...So basically, they're making you buy the game, and then buy cars and tracks seperately. WTF?
As someone who always loved teh GT series, this REALLY ****es me off. I hate the idea of micropayments in any form.
Not surpised but still ****ed off. One of the only noticable launch games is now another Sony money scheme.
WHO CARES ABOUT CUSTOMERS LETS JUST TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN
Hopefully someone will manage to hack the console and the game so that you can get free cars. Especially if they're already on the disc, and just 'locked'.
Yeah, I was about to make this thread. MICROTRANSACTIONS!
From what I hear it's going to cost well over $1000 to buy all the cars and tracks and ****, AND THAT'S NOT INCLUDING THE PRICE OF THE PS3, THE (unannounced) ONLINE SERVICE, THE TV OR THE ACTUAL DISC.
If someone buys Gran Turismo, I'm sure wasting money isnt an usual thing.
HAHA CUZ ONLY DEM MORNZ PLAY TEH RACE GAMEZ
The Gran Turismo series has been known for quality and realistic physics and modeling since it was introduced. I've played every one so far, and find this new trend saddening.
600$ for the console? Holy shi- it's getting far too expensinve. The game being 60$ seems ok, because I've seen more expensive games.
Having to go and buy cars and tracks is annoying. Why can't we buy them in packages? So complicated...
No, no. That wasn't a typo. To unlock everything in this game you will have to pay between 450 and 900 dollars.
Its times like this I begin to love software pirates.
I guess it's like buying expansions for games. It's a full game, but extras aren't something you need.
It's not that bad seeing as how you don't have to buy each car to get the full experience of the game.

You don't get any cars or tracks. YOU ARE PAYING 60 DOLLARS FOR A BLANK, LABELLED DISC.
Honestly, I've seen desperate Nintendo fanboys make more coherent arguements than the one you just made.
This is extortion and Sony are a[COLOR=lightgreen]s[/COLOR]sholes for pulling this, end of story. Honestly, how on Earth can you defend such a ridiculous action? You're actually okay with paying several hundreds dollars to get the same amount of cars Gran Turismo 4 had?
Oh man, I'm going to love telling this to the Sony Fanboys at school. :cool:
[quote=Princess Fate][COLOR=skyblue]From what I gathered, the game is released as one whole game in two parts, meaning two discs or one disc with two different parts. Classic is what appears to be the online version, which you apparently have to pay for (which is probably a Polyphonic thing and not a Sony thing). The game itself is composed as a whole, meaning extras and online play aren't necessary. Why in the world would they release a blank disc? Sounds like you didn't figure that it could be two different gaming aspects in one. The thread that was provided didn't specify.[/COLOR]
1) Polyphonic is a Sony 1st party. Sony tells THEM what to do.
2) Being charged $450 fucking dollars to use things you've unlocked online is total bull.
3) 30 cars and 2 tracks sucks for a racing game, especially one like GT.
4) To get everything that was available FOR FREE (I say "for free", really that'd what you were actually bloody paying for when you bought the disc) in GT4 will cost several hundred dollars.
They're selling you a demo (those things you can download for free on Xbox 360?) and an old game for $450 dollars. I thought even Sony zombies would be able see through this crap, but you're really beginning to make me wonder.
People should just play the PS2 version of GT4 considering it's identical in every aspect apart from toned-down graphics and it's about 2% of the price.
Can't wait for PS3 to release a Monopoly game with a free credit card slot.
Sony fails :(
... whoosh
Would you mind expending that "woooosh" plz?
Do you not understand the concept of paragraphs? Not ever sentence is its own paragraph. You can have upwards of seven sentences in one if you desire. Learn it.
He was trying to make it as easy to read as possible for the poor boy.
Makes it more difficult to read, if anything.
If this is what gaming is coming to with Sony its a very very sad thing..... Im usually a sony fanboy but this is one of those things that makes you completely question how anyone can get away with somthing like this.
