** A Quick Reminder!!

• I've received many many emails asking exactly what time the demo will be available. According to the Japanese press release, the demo will be available beginning "around noon" on Oct. 20th 2007 Japan time. Go to the very bottom of this page to see what time is that in your timezone. Have fun!

Here is some breaking official information from the demo press release.

In one more day (Japan time), the most anticipate driving game of all time [Gran Turismo 5 Prologue] will be available to the PS3 as a free download. Though I am 80% sure the demo is intended to be for Japan only, however that doesn't mean all GT fans outside of Japan can't download it. I am pretty sure if you have a Japanese PSN account you will be able to download it from the Japanese PSN store. If you don't know how to create a Japanese account, stay tuned as I will be creating a step-by-step guide to create a Japanese account later today.
