If your GT5 Prologue won’t connect to the servers (every time you start it) it almost definately means you haven’t applied the update. I had it happen to me that it didn’t offer me the update because I hadn’t applied 2.20 (PS3) yet - there are various ways this could happen, but to repair it follow the steps below –

1. Exit the game
2. Go to your Saved Data on your PS3
3. Delete (or read below) your GT5 save file
4. Start the game again
5. Download the update

If you really don’t want to delete your save game, you can copy it to a flash memory stick; then delete it and copy it back afterwards.

Other tips are to go to Options, Networking and change your NAT type to 2 (from 1) and to Clear the Cache in the same menu. However, I found only the steps above worked for me.

The Gran Turismo series is one of my favourite and is a game I make sure I buy as soon as I can. The latest release in the series is the build up to the final GT5 game. I got it last night and after playing it a bit I must say that I am impressed with what they have done so far.

The gameplay is true to the series and the graphics are unbelievable. I’m still busy working my way up the classes and will post a more complete entry once I’m done so you know what to expect if you are looking to buy it.

The one thing I am sad about, and this might be my own fault not googling it before buying it - you can not create private online games. This is said to be released during the course of development and will feature in the final release, but this still makes me sad.
