Can't believe how little hype surrounds this game, especially when you think it's out in just a few weeks (1st October :eek:

). Can't wait myself, only reason that I picked up a PSP.

Theres been plenty of hype. Its the game they are pushing the psp go with.

Yup. Hard to believe it, but GT PSP is actually coming out in a few weeks.

Blimey, looks pretty good from what I have just seen too. Over 800 cars. :eek:

Sounds great doesn't it

I like the fact that what you unlock in this version of GT, you also unlock in GT5. Presume it'll just be cars, but it'd be handy if it was the licences too, save a whole lot of time!

This is why I bought the PSP, was supposed to come out with it on release :/

Does this have the licence tests? Those were so much fun trying to get gold.

Looks like it, and Jay Leno to do the voice overs:

Like GT5, until its physically in your hands I ain't gonna believe any release date!

This one seems pretty concrete though, it's not been given loads of place holding dates by the online stores, unlike GT5.

I am spending £220 on a PSP go to play this, instead of completing my PC

PSP GT better be out on the first of October

My PSP hasn't been getting the love and use it warrants the last month or so, think i will pick this up when it comes out, it looks brilliant for a handheld.

Some more news, with footage of game running at 60 fps.

According to that site the embargo on reviews is lifted tomorrow, could be interesting...

I cannot wait for this game.
Will be the first day one buy for me since liberty city stories.

What amazes me is from looking at videos it dosent look blocky like other racers on the system. Hopefully the handeling feels good and not blocky as well
