I think it is next to impossible to buy online, unless you have a japanese credit card frown

Though i would love to be proven wrong!

Play-Asia will ship the Japanese Disc Version to the states (but refuse to ship to europe).. so if you have an uncle/mate/colleague in the states you could get them to order it, and then post it to you..... think that's about the only way for us poor europeans to get Prologue before 2014 or whenever the fcensoredk it's finally released over here..... :angry:

Why the delay, the uk version will be EXACTLY the same as the US apart from a few extra 'u's inserted in some words, in HD there is no concept of PAL or NTSC so thats an excuse denied from them. Market fixing tossers.

lots of copies on ebay, but dont know if its worth the bother. i have bought jap games before and they work fine, but i'm more concerned about the amount of written content, upgrades tuning etc. probably wait for american version at least that should have basic english.

Many prople have ordered PSN points cards from ebay which allows you to download it from the Japan PSN.

Also I beleive there are a number of retailers who still ship it to the UK, yesasia (I think) are one of them.

I'm gonna wait until March for the UK release though smile

Yeah, I got a chum in Japan to buy a Points card for me, and email me the scratch-off number thingy...
Then he had to guide me through the whole process - Its all in Japanese!

Does a G25 work with the PS3 then? If so that's finally one area (for me at least) the PS3 has the Xbox 360 beaten.

Yep G25 works a treat with PS3 and GT5 Prologue. Nice Force Feedback and clutch pedal that works with it too...try out your clutch kick drifting wink
There's some vids of a PS3 and G25 set-up on Youtube somewhere.

Apologies if this is repeating what has been said before but....

Can anyone whose played it tell me what the engine sounds are like? I am very tired of the big V8 cars in GT4 sounding like a blender.
