A lot of gamers in Europe have been wondering why they didn't get Gran Turismo 5 Prologue when the UEFA Euro 2008 demo and the new trailer of Grand Theft Auto 4 were released.

Sony released a statement regarding the issue to website Eurogamer. The company said that it experienced some problems getting the demo up:

Unfortunately due to some last minute technical difficulties, we were unable to publish the new content to the PS Store yesterday. We are working to resolve these issues and will let you know as soon as new content is posted.

Unfortunately, Sony didn't give out any details on when the game will be available for download . We'll be keeping close watch on this so be sure to keep checking back here for more updates regarding this issue.

Oh for freaking crying out loud!

Is it that hard to keep up with schedules? And am I the only one who thinks this "Last minute technical difficulties" is a biased excuse ?

For god's sake, I've always been a Sony fan and supporter (no, not fanboy as I've owned several Sega and Nintendo consoles...and never have I had any fanboyish comments relayed out in the open.) but, sincerely, I'm having quiet a hard time when it comes to believing the biased and far-fetched excuses Sony has been giving everyone for the delays, can't they just tell the truth once and for all ? All the secretism behind Haze is pissing me off aswell as hurting the hype and expectation degree the game is holding at the moment. That might not be Sony's fault, but if Sony were to pressure the developing teams so that they must meet certain criteria, this wouldn't be happening every god darn week! Sincerely? Sony has been playing a slow and easy game ever since HD-DVD was blown away by Blu-Ray .. However, a console is not only made of Audiovisual Media but consists a whole lot more on the videogames being developed for the said console! So, please, take care of your priorities for once.

Why the huge rant? Because I bet Sony knows about the whole QJ.net community and websites, and I bet atleast ONE person from their whole team has their eyes set from time to time on the website to see how things are doing.

And that was today's Rant. Good day :)

Im not saying that isnt founded, but Sony needs to make sure that every game that comes out this year are million sellers and block buster AAA titles. If GT5P needs to be pushed a couple weeks to ensure that it will be something that will knock the gaming puplics socks off, then so be it.

The big thing about the PS3 is that they say games on their console will be better then those on the XBOX, period. So they need to make sure there are far less Lairs and Far more Uncharteds and Ratchet and Clanks.

And besides, the Blu-Ray version was still on sale on time. So I actually believe this, you have to read the original article too, not just take everything QJ says at face value.
