And that's no different to MS points.

I know, but Sony takes it to the next level. Releasing the game with no cars? Even if the game were to cost you 1 dollar. You'd be able to afford ~70 cars only and that would already cover a full game's cost ($60)

I think this was lost in translation somewhere, simply because NeoGaf implied that it in fact came with alot of cars, and then others will be made available along the way. But if not then it's a bad business model, as long as GT5 doesn't do this it's fine.

Whoa Rox, look at what you are saying. I believe paying extra for Horse armor in a game stupid. But Oblivion was a very complete game, I don't know who can deny that. Scores say it all.

Sony plans on releasing a version of the game with NO CARS/Few cars. And this is GT we are talking about? The last version had 700+ cars, and considering this is basically the same game with online and HD resolution, I wonder what their excuse is.

I payed for a PGR3 car pack with ~12 cars and basically, it rounds up to what Sony is supposedly planning on charging. The difference here is that PGR3 was already a very complete game, and a completely new product with next gen graphics and all (Not PGR2 HD).

So basically this is the deal:

You buy PGR3 and get a complete game with 80 cars for $60 dollars.
or
You buy GT HD with no cars, try to match PGR3's number of cars, and let's say the game costs you $1 dollar (yeah right). At .75c a car, you pay $60 + the $1 dollar the game cost you. You pay $61. Of course, I highly doubt the game will cost you one dollar only.

But we are comparing to PGR3, a game that usually includes a healthy amount of cars, but nothing massive like Forza or GT4. So, if we compare to something in more direct competition like Forza 2 that is going to include 300+ cars, you end up paying ~$225 to match the number of cars you are getting in Forza 2. And let's not forget it's just GT HD, and let's not forget you got 750 cars last gen......

I don't know, to me this is totally unnaceptable.

This is some serious s*** Sony is planning here.

Hopefully because somehow it needs to be fixed. GT fans are used to huge quantities of cars--or in a more general way to say it, a lot of content--for the same price of any other game they buy.

I see your calculators working tonight :P

If it's true?? Who in there right mind would buy a game you can't play?
Trust me, even Sony aren't that stupid.

You know Einstein failed for mathematics, right? ;)

Ontopic, if true, that's just fucking ridiculous, that's all I can say!

What? I failed at history but I know that's not true, that's illogical, a physicist failed at math?

So I asked wikipedia, and I found this:

"The recurring rumor that Einstein failed in mathematics during his education is untrue. On the contrary, Einstein has always shown great talent at mathematics. The grades system of Switzerland where 6 is the best achievable mark may have stirred confusion amongst those with the German grades system in mind, 1 being the best achievable mark there. By age 15 however, Albert Einstein received poor grades in history, languages and geography"

Now that sounds more like it. And on another note, failing a class doesn't entirely mean you don't understand the material. What if you know all about history, absolutely ALL about history, but you don't like writing and so your writing is pretty bad. The final research paper is worth 70% of your grade......you failed the class, doesn't mean much.

Ofcourse not, the man was brilliant, who cares if he actually did fail for maths.
I was just messing with ya, that's all. ;)

Though I didn't know it was a false rumour, I actually thought he did fail his math exams once, but passed for them eventually.
Too bad though, it's a pretty funny anekdote to have one of the worlds most brilliant men ever failing his math exams... :D

That sucks. If it's true, Sony sucks. Don't try to deny it anymore, they suck. They're greedy. Greedy and sucky.

A greedy mega-corporation..no wai! Microsoft is all hugs and kisses though? Aparently there's not gonna be two SKU's--that part was wrong--microtransactions are a given though. I blame Apple--they proved that people are willing to pay out the arse for crap that the same people used to get for free..
