Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be coming to the PlayStation Network later this year, Sony announced at its E3 conference yesterday evening.
It's another free taster of what we can expect from the full Polyphony Digital game due some point in the future. The demo will let players race online for the first time ever in the series, using a bunch of shiny cars.
We imagine you'll probably be gawking at the hugely impressive graphics we saw in the on-stage trailer, too. "Look at the reflections on that," said Ellie Gibson, who was commentating live from the event.
The decision to release another Gran Turismo 5 teaser stemmed from the success of HD Concept earlier in the year, which let you race a handful of cars around a single track - supposedly powered by a version of the GT5 engine.
It was so popular more than one million of you clamoured to download it, according to Sony Worldwide Studios boss Phil Harrison. And rightly so, reckoned Eurogamer hack Tom Bramwell, who went hands-on with it back in March.
So it all seems to be shaping up well for the iconic and immensely popular racing series. But will we see the full game before 2009, Sony?

Capcom expects Sony to cut the price of the PlayStation 3 again before the end of the year.
Speaking to Reuters, the Japanese publisher's chief financial officer said he expected PS2 users to adopt the PS3 gradually.
"The number of PS2 users is still growing and a shift to the PS3 is on the back burner," commented Kazuhiko Abe.
"But, the price has been cut once and it is likely to be cut again towards the end of the year."
"I expect the [PS3's] installed base to grow gradually," he said.
Sony cut the price of the 60GB PS3 to USD 499 earlier this week, with SCEA boss Jack Tretton claiming double sales figures for the home console off the back of the move.

Microsoft's Peter Moore has told GamesIndustry.biz that he doesn't consider Sony's recent PS3 discount a price cut at all - but rather a move to offer added value for the same price.
Sony dropped the price of the 60GB model on Monday to USD 499, while revealing a new SKU with an 80GB hard-drive and copy of Motorstorm for USD 599
"Interestingly, I didn't see a price cut, and I must have been reading the wrong thing. It's still USD 499 and USD 599," Moore told GamesIndustry.biz in an interview.
"They've added greater value in the form primarily of storage at the same price points."
For Moore, a price cut would mean a more significant drop in price - something his own company has yet to do with the Xbox 360.
"They've added greater value at the same prices. Which to me is not a price cut. I don't want to be anal, but I read "price cut" and I expected to see USD 399," he continued. "When I hear the words "price cut" I expect to see a price cut."
Despite Sony's claims of a doubling in sales of PS3 since Monday, Moore believes ultimately the consumer will decide if the price is now low enough.
"I did see Nintendo's George Harrison saying that it's ineffective, but the consumer will vote on that. Jack [Tretton] did say, anecdotally, that their sales have doubled [since the price cut], so we shall see," he offered.

NCsoft Europe CEO Geoff Heath has told GamesIndustry.biz that the games the company plans to release for PlayStation platforms are also likely to be released for PC.
Heath's comments followed the Sony conference announcement that NCsoft has signed a development deal to produce titles for PS3 and PSP. He told GI.biz, "We've got a load of stuff in development, primarily for PC, and we will with Sony select the ones that are applicable to do on PS3.
"Those are the ones we will do for PS3, and they will be exclusive to PS3, but they will also very likely be on PC."
Heath confirmed the games will not appear on any other console, stating that there are "no plans" to develop games exclusively for Wii or Xbox 360. However, he added, "We'll continue to talk to all the other console people, we're not cutting off anything with anybody.
"But in terms of what Sony's vision is and our vision is for online gaming on console, I think it's a good fit."
No details of game titles or release dates were announced at Sony's conference today. Heath said there is "no minimum and no maximum" to the number of NCsoft games which will eventually appear on PlayStation platforms, but that the first batch will be comprised of several titles.
"Our nice problem is to try and distill down to three or four titles initially that will do for PS3, and working out with Sony which ones they are," he explained.

Activision, Midway, and Konami showed off their upcoming titles to E3 attendees in a series of afternoon press conferences.
“We are pleased with Sony’s recent PS3 price cuts, which will provide additional opportunities to increase sales on that platform,” said Activision's Robin Kaminsky. She noted that the company holds a leadership position on all three current generation consoles.
With Stan Lee, Tony Hawk, Slash, and Jamie Kennedy in attendance, Activision showed video footage of the upcoming titles Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground, Bee Movie Game, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.
At Midway’s conference, the focus was on John Woo’s Stranglehold. A downloadable demo will be released next month for the 360, PS3, and PC, with the final game coming in August. The PS3 version will have Woo’s Hardboiled film together with the game on one Blu-Ray disk.
Midway also announced a November release date for Unreal Tournament 3 on PS3 and PC, as well as a September release for BlackSite: Area 51. A new demo of BlackSite will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC in August.
Last, but not least, Konami showed a trailer of MGS4 and announced that Silent Hill V is in development for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Original composer Akira Yamaoka is returning to create a new soundtrack for the game. The company also discussed upcoming DDR games for the PS2, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. For the PS2, Konami plans a line of educational games known as the Kids Playground series.

