Gran Turismo TV makes its debut with Friday's update photo

Friday is going to be a good day for those of you who have been patiently waiting for Gran Turismo TV to finally make its way onto the PS3. If all goes as planned, you'll be greeted with what Sony terms a "significant update" when you fire up Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

In layman's terms, it will amount to an in-game automotive media channel that hopes to showcase an attractive offering of both free and pay-per-view programming, like Top Gear and Best Motoring. Personally, I'd settle for a complimentary subscription to MotorWeek and that highly anticipated damage modeling update they teased us with in the past, but I guess that this is still great news -- considering that we are getting updates on Prologue to begin with.

So in other words, if automotive TV on the PS3 is your thing, get ready to crack open that special bottle of champagne you've secretly had stashed away for this special day. Or, do you plan on saving that celebration for the game's full- featured release?

I'd do it for Top Gear, though it's already on torrents the day after it's shown, so if it's PPV, bleh.

I'd be into it if I didn't have to pay for it regularly. It has my interesting, but sadly, GT5 does not.

Well this is one of my favorite games for sure! I wonder though, with technological breakthroughs, like the <a href="http://www.motorola.com/E8">Motorokr's</a> awesome video capability, and Windows 11 capability, the quality of mobile games would be a super breakthrough, and we can start playing these kind of games on the go anywhere. What do you guys think?

Dr Scientist fails at spamming.

The EU have had GTTV since release...what's going on?!

Not sure we'll get much good original content tomorrow when we update though, seeing as Top Gear is kind of, well, you know, made here. ^_^

What I'm looking forward to is the Nurburgring 24H race videos, they could be cool, although the intro video was got was complete and utter pish, nothing interesting in it at all.
