Default Confirmed: Pay as you play with PS3 GT HD - Oh dear....

An earlier romour on Maxconsole:-

Quote:
A Famitsu interview with Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed some slightly disturbing facts as to how you will truly pay as you play with PS3's GT HD. It's rumoured that you will not get cars via in game events and by only purchasing and downloading. To own all the cars and tracks in the game, you may have to fork out as much as $845!
And confirmation today:-

An official press release from Sony regarding Gran Turismo HD seems to reveal the thought we all dreaded - in theory, paying lots of cash to get all the cars and tracks in the game. The release reads "allows for the long awaited feature of additional cars (ranging up to 770 car models) and tracks (up to 51) available through ongoing downloads".
Nice. It seems to get the most out of the game you need to purchase the additional cars and tracks - none of the superb free track and vehicle downloading that came with Wipeout Pure on the PSP.

Personally I think it's disgusting - especially as they're trying to advertise it as a feature when it is clearly a rip off.

Sony clearly taking aim at it's foot with this. Let's hope they see sense before the release date.
