Quote: The microtransaction-focused game, Gran Turismo HD: Classic will be the online-focused entrant into the GT-series. In this game, players will (reportedly) start with no cars or courses available to them. Instead, they will need to purchase their stable of cars and courses to race on. The pricing reported in the Famitsu piece indicated that cars would cost between 50-100 yen ($0.43-$0.85) and courses between 200-500 yen ($1.71-$4.26). There are approximiately 750 cars and 50 tracks available for purchase in the GT: HD Classic. Let's do the math:
750 cars for $0.50-$1.00 (Sony will round-up, don't you think?)
50 tracks for $1.50-$4.50
Let's say each car costs 50 cents - then you'll be paying $375 to collect all 750 cars. 50 tracks for an average of $2 apeice will come to another $100.
Quote: A complete copy of the game will cost gamers somewhere between $426.50 and $975, and that's without factoring in whatever Sony decides to charge for the menus (since that's all you'll get with GT HD: Classic).
Am I the only one who feels like I'm getting ripped off? What next? - First person shooters where you have to buy ammo to play?????
well, this game always looked good IMO, but the whole idea behind this game was a bit of a rip. so it adds some extra features, looks pretty, and has online, but its not exactly "GT5." if all that is true then i am disappointed, but then again i wasn't planning on getting the game. still sounds silly though
its a rip off and thats putting it mildly. it will work out at £300 for a full game, thanks but no, il have another 360 instead.
£400 for console that you need to pay when you play? cash for credits, havent we already got that option with arcades? and what about people without broadband how do they buy the extras?
am i starting to wish i hadnt sold my 360? sorry sony but if this is your buisness plan i think i might have to buy another
this completely stinks having to pay to get a car to drive for play like having a real car.. but in the process i kinda like the way of purchasing but it a waste of money by paying Php 18,000 ++
Quote:The other, Gran Turismo HD: Premium, will ship with two courses and 30 cars, with an additional 30 cars and an additional two courses online at a later date. The Premium game is being considered a prologue to the PS3's eventual Gran Turismo 5.
cmon guys read this is the real ver of Gran HD the other ver is for hardcore junkies that like the past games.Of coures your going to have to pay for something thats was made in the past.