The Sony press conference kicked off just moments ago, and the company brought da noise with Sony style: Strong, assertive and with the kind of swagger that only comes from having won the last console war hands-down.
Here are some of the major highlights:
* Jack Tretton showed up as his PSHome character. Pretty nifty. the Avatar walked through Home Square, apparently a new area of Home.
* Tretton: "over the past 14 years...Sony has strived to deliver great entertainment and innovation... we're going to show you games, games and more games." Good call, Sony.
* A little love for the PS2: Tretton trumpets the console's sucess and says over 160 games are coming to the console this year.
* PSP Games shown include: SOCOM U.S. Navy Seals Tactical Strike, Wipeout: Pulse, Syphon Filter; Logan's Shadow, NBA '08, God of War: Chains of Olympus, Silent Hill Origins, Patapon, Tiger Woods '08, Sonic Rivals 2, Sims 2: Castaway, SWAT: Target Liberty, Final Fantasy Tacktics: The war of the Lion, Castlevania.
* Tretton showed off some of the awesome custimization stuff available on the PSHome. Kaz and Tretton virtually "hung out" and did a little comedy. Comedy is hard for everyone, so we gave them a pass.
* Kaz took the stage to cheers and unveiled the new PSP!
* New PSP: still has UMD, but it's 33% lighter than current and 19% slimmer. Improved battery, improved video, and can be hooked up to televisions! Wow!
* Kaz demoed the new PSP with a showing of Spiderman 2, controlled from a PSP.
* Comes in designer colors: "Ice Silver" Comes with Daxter and 1meg memory stick and The Family Guy: Frickin' Sweet UMD.
* Chewbaca (?!!) made an appearance to show off the Star Wars: Battlefront bundle. A white PSP with Darth Vader on the back. $199.99. TheFeed thinks corporate executives should not try to do comedy. Also, when did we drop acid?
* Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron comes out this fall.
* PlayStation Network is next up. 2 million users and 20 million downloads, according to Tretton.
* Phil Harrison takes the stage. Shows off five games from the PlayStation Network: EchoChrome, a puzzle game that look simply waste-your-life amazing. Like an Escher print and Line Rider had a genius offspring. You'll be hearing a lot about this one.
* Pain. Funny, destructive and as addictive as you can imagine.
* PS Network Games Shown include: Wipeout HD, Warhawk, SOCOM Confrontation.
* PlayStation Home: Home client can run on Sony phones. Without graphics, but with all the social networking acess.
* Harrison showed off some of the new spaces in Home. Very impressive.
* SingStar playable within Home.
* Harrison demonstrates the media capabilities of the phone/home connection by taking, then instantly uploading a photo of the crowd to PlayStation Home. Instantly uploads photos to Home. Very cool.
* Can push screenshots from in Home to webpages. Like MySpace but for fake you.
* Ability to launch any game from PS3 from inside Home.
* Shows off Motorstorm from Home. Eagles Nest map available next month.
* 80 gig PS3 model will be priced at $599 and is available on August.
* Sales of 60 gig model have doubled, according to Tretton.
* Prediction of 11 million sales of PS3s this year.
* Sony "never waivered in belief that Blu-Ray was the way to go."
* Tretton trumpets a 2-to-1 sales ration of Blu-Ray over HD-DVD.
* 120 games. 15 exclusive first-party games.
* Trailer for Ubisoft's Haze, a PS3 exclusive that many, many gamers are waiting for. Amazing visuals. Truly breathtaking.
* Sony announces Unreal Tournament 3 as a PlayStation 3 exclusive! Also: user created mods will be transferable from PCs to PS3s. NICE!
* Other games coming: Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, Resident Evil 5, Burnout Paradise, Madden NFL '08, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, The Simpson's Game, Guitar Hero III, Medal of Honor Airborn, and Rock Band.
* Tretton announces another Third Party Exclusive: Metal Gear Solid 4, putting to rest rumors that the game might be headed to 360s.
* Metal Gear Solid 4 will be the LAST Metal Gear game...evar!
* Real Time footage of the game was shown, and it is as good as it could possibly be. Wow. Blown away.
* Metal Gear Solid coming in "Early 2008!"
* Harrison and Tretton went on to discuss exclusives coming for the PS3, including Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Folklore, Heavenly Sword, NBA '08, LittleBigPlanet, (including a video of the game's building tools.) and finally, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
* Infamous, a newly announced title featuring dark, brooding visuals and plot.
* Pulling everything together: Impressive, in-game footage of first person war title Killzone 2.

Sony have announced that a new PlayStation Portable, dubbed the PSP Slim & Lite, will launch in Europe (plus the US and Japan) in September.
The new PSP will be come in several designs. Piano black, Ice Silver, Felicia Blue, Lavender Purple, Rose Pink and a special pure white version with a picture of Darth Vader on the back. They will be released in bundles. One with a 1GB memory stick and Daxter and the other with the Family Guy "Freakin' Sweet" UMD. The Darth Vader design will be released in a bundle with Star Wars Battlefront. Each pack will cost $199.
The video-out port means the new PSP will allow users to experience UMD video, pictures and movies from Memory Stick Duo and game software titles on their TVs at home. It’s also equipped with an enhanced feature to temporarily store game data from UMDs, reducing load time during game play; plus the ability to charge the unit through a PlayStation 3 or PC via USB cable during data transfer.

