^ Ummm...

Read the first line

"Yes it is, here's the press release.

Find the line that says charge.

You said so that it is free.

Well, we're saying the opposite thing. I think the press release saying it is being released on a Blu-ray disc means it will not be free.

Come on, a little crow never hurt nobody.

Maybe free download over the store, but with free extras in the box at retail for $20??

The "Yes it is" was a reply to "Reading is fundamental", when in my original post I said "actual press release".

I'm not saying the opposite to you, I'm stating that the conclusion you have come to from the press release is unfounded merely at the presence of the phrase "Blue-ray disk"

The release does not state either way if GT Prologue is chargeable.

Personally, I think it's just too much of a game to be offered for free on PSN or Blu-ray:

This isn't a demo. This is better than Motorstorm, for pete's sake.

TBH, I agree with you.

That 16 player netplay will keep me going for months!

But theres nothing in the press release that confirms free or not way =P

It won't be free. There is just no chance, not even a .00000001% chance that it will be free.

If this game was going to be released free, it almost certainly would have been mentioned in the press release

im gettin this regardless

I was right, Lost in translation and not surprising it was gamespots mistake.

Did they release the Price ?
