The Gran Turismo 5 time trial challenge leads this update! Yes, GT5! Not Prologue or HD but GT5! We also get some nice price drops so there should be no reason for you to not own Holy Invasion of Privacy Badman! What did I do to deserve this? Here is the list of other notable Store updates.
Here are a few tweets I posted today:

Who says Qore doesn’t have it’s benefits but being a leak before E3, I don’t think happened on accident. As a release engineer, I NEVER preloaded anything to production if it wasn’t ready to go. At most the content will be sitting in a pending status the night before or day of a prod release. So either this was intentional or someone really screwed up!

After watching the Qore episode, I do like it and the design is growing on me but my inital impressions is that this isn’t a true Sony product. Not the Sony I know. I love the standard memory and the expansion slot. In the episode Koller mentions that we want our media on the Go, hence the name. I have to ask, why limit the product to wifi? It would have been nice to know it uses or can use a cellular data connection so that you can really get your content on the go. I am rarely in a wifi accessible area and this would be more than welcome!
Having a smaller screen also bothers me. Maybe it is because they are trying to make this more user friendly meaning a sacrifice in size. This is telling by the amount of weight they are saving compared to the current models. I also cant help but want a touch screen. Not for gaming, but I would love to just keep it closed and navigate the XMB, PS Store, access the music controls, movie controls and everything else without having to open it. Maybe I should just wait until E3 to find out the details?
Check out more amateur pics from the June Qore episode:
Sony has announced that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be release April 17th, 2008. It will be available on PSN as a download or on Blu-Ray disc for $39.99 in either format. The disc version will have an extra behind the scenes video available.
