Sony was working on the back end for the launch of the new PlayStation Store, and that held up releases on the PlayStation Network for a bit. But now it looks like we're back in business, and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is leading the pack.
Finally, the "intense precursor to Gran Turismo 5" is here, and it will set you back almost 40 bones. Some are calling Gran Turismo 5 Prologue "just a demo," but it's pretty robust (and expensive) to be just a demo. You get over 60 vehicles, a new dash view, and up to 16-person multiplayer online action in this 1.78 GB download.
And that's it this week for downloadable games, and there's only one demo: UEFA EURO 2008 (988mb). What? No PSOne titles after our two week wait?
There is plenty of add-on game content this week. Warhawk has the "Operation: Broken Mirror" booster pack (131mb, $7.99), or the Booster Combo, which adds “Operation: Omega Dawn" for four more dollars. Super Stardust HD Solo ($4.99) gives Stardust HD some solo action -- make sure you have the original before you download this. And then there's the free Lair control update we told you about earlier (245mb).
Of course, there's a ton of Rock Band songs to download. I thought it was funny that, when polled, 80% of the Attack of the Show audience says they don't buy any Rock Band songs. Who's buying this stuff? Is it just Nick Chester? I'm sure everyone will nab the free Jonathan Coulton "Still Alive" song.
This week's videos:

- Condemned 2: Bloodshot Making Of The TV Spot

Oh. And Fuck yeah Simple Man! Awesome to play on guitar.
All for $3~ I can't say no to $3-5 purchases cause its literally less than one meal nowadays.
I wasn't going to get it, read the top few hits on Metacritic, and caved. It seems like Forza 2 would be pretty hard to top. Own Forza 2 but haven't played in a long time.
Not a huge sim fan, but I'm a WRX owner because of GT. If the cars feel great I'll be happy.
You can't actually make private races can you?
Oh! it's almost half done! *jinxes it*
I just think that it should be so. If so then GT should be the same. It may make a difference.
I'm getting neither. My standards are too high to pay $40 for a demo. (except I did pay $60 for a Halo 3 Beta) Shit, my only reason for not buying the game went to hell.
I'm definitely getting a driving wheel as well.
This one from Logitech seems to be calling out to me to spend entirely too much money on it.
