While I dont think I will pay $10 for this DLC, NFS: Shift was a really good game, and I'm currently enjoying the Ferrari pack that they released a lot. But that is a lot of cash for only one additional track, though that NSX would be nice to have...

@hardock spiffy

And the price won't be the same in the PS3 version, because...?

Well, you had the balls to admit when you can't respond to something like this. That's more than I can say for most people.

Lol @ the masarati coincidentally having the word "GranTurismo" in it's title.


Thanks for reminding me that I should save my money for the best racing game, GT5... sorry EA, but there can only be 1 king.

Assuming GT5 will be the 'best' game even in your own opinion is silly. Stop that, it's silly.

@ Tarvu

Very seldom am I sure of anything, but I can promise you GT5 will be the best racing game ever made. given the physics in GT5: prologue, along with car damage, over 1000 cars, online, an exhaustive career mode, nascar and rally racing included in the already amazing circuit races, and the fabulous license tests, performance upgrades and tweaks, i'm pretty sure it's a fair bet. Throw the pelican racing wheel on there with great force feedback and responsive gas/brake pedals...seriously, nothing even comes close, not even Forza.

You're pretty much a fool if you think GT5 won't be great given the previous series and all the additions they're making.

Geez, what they pass off as $10 DLC these days?! Maybe $5 and I'd get it. I think the last Borderlands DLC just spoiled me, but now I expect much more for $10. DLC as we know is is now inadequate. Damn you Gearbox and you're exceptional commitment to your fans!

Yeah airbagtelex, I also expected GT on PSP to be great... after all only a fool would mess with the traditional formula. Oh, hello Sony! Sorry, didn't see you there.
I really hope the latest GT is the best racer ever, it has the necessary credentials, but I ain't counting any chickens till it's out! And only a twattish fanboy would strive to claim its brilliance is already assured.

@ mesonW like i said, GT5 prologue was great, with more features it would already be the best racing game....those features are coming with GT5...ok you're right, we can't be 100% sure, but imo it's 90%, and 90% is pretty good odds.

Agreed :) i would just prefer to quietly wait for it and beam with pleasure upon its arrival if it all comes right.

I for one think that GT5 is to little to late. With all the delays its had its been overtaken by the true leader of racing that being Forza.

Too little too late? how is ALL that content i listed above too little? Delays aside, it's not going to stop anyone from buying it when it comes out. You all act like you sold your ps3s...gimme a break.

naa, ask any professional racer whos played videogames which is the most accurate driving simulation and it's always Gran turismo.

when GT5 hits, it's going to leave Forza so far behind the only ppl playing it will be xbox fanboys living in denial....

This game has amazing car audio. I wish the physics weren't that arcade/sim trash.

Not if you like racing games.
