Get Yourself Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for Christmas

Looking for the perfect gift for an automotive enthusiast ? Check out Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for Playstation 3 which was just released a few days ago over in Japan. You can pick up the Blu ray of the disk over at Play-asia as we did , but also make sure you pick up the new Dual Shock 3 as well - its not out till mid next year in the  States. The game rings in for around 60 dollars but is well worth the price of admission for the best driving simulator ever produced.

The best "simulation"? Please. If you want a game with great graphics this is it. If you want a simulation, rFactor is the cream of the crop. Professional drivers from around the world swear by it.
