dingos, spiders, snakes, veggiemite, neighours, home & away, austrlians, and now heavily metered bandwidth.

    Australia does not seem like fun ;)

    I see the same complaints on the CoD MW 2 forums about bandwidth harry from alot of Aussy folk.

    Sucks for you lot :(

  69. harry sachz:

    @ SW,

    You forgot about the gimped version of L4D2 also.

    The govt is currently in the middle of rolling out some super ultra special happy high speed internet to 98% of the country. However their plans are going to be metered too. I don’t see the point in creating this cutting edge network if you’re going to limit usage.

  70. Ivan_PSP:

    Can’t wait to see firmware 3.10 on my PS3.

  71. twilight:

    Censorship and bandwidth limits suck.

  72. harry sachz:

    “Censorship and bandwidth limits suck.”

    Yes. Yes they do.

  73. Barnabe Jones:

    I have a facebook which I don’t use very often. I don’t see the need to constantly broadcast what I’m up to.

    Most of the updates people post are garbage anyway, like: stuck in traffic, at work, etc. And now, “I got the best weapon by blade stone trophy”.

    I don’t think “normal” people would care. PSN people can see my trophies, and that’s all I really care about.

  74. Ivan_PSP:

    Barnabe Jones:
    Good 4 u i guess but other people care showing off what they got.

  75. Roca.:

    BJ,

    I got ur msg yesterday, I was able to get on at around 11:30pm. I will be there after 5 today.

  76. Roca.:

    its just funny that MS’s facebook feature is more than likely to keep you away from gaming, while Sony’s facebook feature is to keep you gaming even more ;)

    oh BTW, the PS3 update goes live today [ great timing ]

  77. Ivan_PSP:

    It does how you know Roca?

  78. Roca.:

    its all over the web Ivan

  79. Ivan_PSP:

    Okay i will check it out now time to become a Facebook member. Facebook just 1+ member i will use the name Ivan_PSP or IvanPlayStation4LiFe.

    I want all developers to take advantage over this it will help them a lot.

  80. Barnabe Jones:

    Roca, sounds good. You can help me with 4-2 and the king. ;)

  81. kev:

    roca – “its just funny that MS’s facebook feature is more than likely to keep you away from gaming, while Sony’s facebook feature is to keep you gaming even more ”

    YOU’RE RIGHT!!! now lets watch the ps3 attach ratio eclipse that of the 360…. any…day..now…LMAO.!!!

    I find it sad you didn’t make this claim when sony launched HOME….*sigh* sad, sad little fanboys…

  82. Ivan_PSP:

    kev:
    Keep day dreaming

  83. JofaMang:

    Dude, the bladestone trophy is worth broadcasting about, hah! Doing the PBWT 4-3 backwards run for all of my xp farming to level 250, I only saw one pure bladestone, with over 30 luck and using the LSoS. By the way, you will probably get to trade level with me before you get one, hah.

  84. Barnabe Jones:

    Wow and you had luck 30?!?! We may just have to catch up with you then ;)

  85. Roca.:

    im done with demon’s souls (got platinum)..

    maybe we should all start fresh for some co-op :)

  86. Ivan_PSP:

    UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves play the king now.

  87. kev:

    Ivan PSP – you’re right.. the ps3 attach ratio will never be higher than the 360′s. thanks for reminding me.

  88. Ivan_PSP:

    God of War Collection today sweet another awesome exclusive gotta adore Sony. We can’t keep up with exclsuives every month is full of PS3 exclusives. Sony is working nonstop pure overcharge gaming mayhem.

  89. Ghost:

    Hey Ivan but the “other console” has Halo…hehehe
    or was it just half a Halo this year? lol

  90. Roca.:

    “Sony is working nonstop pure overcharge gaming mayhem.”

    lmaooo… dont tease kev like that.

  91. Roca.:

    MS on making ODST

    “uhmm we need more money from our customers FAST!!…hmm lets make a Halo expansion w/all the maps they already own and also put a FANCY name so they think they are getting something special, and also CHARGE FULL PRICE, we know all the Halo crack heads are going to buy it anyways…CASHIN’ ~”

  92. ToshithegreaT:

    God of War Collection today sweet another awesome exclusive gotta adore Sony.

