|  Gran Turismo HD to cost up to $800
You have got to be kidding me! I really hope this isn't the trend of d/l content for the future. This makes me ill. Quote:
According to Famitsu, Gran Turismo HD will be released in two versions, one with no cars or tracks (at all) and the other, called “premium” with 30 cars and two tracks. Then the point is to go online and buy additional cars through Sony’s online system. The price of cars will range from $0.43 to $0.80 while the price of tracks ranges from $1.71 to $4.26. There are approximately 750 cars and 50 tracks in the game. You do the math.
Now, any sane person will immediately acknowledge this as probably the biggest next-gen rip-off in 2006. Never mind the $600 console, or the $60 games, selling games “empty” and charging for the content is unheard of in today’s videogame culture. Apparently, milking every penny out of loyal gamers is the true “next-gen” spirit.

A little more detailed explaination......
Quote:
The latest issue of Famitsu has an interview with Kazunori Yamauchi for the new Gran Turismo on PS3.
+ They'll release the new Gran Turismo called "Gran Turismo HD" (they use the same name as the E3 demo for the product name) for the PS3 soon. It's composed of 2 parts, Premium and Classic.
+ The proper GT5 is going to hit in 2008. GT HD is meant to grow the rich network service before GT5. The online modes in Classic are based on the 4 modes in GT4:Online beta (Quick Race/Tuned Race/Private Race/Time Attack) and several other modes are added. The online will be launched worldwide at the same time.
+ Gran Turismo HD: Premium is essentially a GT5 prologue that uses the full graphics power of the PS3. (Pictures show a 3D spectator crowd, very detailed car models with interiors.) The weather changes while racing. It comes with 2 courses (both original and new, city and nature) and 30 cars including new ones. You can buy additional 30 cars and 2 courses (real circuits) later online. This part is played in a casual arcade mode. It's a pure driving simulator and almost a tool as you don't get cars in in-game events, you just do whatever you want with cars and courses or buy new ones via online.
+ Gran Turismo HD: Classic is what adopts the GT:HD playable demo at E3 and meant to showcase the online aspect. A race is done with about 20 cars. Apparently this part starts with no cars or courses. You download a car for 50 - 100 yen (0.43 - 0.85$) and a course for 200 - 500 yen (1.71 - 4.26$). Over 750 cars and 50 tracks are available for purchase. Users can define race events freely and can hold online race events by themselves.
+ Not all cars and courses are available on the release date, they are added monthly. Some models may be a limited release for 1000 units. New playing modes and tuning parts may be available via download. It's still undecided if they allow trade among users in fear of real money trade.

PS3 commitee:
Person 1:"Right, we've had 10 years at the top. Personally I think that's enough."
Person 2:"Well, we can't just drop the PS3, can we?" It would be a massive PR failure for Sony"
Person 1:"Yeah, you're right. I know, we'll just make many of really stupid ideas and claims to put people off buying it (also a stupid price whilst were at it) and slowly but surely we can stop developing for the PS3."
Person 2:"Genius. Where shall we begin?"
Person 1:"Well, MS is releasing the Xbox 360 soon. You know that doesn't have a Cell processor? I know, let's call it an Xbox 1.5...that's a good start!"
Person 2:"I'll got get Ken Kuteragi...he'll preach it to the Fanboys..." | |

They said that they interviewed Kazunori Yamauchi and got the information from him. So id say that the GT people are at least thinking about it and fishing for public reaction.

Ok, they are taking the "additional content" idea WAY to far., They are making the game itself additional content. And if they paid attention to the response of people when additional maps came out for 360 games at a cost, they would realize that charging gamers is not the best way. A lot of people went nuts with the costs of it, none the less that they would charge at all for it.

I've also seen the rumor that there are martians on Mars published in a variety of publications, but there is nothing official yet.
