IGN, "GT5 Prologue Price Rumors "Categorically Incorrect"Internet rumours fail again as Sony UK says demo won't cost 45 Euros.UK, September 12, 2007 - SCEE has quashed internet rumours suggesting that the Blu-ray version of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will cost 45 Euros when it launches in Europe later this year. According to Sony, these reports are "categorically incorrect", with no decisions regarding price currently made.
Originally, various internet sources had claimed that price news had been announced by Sony Computer Entertainment Benelux (covering Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) during a press event.
However, while a Sony UK spokesperson did reiterate that Prologue won't be be free - unlike the previous demo - they confirmed that a price point for both Blu-ray and PlayStation Network versions of the game are "still all to be agreed"."
45 Euros is around $60 American. This is insane. Another instance of Sony acting like they have god's gift to gaming. I SERIOUSLY doubt anyone will be buying this game. From what I've seen of the title it just doesn't seem to be complete enough to warrant the price of a full game. I truly hope that this is truly a rumor. But considering this story keeps rearing it's head; it's hard to believe it to be untrue. At the very least I'm hoping the PSN version will be MUCH cheaper.
