Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

There has been rumor and speculation from the PS3 community over whether the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue demo would come to the US, after its release in Japan and annouced release in Europe. Well, the rumors can be put to rest as Sony has officially announced that the demo will be coming to the States on April 17th, 2008. The demo is an extended demo as it is suppose to include roughly 60 cars and several tracks. It will also have some form on online play included for the $40 price tag.

The game will ship via a Blu-ray disc or you will have the option of downloading it from the Playstation Store. One has to wonder if there will be a price break if you get the game from the store, but nothing has been said as of yet. While I know this is bigger than a normal demo, I have to wonder how many people are willing to pay $40 for stress test version of the game (rumor is that this was released in the US to test the network code). It is a possibility, as we saw Crackdown get huge numbers due to inclusion of the ability to get into the Halo 3 beta. I just don’t know if Gran Turismo carries as much weight as it has in the past, as the last GT definitely witnessed depressed sales when compared to GT3.
