Only $40? That's quite a steal. Certainly, if not the best, one of the best damn racing simulator games on the market.

Haven't picked up GT4, but I do own and play GT3 A-Spec from time to time.

    I'm pretty sure that those who get Prologue will have more additions than those who just get the regular. Though I'll feel dumb if that weren't true.

That's less than what the japanese pay for it. Not much, but still. I'm guessing it will be around 30-35 Euros...

I just want to know when the real game is going to be done. Was it confirmed that there is no damage?

  No, they confirmed there will be no damage. They said there may be a post-release download, but as it stands, no damage. Hopefully this'll be the game that puts Forza 2 in its place. Personally I think the cars are too sluggish in Forza 2...

  They always do this... They released a demo of the prologue on the Japan store, and then released the Prologue which they always do...
