In addition to unveiling the soundtrack to Gran Turismo 5: Prologue on Tuesday, the Official PlayStation Blog said the full game won't release for at least another year.

"To further clarify, GT5 is still about a year away," writes SCEA associate producer Chris Hinojosa-Miranda, in response to a PlayStation blog commenter reluctant to purchase the limited features of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.
"You should just decide now to buy [Prologue], enjoy it, go online and race against anyone and everyone, rank number one worldwide, get the girl (or guy) and become the most popular kid in town," playfully adds Hinojosa-Miranda.
Sony of Europe used a similar strategy in 2004 when it released Gran Turismo 4: Prologue for the PS2, a full year before the final game was released in 2005. The enhanced demo was never released in the U.S., however.
Gran Turismo 5: Prologue is scheduled for release on PS3 in North America on April 17 and carries an MSRP of $39.99.
Now that we know the full version of GT5 is roughly a year away, does this change your opinion at all on buying GT5: Prologue?
