Default GT5 Prologue - Gran Turismo 5 Prolog - Game Help PS3

GT5 Prologue on PS3 is not the full Gran Turismo 5 game, so what do you get for your money? GT5 Prologue offers you over 40 cars to choose from and five real-life tracks to race your cars around, including the likes of the world-famous Suzuka racetrack in Japan.

If you need any help or advice with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for the Sony PS3 video game console, please ask you question below and one of our GT5 experts will help you.

Hi..
Trying to update my GT5 Prolouge, but i just wont work.
Its a japanese version, and i hav a japanese account.
Tried it Wireless and wired with no fire wall same result, the download goes like *rap and stops around 5-10 % with a warning triangle.
Tried the update when promted at start of game, and in the game with chosing "news" and "GT-TV" same result.
Tried at least 15 times now..

The servers themselves may be overly busy with other gamers grabbing the update. Also, the extra distance the update has to travel ( would I be correct given your chosen name you are in Sweden?) may be making your connection to the Japanese server somewhat lacklustre. Give it a break for maybe a couple of hours and give it another try then- it will be night time in Japan and the servers may not be as busy by then.

Yes, i'm in Sweden.. half way around the globe from JP.
Japan are 9 hours ahead of the cold country in north, that would give me about 03.30 Tokyotime, i'll wait another hour and have another go.
Thanx

Gran Turismo 5 prologue is only available in the Japanese PlayStation store, baggy- it hasn't been released anywhere else as of yet.

Yes it does- GT5 prologue isn't free. It costs 4500 yen, actually. In order to get it you'll need to get some money into that account's wallet. There is one person on eBay that is selling Japanese PSN cards for doing this- the price is about $55 US (which is pretty close to the actual value of the cards).

Default Re: GT5 Prologue - Gran Turismo 5 Prolog - Game Help PS3

just a quick note on updating the game...

After you have purchased the game from the Japanese PSN store and downloaded it, you will still have to perform another update of the game that adds the online racing component.

I have no idea how large this download is, but it took me the same length of time to download (maybe a bit longer) than downloading the whole game.

While mine updated first time, there have been a large number of people complaining that the update fails for them at some point or will not load at all. The only answer is to keep trying I am afraid.

By sheer luck, I downloaded mine at about 5am Japanese time and I guess there was very few other people online at the same time.

The online portion of GT5 Prologue makes this cut down version of the game worth buying and even though you will be racing against mostly Japanese racers there has been very few games where there is any lag (delay/jumpiness) during the races.

No, you can't use a British Visa card to pay for things on a Japanese account- they will only accept cards issued to addresses in Japan. Your best bet for being able to buy games from the Japanese store is the eBay method I talked about above. Go to eBay and search for PlayStation Store Network card and you will find him. You would be able to pay him via PayPal (which can be funded through your credit card) and he'll send the code along with directions on how to enter it in.

You won't be finding an English version of the manual until it actually gets released in North America, hardwood.

As for the two player, I can't say for sure as i haven't played it myself- you do get up to 16 player online multiplayer, though.
