I own GT5 prologue since two weeks (live in Europe) and it is the best looking racing sim ever . With the damage download upgrade released later this year and more tracks in the vicinity, you can't go wrong . Yeah, it's not the full game, but there's still much GT to enjoy, and 16 players !! That's an absolute joy !! As an xbox 360 fan I must admit that the lineup of games is veeeerrry poor this year so far !!

So many games, so little money...I had to get Gamefly just to keep up, but some games, you just gotta own. While GT5 Prologue may only be a partial game, knowing Gran Turismo, it's probably enough of a game to keep me busy for a while. Still, dunno if I'm going to get it. I definitely want Okami though. Gotta support high quality 3rd party releases on Wii, plus I never played the original because my PS2 died. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action.

Dude there are plenty of hits for the PS3 and more coming today, you can't be dissing it and calling it a pile of crap, it rocks man, it's a home theatre guru's wet dream, I know it's mine. They have an update today that allows it to now do DTS-HD. I didn't even buy that crappy hd-dvd player for the 360 because the A30 was so much better.

Anyone who played Okami on the PS2, if they had even half a brain would have though immediately "this game would be fantastic on the wii". The PS2 version was excellent, and one of the best looking games iv seen ever(stylized graphics kick the **** out of generic graphics). Okami, another GoTY i think...

It's so amusing how people give bias negative comments. Who cares if they say they want a Wii game, instead of your silly GT, it's not like he's calling it out. Like I just did. Anyway, nothing good for this week. GT is only part of a game, Okami is port of, apparently, a great game, and Turok is just plain bad.

More details have emerged on the new PS3 80 GB Metal Gear Solid 4 Pack, which is apparently the replacement for the 80GB Motorstorm Pack in North America. The 80GB Motorstorm Pack has essentially disappeared from most retailers shelves as Sony shifts production to this new 80GB pack. This morning, Amazon listed the following new details: Product Description Introducing the PlayStation 3 Metal Gear Solid 4 Bundle. This limited edition bundle includes the highly-anticipated Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots game, new DualShock 3 wireless controller, voucher for free downloadable Pain game, free PlayStation Network membership, internet ready Wi-Fi, and 80GB of hard disk storage for all your games, music, videos, and photos. Every PS3 comes with a built-in Blu-ray player to give you the best high-definition viewing experience and pristine picture quality. Plus, the PS3 can play your entire catalog of CDs and DVDs. The product will come with the following items: o Metal Gear Solid 4 game o Dualshock 3 Controller o Voucher for free downloadable Pain game o Blu-ray player o 80GB HDD A European GTA IV PS3 40GB Bundle was recently revealed, but is a one in the works for North America as well?

Prologue will sell well, as will Okami. Other than that there is really nothing here that is dazzling. I won't be buying any new games this week. Still waiting for GTA4. =\

played okami already but will play it again on wii. sounds stupid but i loved the game, plus the good reviews due to better graphics and improved controls with the wii remote makes the already awesome game even better. i'm sure i won't regret this just like when i re-bought re4 for wii. let's support QUALITY games.

GT5P, game of the week!!!

GT5 Prologue is definately worth the price of admission. We have it in NZ already (and I assume Europe too), and it doesn't feel like a stripped down version of the game at all. Suprisingly full featured really, especially considering the price.

If I was into racing sims, I would definitely check out GT5 Prologue.

Def. adding all those Wii titles:) Seems like Okami will be a great addition to the collection... Summer Sports will allow me to exercise the Wiimote more and more!

40$ dollars is too much for GT5P I'll wait for the full game. I'd rather spend my money on GTAIV

Nothing worth getting for me this week, except maybe Fantasy Zone. Gotta wait until May I guess. I have enough stuff to play already.

Definitely GT5 Prologue (retail) for me. Will wait to see if it's worth upgrading Okami from PS2 to Wii. Waiting on reviews for Rondo of Swords. Maybe even Mega Turrican, if it's anything like them crazy shmups that i dig so much (Gradius, R-Tyope, Ikaruga, Mars Matrix and countless others)

GT5 is not my cup of tea, but it should do well for Sony. I'm still waiting for WipeOut HD, it's been a while since I've had a good hover-combat racer. I guess I'll just have to keep playing Quantum Redshift until then.

Why does Okami keep being referred to as a hit? It wasn't. At all. Sadly.
