"The game is due for release on the PlayStation Network as a free download later this year."

Oh this better be true, not some lost in translation thing.

Ya, it'll be free. And it will have damage modeling for the whiners.

This is so Sony wmd for xmas, give the millions of GT nuts a reason to buy a PS3 now rather then when ever the hell GT5 finally hits.

the announced it will be free back when they announced GTHD was going to be free...

It's a demo of GT5 isn't it? Why wouldn't it be free?

Am I the only one who kinda expects a car game to have damage shown on the car??

Hey, in Mario Kart, your kart gets hit with all sorts of Goomba's, flashing people, shells, bombs, and the Kart isn't damage at all. I think GT5 is just tired of the comparison of the same damage modeling as Mario Kart.

Despite the sarcastic nature of my comment, you've kinda got to be realistic.

If you crash at 120 miles per hour, your car isn't moving again. Admittedly, this adds a layer of great realism in that crashing is bad in a racing sim. Put players like some forgiveness? A fender bender is a start, but a blown engine and a AAA call is too much.

Cause its not a demo duhh, GT4 prologue and GT concept cost $.
