You heard right -- this Fall (or Autumn, if you want to be really specific) Sony and Polyphony will be releasing a sort of Well, since this comes out in the Fall and the next full iteration of the GT series is due out in the Spring of '08, we've got to wonder if this will follow GTHD in some respects. Namely, will it be free to download? We're going to vote 'yes' because the Gran Turismo series is pretty much Sony property. Sony wants to keep their network free and there's no reason to charge us for that. For third-party games there'll probably be a fee once demos start rolling out. What do you guys think?

Why would Sony want to start charging fees for demos? I love my ps3, but the only thing Sony's online system has over XbocksLive is the fact that it's free.
Some day down the road, I could understand Sony needing to start charging a fee, but it seems a little soon to charge anything before the service matures a little more.

I can see the day when sony starts charging for full length hd movie downloads but hopefully never for demo's.
games cost money demo's should be free....

all games should have demos and all demos should be free.
i am very excited about the online play. i wonder how they are going to deal with car to car contact. there will probably be 12 year olds who think its fun to drive backwards down the main straight.
