Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is a free download on PSN (for now)

It was revealed in the Leipzig Games Convention that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be available as a free download. Series creator Kazunori Yamauchi himself confirmed this, saying that the download won’t only be for free on the PlayStation Network, but will roll out later on this year. Some definite good news there!

However, PlayStation site PSU upped the ante of this announcement by contacting SCEI. Their response was a simple: “Yes, it will be free for download on the PSN, and we are thinking of charging—but doubt it. For now it is free.”

Say what? First we learn a few days ago that it’d be free, and then now, there might actually be a chance of it not to. Well, let’s just keep our fingers crossed here. Meanwhile, we’ll keep you guys posted on any further developments on the PSN release of this hot racer.
