Simon Danker, Director, Digital Media, BBC Worldwide commented,“BBC Top Gear is the world’s number one motoring media brand and we’re thrilled to make it accessible to Gran Turismo gamers. We continue to explore different avenues to share our content with an expanding audience, and are delighted to participate with Polyphony Digital in the launch of this exciting new opportunity.”

All you have to do is pay $400 bucks for an underdeveloped console and another $80 for the game.

360, actually. XBOX Live kicks major ****, and 99% of the time the games looks as good or better on the Box than on PS3.

That sounds like fun, but isn't GT5 still about a year away from release?

This is Polyphony Digital we're talking about, so there's a pretty good chance it'll get delayed a couple times.

Wii Just is not my style. Any system that can make you sweat to make you play a game... You might as well play the game in REAL LIFE.

It would just be nice to have a Fox Mustang in a GT game. Since they are getting with Top Gear, that pretty much is a nail in the coffin for being "no". Top Gear's a good show, but their taste in cars isnt always a match for mine. My beef is you can have a 93hp daihatsu, but not one of Ford's most produced ponies. Too bad you cant import cars from the Mustang the legend lives game.
