Exactly....The thought of playing Zelda and Metroid Prime is very enticing to say the least. Would definitely feel "fresh" for sure.
Maybe I will run into some money and join the multiple console group...
November 30, 2006 - Sony and Polyphony Digital's experiment in download-based gaming has come to an early end. Sony announced today that it has cancelled the retail release of Gran Turismo HD in favor of a full-fledged Gran Turismo 5 product.
Gran Turismo HD was originally set for Japanese release later this month. Sony was planning to release the title at low cost, but with minimal gameplay content included from the start. Players would have to download cars and tracks through micro transactions.
A version of Gran Turismo HD will still be released exclusively in download form through the PlayStation store. Titled Gran Turismo HD Concept, this free download will be available through the Japanese store on 12/24. A date for the US store debut has not been announced.
This isn't a knock on Sony or Polyphony Digital, but I would also expect PD's usual delays contributed to the cancellation--why bother wasting their time on an interim game if it is going to not only impact GT5's release but also end up being released just before it.