PSPDemon is listening to E3 heres what sony have said so far:
New features for the PSP Include new design which is 33% lighter, 13% Slimmer, has Video Out and outputs high quality video.
Heres news from engadget
It's not quite the PSP 2 some might've hoped for, but Sony is giving its handheld console a serious refresh in the form of a slimmer, lighter and faster "updated" PSP. The new unit still includes the 4.3-inch LCD and UMD, but is 33 percent lighter, 19 percent slimmer, has sped up game load times and improved battery life. The only real "new" features is a video output capability to allow you to play your PSP games on a big screen TV. You can score one in September in the original Piano Black, a new Ice Silver color, and a Star Wars Battlefront special edition.

SCEE has told CVG that details 'leaked' on its Euro PS3 announcement planned for later this week are categorically not true.
Internet reports are stating that the company's announcement will include news on a bundle containing PS3, Resistance Fall of Man and MotorStorm which will have a recommended retail price of 514 Euro (roughly 350 quid) - in France at least.
The information appeared in a leaked internal email sent by a French retailer to a Sony key account manager based in Paris, according to website Spong, in which it was said the bundle would be available in France as of August 1.
The site went on to say it contacted the key account manager in question who verified the authenticity of the email and, when questioned, confirmed that the information within would form part of Sony's announcement Europe-wide.
However, SCEE told CVG that the reported details including pricing are "categorically not true" when contacted.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's announcement, which is expected to be value-related, will occur at around 5am our time on Friday morning.

Pre-E3 whispers say MGS4 will be a timed exclusive for PS3. Microsoft mentioned just about every other game under the sun at its E3 press conference expect Kojima's highly-anticipated action game.
It was only yesterday that rumours of Metal Gear Solid 4 being released for Xbox 360 hit a new high. Konami's head of US and European operations, Kazumi Kitaue, said that even though Metal Gear Solid was born for PlayStation, and the firm would like to keep it that way, steps may have to be taken.
We can only presume that he means steps taken to make the game multiplatform to cover the cost of the game's lengthy development cycle.
A source has told CVG that , "Kitaue is constantly trying to force Kojima to drop the game's PS3 exclusivity, which Hideo refuses point blank to do. Trust me MGS4 will be a PS3 exclusive for for months at least."
Microsoft's press conference focused on games that will be released this year (apart from Resi 5). There was no mention of MGS4 and 360 which makes us believe that Sony is still holding tight to the franchise. If it was coming to 360, Peter Moore would have made a massive song and dance about it. He didn't, probably because the deal's not been signed yet.

Square Enix's John Yamamoto, president and CEO for North America and Europe, has said that the publisher is busily trying to work out if it can release Last Remnant and Final Fantasy XIII simultaneously worldwide, calling it "a goal".
"For one of our biggest upcoming titles, Last Remnant, we're working to simultaneously launch in the United States and Japan - and we're aiming for Europe. We're still assessing whether that's feasible, but it's a goal," Yamamoto told our sister site GamesIndustry.biz on the eve of the E3 Media & Business Summit in Santa Monica.
"We'll try our best," Yamamoto said when asked whether the same would be true for next-generation Final Fantasy. "Our ultimate purpose is to release titles in five languages at the same time. That is our ultimate goal and we are working on that," he added.
Square Enix has traditionally struggled to get Europe into line with launches in other territories, with translation thought responsible for a four-month gap between Final Fantasy XII's US and European releases, and the five extra months it took for Dragon Quest: The Journey of the Cursed King to materialise here following its North American launch.
Last Remnant was unveiled at the Square Enix Party 2007 last month with the promise of a simultaneous US/Japan release, while Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII - both currently only for PS3 - first pitched up at E3 last year.

John Yamamoto, president and CEO of Square Enix's European and North American subsidiaries, has warned that gamers may still think PS3 is too expensive despite the recently announced price cut.
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz at the E3 Media and Business Summit Yamamoto said, "We're watching the hardware trends closely and also the marketing strategy of the platform holders.
"I think USD 500 for PS3 is still a bit expensive for most gamers. Most of them think that price is still high."
Sony announced that the price of PS3 will come down in the US to USD 499 earlier this week, but has yet to say whether a similar move will be made in Europe.
When asked if he believes a European price cut is necessary Yamamoto replied, "Yes, because they started at USD 600 and EUR 600 - so maybe it would be better to come down to EUR 500."
His remarks come after Konami's Kazumi Kitaue questioned whether a USD 100 reduction will be enough to win support for PS3 - and hinted that Metal Gear Solid may no longer be a platform exclusive.
Yamamoto declined to comment on whether Square Enix might also considering taking the Final Fantasy series to other consoles. However, a Square Enix spokesperson said, "At previous E3s and other shows we've announced different Final Fantasies for different platforms, and I think that will continue."
