Default Gran Turismo HD

I recieved an email today from GTPlanet.net. It says that the GT HD demo is available now and it shows some really cool stuff. Heres the email:

As you may or may not be aware, the Gran Turismo HD demo for the PlayStation 3 was just made available by free download from the PlayStation Network! This new demo is a Gran Turismo 5 "preview" of sorts, to give a hint at what the Polyphony Digital team is capable of on the new gaming system. It includes one new track, the "Eiger Nordwand", and 10 cars including the '96 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR, '94 Nissan SKYLINE GT-R Vspec II, and '06 Ferrari 599. As your times get progressively faster, the faster cars become available, "Drift Mode" is unlocked, and the Eiger can be run in reverse. Fastest times are posted to online Leaderboards, and you can download these hot laps and check them out for yourself. If you have a PS3, start your download now and join the other lucky GTPlanet members in the Gran Turismo HD forum - if not, we have plenty of high definition footage and screenshots to hold you over.

I downloaded it already. It's so tight! The graphics are picture perfect. Just like a real photo.

They're making both. HD is for the PS3 I think and GT5 is for PS2. I'm probably wrong though but from what i've heard thats whats happaning.

I don't think so. Because Vision GT was planned way before GTHD was.

look.


GTHD is a demo. that's all. it was never going to be a full game. i don't know why anyone thought it ever was.

vision gt was the name before gthd. they're the same thing.

now , GT5 will be the next & GTHD is just a few tracks and cars available as a downloadable demo.

Ok, I saw a Vision GT on Bestbuy.com. If I buy it, would I be buying Vision GT or GTHD or both?

it would be one game.

or demo actually.

all that happened is the name changed.
you can still find copies with the old name such as the one you found.
