Gran Turismo is the most popular racing sim series, with 5 editions released on the PlayStation (part 1 and 2 on the PS1, the rest on PS2). So many race game fans are waiting for Gran Turismo HD for the PS3 (or whatever the name will be, probably just "Gran Turismo 5"). Its release date is not known yet, but luckily Sony has released a playable demo. Freely downloadable on your PS3, through the PlayStation Store. And it looks like GT5 is going to be a top game again.

Upon downloading Gran Turismo HD Concept, PS3 users have access to the Eiger Nordwand course and can compete in Time Trial races to collect and unlock new cars. Upon unlocking the initial 10 cars, the player has access to 10 more "Tuned Cars," as well as access to a new driving mode called 'Drift Trial.'"

Gran Turismo HD could have been a strong selling point for the Playstation 3. Instead of releasing it as a stand alone title, Gran Turismo HD is going to be distributed through the Playstation Network as a free demo. Instead concepts of the game are going to be used towards Gran Turismo 5. The demo is going to be on the Playstation Store on December 24 in Japan. While other Gran Turismo demos, like GT 4: Prologue, were sold Gran Turismo HD is going to be free.
