TV-show Top Gear en Gran Turismo smelten samen
Top Gear zal te downloaden via Gran Turismo TV.
Gran Turismo TV, ook wel bekend als GT TV, is een online kanaal waarom het laatste en het nieuwste binnen de racesport te vinden zal zijn. Het zal wereldwijd launchen in 2008 via het PlayStation Network. Tot die tijd echter kan Sony nog werken aan de publiciteit van dat kanaal en van Gran Turismo, en de deal die ze nu hebben gesloten zal daar zeker aan bijdragen. Allereerst zullen maar liefst 40 aflevering van Top Gear te downloaden zijn via GT TV. Het tweede en wellicht meer aansprakend nieuwtje is dat het Top Gear testcircuit, dat elke keer terugkomt in de show, zal worden nagebootst in de nieuwste Gran Turismo. Een extra reden om de game straks te halen?
