Think some of you guy's need to relax, listen to yourselves. Your saying i am embarassing myself because i did not include download figures from a different website. Well sorry that i did not know that prologues numbers on here were not downloads, sorry that i did not know that vgc is wrong and the right figures are over on Sony's website etc etc. In future from now on i will do extensive research in the lab and ring up every person whoever bought a game just to confirm those are the right sales, that should avoid embarrasment right?

As for the rest of it your talking bollocks. Prologue was always a discount title, it was never released as full price. I got it in it's first week for £19.99. As i said it price ranges. Here are a few links to proove that

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001NMUGXU/ref=asc_df_B001NMUGXU699188?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=7974&creativeASIN=B001NMUGXU

As i said ranges from £12-£19. But i was wrong, my bad. Amazon sell it for £11.

The difference is Prologue STARTED at around those prices (19.99). Halo didn't. The point of the downloads thing which you obviously missed was if your going to take one games downloads into account then at least do the same for the rest of the list. You might call that "fallacy", i would call it being fair. I have no idea how many Halo's were downloaded, in truth i could not care less. But there would of been downloads for them, you don't know those figures, to ignore them again just makes what your saying look biased.

Look at what your arguing about. The fact that i said Halo is selling at 4 to 1 over GT5 in US based on preorders. That must have really hit a nerve for you to get so wound up!

The problem is that you are still spewing out BS, instead of backing off and trying to keep atleast some dignity you are still trying so hard and still doing the same mistakes.

I see you are a huge amazon fan, so let's shut you up for good:

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - £32.59 TODAY (2 years after release)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gran-Turismo-5-Prologue-PS3/dp/B000E69YGQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1277904982&sr=8-2

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Platinum Edition - £11.95 (Platinum edition is kind of bestsellers re-release) 

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gran-Turismo-5-Prologue-PS3/dp/B000E69YGQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1277904982&sr=8-2

Prologue didn't start at £19.99, that was the price for the re-released greatest hits edition (Platinum Titles). Prologue therefor wasn't allways discounted title, you are the one talking bollocks and grasping at straws. Now you've been schooled so many times that it's getting boring.


Seriously you are making no sense at all. You just linked Amazon saying it was £32 then linked the one i linked saying it was £11....How does that make what i say wrong? I mean come on now your just arguing for the sake of arguing. Your claiming i am talking BS but yet you just supported what i said....

The non platinum Prologue i doubt is sold much anymore. But after a bit of research into it i have found a few places that do still at least have that version up on the website

None of them are above £18.....

What i find even more funny is your attack saying i am wrong that Prologue was not a full price title.....How quick you are to bash me and say i am wrong/scrapping the barrel/embarrasing myself etc.. As the old saying goes if your going to bash someone at least be right with what your bashing them about! Here is Sony's blog confirming prologues price....

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/01/29/gran-turismo-5-prologue-priced-and-dated/

$39. Or £26. Which by my maths is quite a way short of the full price you claim. So thanks for the schooling, but i prefer to be taught by someone who actually knows what they are talking about.

So that means you were wrong about the 4 to 1 ratio being false. Wrong about prologues price now, wrong about prologues initial price, Jarod just pointed out your wrong about the shipped/downloaded figures. And you say i am embarassed?

As i said before. For the love of god do us all a favour and take your biased replies elsewhere. Your scrapping the barrel trying to get as many numbers for GT5 as you can while ignoring all the others. What will you add next, the amount of people who picked up a Prologue box to look at the back?!

1) You see GT5 Prologue selling for £33 even today. Than you see discounter greatest hits version for £12. So that's hardly the £26 you claim it was priced for. It wasn't a full price release, but it wasn't discount bin either.

2) You link places that sell GT Prologue today for a price under £20, but what's that supposed to prove? Even Uncharted 2 costs aroud the same ammount today and that was released several months ago and recieved the most GOTY titles ever. Even your precious Halo 3 doesn't sell for over £20. So you didn't supported your claim one bit.

So in the end, you've failed yet again, I'm losing the count of your many fails and getting bored.

First you've tryied to chicken out after realising that Prologue sold nearly 5 milion copyies despite beeing just demoversion, than you've tryied to bash it with a release price, where your supposed claim support was basicaly linking it's prices 2 years after release. Yet amazon proved you wrong. So what's next? How are you going to amuse me now?

Mate there is no point in talking to you. You use Sony's figures to show downloads and claim them as gospel but when i show you Sony's figures for price of prologue they are all of a sudden wrong. Talk about double standards.

As for amusing you, i suggest looking up a psychologists number