    @ivan

    ???

  93. ToshithegreaT:

    SONY on making GT5P

    “uhmm we need more money from our customers FAST!!…hmm lets make a GT demo 70 cars(initially only 37) and 6 tracks, which they already will be getting in the full game and also put a FANCY name so they think they are getting something special, and also CHARGE $$$, we know all the GT crack heads are going to buy it anyways…CASHIN’ ~”

  94. ToshithegreaT:

    Here another one, just for ye pal ROCA

    SONY on making GT4 Prologue

    “uhmm we need more money from our customers FAST!!…hmm lets make a GT demo w/ 50 cars and 5 tracks, which they already will be getting in the full game and also put a FANCY name so they think they are getting something special, and also CHARGE $$$, we know all the GT crack heads are going to buy it anyways…CASHIN’ ~”

  95. Roca.:

    that game was never released in NA. lol

    but anyways Polyphony brought out Gran Turismo 4 Prologue as a sneak preview to the full experience of Gran Turismo 4 (the next GT game) while Halo was a sneak preview of errr..Halo 2 and 3 or the previous Halo title. it was a “done that, been there” type of game. lol

  96. Roca.:

    you forgot to mention Halo 3 was basically halo 2 lol. L4D was half of a game also. and Forza 3 is 1/3 of a GT game

  97. Roca.:

    prologue is not a fancy name, so everybody knows what they were getting and Sony never charged full price for them….ur joke ended up back firing at you

    and yes GT5p has 70 cars……how many does Burnout Paradise has (76), how many does NFS shift has (65). how does Midnight Club has (43 cars and 3 bikes)….come on dude GT5p’s 70 realsitc looking cars is a steal for $40 compare to those for $60. you point fell short lol

  98. ToshithegreaT:

    “that game was never released in NA. lol”

    But it was released and sold in Japan and Europe

  99. Roca.:

    but not for full price ;)

  100. ToshithegreaT:

    “Polyphony brought out Gran Turismo 4 Prologue as a sneak preview to the full experience of Gran Turismo 4″

    Thanks for admitting that it was a SNEAK PREVIEW” ie ala Demo..

    “while Halo was a sneak preview of errr..Halo 2 and 3 or the previous Halo title. it was a “done that, been there” type of game. lol”

    This quote of urs show that u r a troll and know nothing abt halo ODST.. It was mentioned that story of ODST occurs before Halo 3, but it was neither a sequel or prequel to halo 3 and definitly not a sneak preview..

    “it was a “done that, been there” type of game. lol”

    U can say the same thing for most shooters and racing/sports game..

    “prologue is not a fancy name, so everybody knows what they were getting and Sony never charged full price for them….ur joke ended up back firing at you”

    Meaning of Prologue – An introduction or introductory chapter..
    Actually Prologue is a fancy name, coz otherwise, it would had to be named GT 5 “DEMO”, or GT 4 “Demo” and clearly, nobody would have paid a dime for it..

    “how many does Burnout Paradise has (76), how many does NFS shift has (65). how does Midnight Club has (43 cars and 3 bikes)….come on dude GT5p’s 70 realsitc looking cars ”

    None of them are simulation games, gameplay is different, have nothing to do with a demo selling for 40$..

    “but not for full price”

    Doesnt matter, when a remastered remake of old games are selling for 40$, how can u point out a game with a new 5-8 hour long campaign + 4 player + complete multiplayer..
    U can argue, that the game’s multiplayer is from halo 3, but still there is nothing missing from the game, its the complete multiplayer experience..
    And 60$ for a complete albeit old multiplayer is anyday better than 40$ demo..

    “you forgot to mention Halo 3 was basically halo 2 lol. L4D was half of a game also. and Forza 3 is 1/3 of a GT game”

    As usual u are trying to go off topic.. So ill pass the bait.. But i am sure, u ll be bored tomorrow at work and we can discuss this again

  101. Roca.:

    if you had a PS3 you will know there is a GT5 demo that came out years before Prologue came out. I believed the demo had 5 cars and two tracks for FREE.

    now if can name a racing demo (or a racing game) that has 70 cars, time-trails, drift mode, online mode, SP and GT-TV that will be nice.

