According to reports from TheSixthAxis, SCEA has given some lucky websites a voucher code of the game for them to review. The download weighs approximately 937MB and requires the latest PSP firmware 6.00 installed. Now this is not really a surprising move from Sony since most of their latest PSP releases required a mandatory installation of firmware 5.55 that came along with the UMD.

Gran Turismo PSP will be released October 1.