    Thanks

  102. Roca.:

    and actually NFS Pro street and NFS Shift are both track racing games just like GT.

    Toshi “Doesnt matter, when a remastered remake of old games are selling for 40$”

    lol uhmm thats just about how much they will cost you for the PS2. so again its a steal with better res and trophies. no point fell short again

  103. Ivan_PSP:

    Roca.:
    Yeah is true trophy was the selling point for me. I already got God of War 1 and 2. You can find those game new on Amazon or eBay cheaper.

    I want GTA Trilogy remastered in 1080p with trophies and online support for $60 in a single Blu-ray Disc.

  104. Roca.:

    the Demo argument about GT5 is a lost battle.

  105. kev:

    Roca – “the Demo argument about GT5 is a lost battle”.

    true. it’s a glorified demo, but still a demo.

    all of the prologues of the GT series have been previews of the final game to come.

    they do this because it takes them years to release full versions.

    this sums it up perfectly:
    “hmm lets make a GT demo 70 cars(initially only 37) and 6 tracks, which they already will be getting in the full game and also put a FANCY name so they think they are getting something special, and also CHARGE $$$, we know all the GT crack heads are going to buy it anyways…CASHIN’ ”

    that’s what they have to do….

  106. Roca.:

    come up with your BS and stop using others. lol you are really pathetic

  107. Ivan_PSP:

    kev:
    You are so fucking jealous stop showing.

    Roca – waaaaaaah…lmao….

    PS3 is still the king

  110. Roca.:

    doesnt change the fact the GT5p looks and plays (and sold better) than forza 3

  111. Ivan_PSP:

    LoL true.

    “November 1, 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment has announced an extension of availability for the Japan-only demo of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Originally set to be cleared from the PlayStation Store on 11/11, the demo will now be available for download until 11/30.

    While we’re not sure of the reason for the change, we are sure that those who pick up the 40 gigabyte PS3 on or after the 11/11 release date will be happy to see a demo (of a demo) of the ultimate racing sim still available for download”

    “Now this could be the first time a demo for a demo has ever been released as GT Channel is reporting Sony will offer the Gran Turismo 5: Prologue demo free directly from the PlayStation Store beginning Oct. 20.

    The demo will likely be the same as the one shown at Tokyo Game Show, which featured 16 vehicles and three tracks. You might remember Sony removed Gran Turismo HD from the PS Store in late September, paving the way for GT 5: Prologue.

    Unless something else swoops down to unseat it, GT5: Prologue will be the most expensive demo ever at about $43 for the disc version and about $39 from the PS Store”

    You Xbots are in love with GT wow.

  115. Roca.:

    GT5p has 70 cars……how many does Burnout Paradise has (76), how many does NFS shift has (65). how does Midnight Club has (43 cars and 3 bikes)….come on dude GT5p’s 70 realsitc looking cars is a steal for $40 compare to those for $60. you point fell short lol

    try harder.

    now if YOU CAN name a racing “demo” (or a racing game) that has 70 cars, time-trails, drift mode, online mode, SP and GT-TV that will be nice. its a steal for $40. specially since all your progress/cars will be transfer to GT5. Demo dont do that.

    the GT5 demo was free and it had 5 cars and 2 tracks. this sounds more like a demo. your making ur self look even more stupid

  116. phranctoast:

    he already did that with this

    “CASHIN’ ”

    I believe he meant “Ca Ching”

  117. kev:

    roca – “doesnt change the fact the GT5p looks and plays (and sold better) than forza 3″

    actually, the reviews say vastly different.

    but YOU know more than all the dozens of reviews tha say differernt right?

    geez…ps3 fanboys are just the worst…LMAO!!

  118. kev:

    roca – wait until forza3 has been on the market as long as GT5p before comparing sales..

    bah…nevermind…that’s common sense…. too much for you to comprehend…

    comparing a game on the market almost a year to one on the market less than 3 weeks…nice…lmao…idiot…

  119. Ivan_PSP:

    Gran Turismo 5 is going to shatter record.

  120. Roca.:

    “wait until forza3 has been on the market as long as GT5p before comparing sales..”

    GT5 will be out before FM3 can overtake GT5p in sales. and GT5 will destroy both
